Jet Li: I'm doing great and feeling great!

Martial artist and celebrity Jet Li has finally broken his silence amid the rumours surrounding his health. 

In a Facebook post on Thursday (May 24), he wrote: "I would like to thank all my fans who expressed concerns about my health. I'm doing great and feeling great! I'm excited to share with you all a few projects I am working on in the near future. For now, thank you all for your concerns!"

A video of a talk given by the star recently in Chengdu was also uploaded, which showed Li speaking energetically and in good spirits.

Fans all over the world had expressed shock over his recent frail appearance in a photo taken during a visit to a Tibet temple, which his manager brushed off as just a "bad photo" of someone who is 55-years-old.
