Has Chinese actor Jet Li's health deteriorated in recent years? Recent photos circulating on China's social media platforms purportedly of the 55-year-old Beijing-born action star have fuelled speculation that Li is in poor health. On Weibo, many Chinese netizens were taken aback by the frail appearance of the actor, and expressed hopes for his health to improve. Years later, in a 2016 interview with The Straits Times, Li said that media reports of his health were greatly exaggerated. Last month, it was reported that Li was in final talks to take on the role of the emperor of China in Disney's upcoming live-action version of Mulan, together with Chinese star Gong Li.
