Action superstar Jet Li made headlines a while back for appearing startlingly frail and old in public — though it was later revealed that the actor had been suffering from hyperthyroidism, which severely affected his health and appearance.

But it looks like Jet has bounced back from his health scare, as he recently Instagrammed a photo of himself with his daughters at an event and where he wished his followers a Merry Christmas.

The photo was a treat for his fans for two reasons: Jet looked much more like his usual sprightly self in the picture, and everyone got a rare glimpse of his statuesque daughters Jane, 18, and Jada, 15. Jane and Jada are Jet’s kids with his second wife, '80s sexpot actress Nina Li Chi. He also has two other daughters, Si Li and Taimi Li, who are in their late twenties, from his first marriage to Chinese former actress Huang Qiuyan.

For the past couple of years, 56-year-old Jet Li has been plagued with rumours that his health is in serious trouble after shocking photos of him looking frail and haggard were posted online. But recently, the martial arts legend has been roundhouse kicking those rumours down with his increasingly youthful appearance.

Also a debutante at the chi-chi event is ‘90s screen goddess Chingmy Yau’s daughter Shum Yuet.

To commemorate the occasion, a very happy Jet posted this photo of him with Jane and his other daughter Jada, who is 16. Not in the pic though is Jet’s wife and the mother of the two girls, ’90s sex bomb Nina Li Chi, who has shunned the spotlight ever since retiring from showbiz. P/S: Jet also has two other daughters Si Li and Taimi Li, who are said to be in their late twenties now, from his first marriage to Chinese former actress Huang Qiuyan.

Jet Li Doesn't Look As Frail & Sickly These Days
He appeared frail and old back in May

fter revealing in 2013 that he was suffering from various health problems including hyperthyroidism, a heart condition and spinal problems, action star Jet Li shocked many when he appeared at a charity event in May this year, looking frail and older than his 55 years of age. His ill health was a result of doing his own stunts on physically-punishing action flicks, and suffering on-set injuries. But during a recent outing in Hongkong to catch the play Witness for the Prosecution, which starred Carina Lau and Hongkong veteran actor Paul Chun, Jet looked to be in better health.

When Jet left the theatre at around 10.45pm, he was approached by the Hongkong media. Jet reportedly laughed and said: “I haven’t seen you in a long time!” When he was quizzed by a journo about his physical health, Jet did not respond, and was said to have looked surprised by the question. When the reporter broached the topic of his hyperthyroidism affecting his lifestyle, Jet apparently said: “No, it has never been a problem.”

Jet, who is married to Hongkong actress Nina Li, had shown up at the play to support his father-in-law, veteran actor Li Yongxi, who is set to retire. While Nina was not present that night, Jet’s father-in-law was reportedly very happy to see him. The duo also took a photo with Carina Lau.

Did Jet Li Just Travel Back In Time?

In 2013, Jet Li revealed that he was facing a multitude of health issues: from a heart condition to spinal problems to hyperthyroidism. Then last May, shocking photos of the 56-year-old action superstar looking really old and frail made its rounds online, sparking serious concerns about his heath.

Not long after, the actor decided to shut down rumours that he’s “handicapped” or “dying”. “I am very happy and fine!” Jet emphasised in an interview with the Chinese media.

Then in August 2018, he was photographed looking in even better health outside a theatre in Hongkong.

Here’s How Jet Li Responded To Shocking Photos Of Him Looking Old And Frail
Is that really you, Jet Li?

Chinese action superstar Jet Li is known for being the hero in martial arts movies where he triumphs over his adversaries. However, it seems that in his personal life, the movie legend is facing an insurmountable battle with his greatest enemy yet: a crippling illnesses.

By now, you would have seen those shocking photos circulating online of the 55-year-old Jet looking like a frail 80-year-old man. His 'elderly' appearance sparked concerns over his health among fans, who took to social media to wish him a speedy recovery. The photos were reportedly taken during the star’s recent trip to a temple in Tibet. Jet, a devout Buddhist, was allegedly addressed as, ahem, “grandpa” by a bunch of school children due to his elderly appearance.

Back in 2013, the actor divulged in an interview that he was suffering a myriad of health problems, including hyperthyroidism, a heart condition and spinal problems from his many years of physically-demanding film work and on-set injuries. Jet said then that his doctors had warned him that he could “either continue making [action] films or spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair”. While he’s on medication to control the hyperthyroidism, he admitted last year that the condition keeps recurring. He also said that his injuries limited his movements and that he can no longer stand for long periods of time. Just like fellow action superstar Jackie Chan, Jet has risked life and limb for his craft’s sake. In 1986, while filming Fearless, Jet fell from a 12-foot high tower which left him with broken ribs, a serious left ankle fracture and internal injuries.
