Shocker: Jet Li's Frail Appearance

The name of Jet Li needs no introduction to action movie lovers across the globe. Jet Li started off his career with Chinese martial arts films and he went on to work with several Hollywood production houses. Just Like Jackie Chan, Jet Li commands a huge fan following worldwide. His latest pic has come as a shocker to all his fans.

The 55-year-old Jet Li is looking frail in the pic accompanied by some other person. As soon as the pic was out online, it has raised concerns that the superstar is suffering from serious illness. Responding to the widespread concerns regarding the health of Jet Li, his manager Steven Chasman said that "He has been suffering from hyperthyroidism for the past ten years. He's dealing with it and it's not life-threatening. We appreciate your concern but Jet Li is completely fine."

Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which thyroid gland produces too much of thyroxine and it causes sudden weight loss and irregular heartbeat. Jet Li's last prominent Hollywood film was 'The Expendables 3'.
