Not sure where to look for the latest or most updated news. But i remember reading and also seeing some videos about Jet Li being very sick.

Dont remember the name on the illness. But it could not be cured. He was crying. And the video said that he was gonna live the last part of his life in a wheelchair..

So that broke my heart.. Being a big fan of him. Jet li got me into wushu in the late 90s.

Him not being able to train kung fu is very sad.

But since the start of this year i have seen a trailer on youtube of a taiji movie by him. And now he got a part in the live Mulan movie?

So any news? Is he in better health?
 
He was able to kill a Jet Li from another dimension and is doing much better
 
This sounds vaguely familiar but I haven't heard anything about it until the casting announcement.

I would assume he must be doing better?
 
On is Wiki page it says that he revealed in 2013 to be suffering from hyperthyroidism since 2010 and had to take medication and was forbidden to make any kind of exercise. In 2016 he declared to be full healthy again.
No mention of any other illness there.

He was diagnosed in 2010 with hyperthyroidism, but did all of the expendable movies. He said he stayed in shape with Tai Chi and Badmitton....I guess that disease makes you gay.
 
Jet Li: Doc, will I still be able to do gravity-defying kicks followed by cheap-looking CGI in front of some random fiery background?

Doctor: No, and that movie sucked

Jet Li: OH, THAT DOES IT!!!

That movie did indeed suck, as did Black Mask.

However, Fist of Legend and Legend are awesome and, therefore, so is Jet Li.

I imagine it'll be hard to get any news unless he snuffs it, or it becomes national/international news MA legend Jet Li is chair-bound for life.

Just assume he's in same condition and coping ok.

Yeah.. He is more manly then you.

he had hyperthyroidism and needed iodine, his heart would beat fast and he said it would scare him so he took meds and was able to reduce it. Probably iodoral iodine or something?

Doesnt eating lots of msg mess with the thyroid?

A lot of stuff can mess w/ the thyroid. I have a relative that told me a co-worker had some thyroid issues from doing some extreme fasting.

That movie was awesome except for that God awful fight you are talking about
 
My favourite Jet Li movie is Twin Warriors. It used to show up frequently on Channel 4 at around midnight and as I was a reclusive teenager at the time with sleeping issues, I often watched it before going to sleep. Epic film.

Also eating too much cruciferous foods like raw brocoli if you eat that daily it could screw up your thyroid.

I thought cruciferous vegetables are supposed to be a superfood that you should eat all the time. I can't keep up with all this nutrition stuff.. it's always changing.
