Jackie Chan, 70, attracted attention at the Australian Open final on January 25, sparking concern due to his fatigued appearance in the stands.
The legendary actor attended the final dressed casually in a white T-shirt and brown khaki jacket. Videos shared on social media revealed him sitting in the front row, looking visibly exhausted, which led fans to express worry. Comments such as, “I don’t recognize Jackie Chan anymore,” and “He seems tired—does he have health issues?” reflected their concern.
However, behind-the-scenes footage told a different story. Jackie Chan appeared energetic and lively, engaging with German tennis player Alexander Zverev, shaking hands, and even entertaining others with Kung Fu and juggling tricks, showcasing his signature charisma.
Despite his enduring passion for entertaining, Jackie Chan's career has seen challenges in recent years. His latest film, Panda Plan, was a box office disappointment, earning only 300 million yuan and resulting in significant financial losses. This follows a string of underperforming films, including The Foreigner and The Secret Seal of the Dragon, with Chan admitting to losing nearly 2 billion yuan over the past six years.
In 2025, Jackie Chan is set to return to the action genre with Karate Kid: Legends. While the film’s trailer was released in late 2024, it has yet to generate significant buzz. Fans remain hopeful for a resurgence in his career as the beloved actor continues to push boundaries at 70.
