Everyone will grow old one day, no matter Sammo Hung, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, or Andy Lau. I was watching "The Smell of Walking" a few days ago, and Sammo Hung's son talked about his father. He said that his father considered losing weight due to health problems, but he could not resist the temptation of delicious food, so he became increasingly fat.
The fact that Sammo Hung is in a wheelchair is probably related to the old injuries of the kung fu actor. Moreover, Sammo Hung was born in 1949 and is over 68 years old this year. He cannot accept old age. Sammo Hung has made countless movies and has been injured many times in movies. My legs were dislocated or broken more than 7 times, and my arms were broken 3 times. The most serious one required an operation from the back to the chest. After the operation, the arm was suspended and fixed for 8 months. It is not an exaggeration to say that I use my life to make movies. And as we age, the places where fractures and dislocations occurred become more fragile and aging. This is a problem that all action actors have to face.
Jackie Chan suffered more injuries, which is related to his professionalism. He would challenge any dangerous action, just to present the most exciting action scenes to the audience. Many action movie stars will use body doubles when they encounter too dangerous actions, but Jackie Chan rarely uses them and always does it himself. During his acting career, he was injured nearly 20 times, and the bridge of his nose alone was injured 4 times, not counting minor injuries caused by bumps and bumps. On several occasions, Jackie Chan was even in danger of being paralyzed. Compared with Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung are considered better. Jet Li has been completely plagued by injuries and illnesses, and has lost the heroic spirit of his youth.
Jet Li was born in 1963 and is 54 years old this year. In 1982, he starred in "Shaolin Temple" and became a global sensation. Later, he starred in the "Once Upon a Time" series of movies, creating a trend of martial arts movies. He has starred in characters such as Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, Linghu Chong, Zhang Sanfeng, Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen, etc., which is impressive. Jet Li is undoubtedly the most popular action actor in mainland China. But in recent years, Jet Li has already faded away from the entertainment industry, focusing on charity and worshiping Buddha.
The action actor has devoted his best fighting years to the audience without reservation, and deserves everyone's respect. At the moment, the most famous action actors are undoubtedly Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, Wu Yue, and Donnie Yen. The "Wolf Warrior" series and the "Slaying the Wolf" series are their hard work. Although today's technological advancement can avoid many dangerous situations, injuries are still a common occurrence for them. "Wolf Warrior 2" achieved a box office of 5.6 billion. This is Wu Jing's success and the success of the action actor. They are filming with their lives, and we hope that we will give them the greatest respect.
