Jet Li’s recent snap

His Fan named Simon has taken posted a picture of himself with Jet Li when they were in a temple in Tibet. In the picture, the 55-year-old filmmaker is standing with the fan and smiling at the camera.

But Jet Li’s frail look and health are evident in it. The fan who posed with the martial artist used one of his hands to support the actor’s arms.

So, apparently, Jet Li is suffering from "hyperthyroidism and spinal problems" and this is him now ❤️😓: pic.twitter.com/Ss0W2EL96D

The response of Jet Li’s fans on social media

One of his fans wrote after seeing the frail photo of Jet Li:

“Jackie Chan and Jet Li were like Gods to me when I was little. It’s so sad to see Li like this,”

Another of Jet Li’s fans lamented:

“Im broken to see him like this.”

Many others could not believe their eyes that the person in the picture is Jet Li; he looked so different, they said. When enquired about his health, Jet Li’s representatives never got back to the PEOPLE magazine on it. There have been no comments forthcoming from Jet Li about this recent post, but the picture speaks a million.

It was in late December that Jet Li had shared a video with his fans and viewers in which he could be seen and heard wishing his fans happy holidays and wishing them good luck for the New Year to come.

This he had posted on his Instagram account.

Jet Li’s hyperthyroidism problem

Jet Li has been suffering from some health issues for the last few years. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in the year of 2010 and made an official announcement on his health in 2013. He had said at that time:

“I’m in pain, but I’m not suffering. I’m happy,”

It was also reported at that time that Jet Li is also suffering from a heart ailment. He also was not able to stand for a long time due to the old injuries which he had got when he was shooting films on the sets. During the filming of scenes, he had injured himself in the legs and spine. These injuries supposedly had healed doing those young days but were giving him trouble now.

Jet Li has also talked about his illness and his prolonged absence from the public eye last year when he attended One Foundation’s charity dinner in the Chinese capital of Beijing. He was taking medications for his hyperactive thyroid to keep it in check but the condition kept recurring back, he had said.

Jet Li’s likely next project

Hollywood Reporter had stated last month that Jet Li would be seen in Disney’s live-action remake of the film Mulan. He would play the character of the emperor of China who had ordered the mobilization of troops by employing one male from each household.
