Jackie Chan, the iconic 71-year-old action hero, is very much alive, dispelling a recent wave of death hoax reports circulating online. Social media platforms recently buzzed with alarming, yet untrue, claims of his death, attributing it to lingering effects of old injuries. However, verified sources have confirmed the actor’s good health. The false narratives, often originating from anonymous posts on X and Facebook, claimed that Jackie Chan’s family had announced his passing due to complications from decades of stunts. These posts, such as one reading, ‘Jackie Chan, 71, passes away after battle with complications from decades of on-set injuries, family confirms heartbreaking loss…’, sparked immediate distress among his global fanbase. Many fans expressed disbelief and anger at the spread of such misinformation. This marks a recurring pattern, as Chan himself publicly refuted similar death rumors back in 2015, stating, ‘don’t worry! I’m still alive.’ His continued work in cinema, including recent films like ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ (2025) and ‘Ride On’ (2023), and upcoming ventures such as ‘New Police Story 2’ and ‘Project P’, underscore his active career.
