‘After recovering from the shock, the second thing that would come to my mind is a saying that my big brother, Sammo Hung once said: “Being able to grow old is a fortunate thing.” Especially for us stunt people, we don’t know how lucky we are to be able to grow old.

‘Not so long ago, a lot of friends saw some recent photos of me on the internet, and they were all concerned about my health. I want to take this opportunity to let everyone know, don’t worry!

‘It’s just a character appearance for my latest movie. The character requires me to have white hair, white beard and look old.’

‘Over the years, I’ve always been willing to try new things for a movie, no matter if it’s a challenging stunt or a breakthrough appearance for a character,’ Jackie continued.

‘I’ve been in the entertainment business for 62 years and I cherish every moment because I’m lucky I’m still filming today.
