Jet Li's manager released a statement to quell fans' concerns over the actor's health, following an unflattering photo posted online.
After seeing the photo of Jet Li with a fan on social media, a number of media outlets began speculating on the actors health, calling him "unrecognisable." Another suggested the picture showed Li being assisted as he walked. However, Li's manager, Steven Chasman, told The Washington Post it's nothing more than a bad picture.
“He has hyperthyroidism that he’s been dealing with for almost 10 years. It’s nothing life-threatening and he’s dealing with it," Chasman said.
Li was diagnosed with the condition in 2013. Managed properly, symptoms of the condition can be reduced, but the severity of it differs on a case-by-case basis. In an interview with The Straits Times in 2016, Li said he had recovered from hyperthyroidism, cutting back on work to rest and do more charity work.
Chasman has called the media's reaction to Li's photo "sensationalism," sharing a much more flattering photo of the actor with The Washington Post, taken earlier this month, in which he looks just dandy for a 55-year-old man.
