Jackie Chan’s Status Confirmed: Actor Addresses Hoax

Dispelling alarming online rumors, 71-year-old action icon Jackie Chan is confirmed to be alive and in good health. Recent social media activity saw the spread of false reports claiming the actor’s death, often attributed to long-term effects of on-set injuries. These sensationalized and untrue claims have been officially refuted by reliable sources. The genesis of this particular hoax appears to stem from identical, fabricated posts circulating on platforms such as X and Facebook, falsely announcing his family’s confirmation of his passing. These messages, which fueled confusion and distress, prompted immediate reactions from fans expressing disbelief. This incident is reminiscent of past instances where Jackie Chan has had to publicly deny rumors of his death. In 2015, he directly addressed similar claims, reassuring his supporters that he was still alive. Chan’s active career continues unabated, with recent films like ‘Ride On’ (2023) and ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ (2025) hitting screens. His future projects, including ‘New Police Story 2’ and potentially ‘Rush Hour 4’, highlight his ongoing commitment to filmmaking.
