Action legend Jackie Chan is very much alive, despite yet another viral hoax claiming the beloved actor has died. The false reports, which flooded Facebook and X earlier this week, set off confusion and panic among fans worldwide before being quickly debunked.
The 'Jackie Chan dead' rumour is hardly new. Since 2015, the 71-year-old Hong Kong-born star has been repeatedly targeted by fake death posts. This week's claim, which alleged Chan had died from 'complications from decades of on-set injuries,' followed the same formula seen in earlier hoaxes.
