Xiaoshu 175 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Chinese kung fu megastar Jet Li said he has hyperthyroidism but his illness is not so serious that it requires him to be in a wheelchair yet at a charity event in Beijing on Saturday. Li was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2013 and has had to take steroids meds for a long time, which has caused some problems for his heart and prevents him from making vigorous movements. "I have the disease, I'm struggling, but I'm not in a wheelchair yet.†There have been reports suggesting his deteriorating health, but Li said he would like to tell the public frankly about his illness and let them know that he is "facing it calmly and dealing with it positively." The 53-year-old actor has been in conspicuously few films since 2013 -- he had a cameo role in "The Expendables 3" in 2014 and will have a role in upcoming "League of Gods" at end of July. Li said his absence was due to his illness, religious faith and his new hobby of memorabilia collection. He added he would retire from film business in ten years and before that he will help build platforms to benefit young people in various industries. http://www.china.org.cn/arts/2016-07/05/content_38814249.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
