False Reports: Jackie Chan is Alive and Well

Fear not, fans! Jackie Chan, the celebrated 71-year-old martial arts star, is alive and healthy, despite recent social media fabrications suggesting otherwise. A surge of false reports emerged online, claiming the actor had passed away due to complications from past injuries sustained during his stunt-filled career. These untrue statements, widely disseminated on platforms like X and Facebook, have been thoroughly debunked. Reports indicate that individuals close to the star have confirmed his well-being. The hoax messages often presented themselves as official family confirmations, causing considerable alarm. For example, one widely shared post declared, ‘Jackie Chan, 71, passes away… family confirms heartbreaking loss.’ This misinformation generated immediate shock and frustration among fans, many of whom questioned the validity of the news. Interestingly, this is not the first time Jackie Chan has faced such baseless rumors; he previously addressed similar falsehoods in 2015, assuring everyone that he was alive. Meanwhile, Chan continues to engage audiences with his recent cinematic contributions, including ‘The Shadow’s Edge’ (2025) and ‘The Legend’ (2024), and has a slate of upcoming projects, reinforcing his vibrant presence in Hollywood.
