Li Lianjie better known by his stage name Jet Li, got his fans worried when a picture of him recently surfaced online.
A photo of Jet Li widely shared on social media has sparked concern among fans who felt the Chinese actor looked unrecognisable as he continues to battle health problems.
Li who has appeared in movies like Romeo Must Die was snapped visiting a temple in Tibet donning glasses and a shaved head, South China Morning Post reported. The 55-year-old appeared to need assistance while walking.
“He was so active before and now he looks like an old man,” a fan said.
Back in 2013, he was suffering from a series of health issues, including hyperthyroidism, spinal problems and a heart condition. He was first diagnosed with an overactive thyroid in 2010 and took medication to control it.
Reacting to the viral picture, Jet Li’s manager, Steven Chasman, said that it was just a bad photo of someone who is 55 years old.
“He has hyperthyroidism that he’s been dealing with for almost 10 years. It’s nothing life-threatening and he’s dealing with it,” Chasman told the Washington Post
