Rumors about Jackie stepping away from the spotlight have been swirling for years, especially as his on-screen appearances have become more sporadic. But fans always hoped he’d come back swinging, literally. However, in a recent personal conversation with close friends — snippets of which have surfaced online — Etta Ng is said to have shared that her father’s health has been “steadily declining” and that he’s decided to prioritize rest and family.

“His body just isn’t what it used to be,” she reportedly said. “He’s done pushing it. He wants to enjoy life now.”

Jackie, who turned 70 in April 2024, has spent over five decades dazzling audiences with death-defying stunts, iconic fight scenes, and unmatched comedic timing. While he has suffered numerous injuries over the years — from broken bones to spinal damage — he’s always bounced back. Until now.

Although there’s been no official statement from Chan himself, fans are taking the news seriously, expressing both sadness and support. Social media has been flooded with appreciation posts, video tributes, and messages wishing the star a peaceful retirement.

“I grew up watching Jackie Chan movies with my dad,” one fan posted. “It’s the end of an era, but he deserves the rest. He’s a legend.”

Whether this news was meant to go public or not, it’s clear that Jackie Chan has left an indelible mark on global cinema — and perhaps now, it’s time he finally gets to relax without having to dodge punches or leap off buildings.
