Jet Li reveals health struggles and symptoms of dementia

Martial arts star Jet Li has recently shared updates regarding his declining health, causing concern among fans. In a recent video, the 63-year-old actor appeared visibly exhausted and haggard, noting that he feels as though he has dementia and describing a sensation of numbness in his hands that prevents movement.

While his comments were delivered with a sense of humor, his physical appearance—marked by deep wrinkles and a lack of energy—has led to speculation about his actual condition. Li has a history of health struggles, including hyperthyroidism diagnosed in 2013, which has previously caused visible changes to his facial features. He also noted that long-term injuries sustained during his film career, such as spinal misalignment and broken ribs, have limited his ability to exercise.

Beyond physical ailments, Li expressed a significant shift in his mental outlook. He remarked that work has become a heavy burden and that he no longer possesses the desire to do as much as he once did, expressing a wish to simply rest and clear his mind.
