In a quiet revelation that’s causing a stir among fans around the world, Jackie Chan’s daughter, Etta Ng, has reportedly confirmed that the beloved martial arts legend has officially retired, and health issues may be the main reason behind his decision.

Rumors about Jackie’s departure have circulated for years, especially as his on-screen appearances have become more sporadic. But fans always hoped he would make a strong comeback—literally. However, in a recent one-on-one conversation with close friends—excerpts of which have surfaced online—Etta Ng reportedly shared that her father’s health has been “steadily deteriorating” and that he has decided to prioritize rest and family.

“His body isn’t what it used to be,” he reportedly said. “He doesn’t want to push it anymore. Now he wants to enjoy life.”

Jackie, who turned 70 in April 2024, has spent more than 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 fractures to spinal cord injuries, he has always bounced back. Until now.

Although there has been no official statement from Chan himself, fans are taking the news seriously, expressing sadness and support. Social media has been flooded with thank-you posts, tribute videos, 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 to rest. He’s a legend.”

Regardless of whether this news was ever made public, it’s clear that Jackie Chan has left an indelible mark on world cinema, and perhaps now is the time for him to finally relax without having to dodge punches or jump off buildings.
