Preamble:
Recently, as soon as the news of Jackie Chan's 70th birthday came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among many netizens. Originally, I thought that seventy years old was not a big deal, but when I heard that Jackie Chan was seventy years old, this news was still a bit difficult to accept. After all, in everyone's hearts, Jackie Chan is still the "living treasure" who can jump from more than a dozen floors and can rampage in the furniture city. And today's Jackie Chan, with gray hair and gray hair, looks old, the word "getting old" still makes people a little unacceptable.
1. Jackie Chan is 70 years old, with white hair and old age.
Some time ago, Jackie Chan appeared at an event, his white hair was unrecognizable, and he thought it was his grandfather, once this photo was exposed, it immediately aroused heated discussions among many netizens. Everyone said that this is the legendary "cliff-like aging", and you can still see the "post-care" in some of Jackie Chan's works before, which makes people feel that the seventy-year-old Jackie Chan is still full of energy and calm.
But I didn't expect that when I participated in the event, this "post-care" suddenly disappeared, and I was full of gray hair and looked haggard. However, some netizens maintain understanding of this matter, after all, it is not easy for a seventy-year-old person to maintain this state, and gray hair is also the norm, as long as you are healthy.
And the party Jackie Chan also posted on Weibo, responding positively to his aging problem, he said that he couldn't accept himself at the age of seventy, but deep down he still felt that being able to live a healthy life to the age of seventy was already a kind of happiness and a blessing, after all, what they did in this life was to risk their lives to film, and it was not easy to live a healthy life until now.
Second, the white-haired old man styled, filming the new movie "Strange Family".
As soon as the news about Jackie Chan's 70th birthday came out, netizens were most interested in his white-haired old man style at the event, which looked very old and did not conform to Jackie Chan's consistent image of "not accepting the old".
Being able to see an old man like Jackie Chan is still a little emotional, the previous Jackie Chan could fly the eaves and walk the wall in various movies, fight and kill, but now Jackie Chan has to adapt to such an old man role, which also reminds people of another old man in "Kung Fu", that is, Jet Li, and now Jet Li is already full of white hair, and there are no fighting scenes, it seems that this age is the word "old age" that cannot be escaped.
It is reported that this movie mainly tells the story of Jackie Chan's family, and in the play, Jackie Chan plays an old man with "Alzheimer's disease", such a role does test his acting skills, but judging from the photos exposed so far, Jackie Chan's excellent acting skills still make people have deep feelings.
3. "Cliff-like aging", action movies are going downhill.
In addition to the heated discussion because of the white-haired old man's style, the topic of "cliff-like aging" also made netizens think about Jackie Chan's recent situation, originally thought that the white-haired old man role was the "post-care" of the last movie, but I didn't expect that in an event, Jackie Chan showed people in his "original form", which made people understand that the original "post-care" was just for promotional photos.
Jackie Chan, who is becoming more and more "old", also reminds people of some previous movies, his heroic image in "Rush Hour", and his fearless image in "New Police Story", and today's Jackie Chan, no matter what kind of movie he is in, is inseparable from the word "old man". The role of the "old man", the "cliff-like aging", and the decline of action movies, this series of problems also makes people worry about Jackie Chan's future, after all, at this age, it is not easy to continue to shoot various movies.
In addition to worrying about Jackie Chan's future, the phenomenon of "cliff-like aging" also makes people think about the action movies of the entire entertainment industry, after all, in today's entertainment industry, who else can jump from a high place like Jackie Chan and still maintain a consistent "romance"? The King of Action", "Kung Fu Superstar", such titles, it seems that in today's entertainment industry, there is no successor, even Jet Li has "entered the retirement life", and "latecomers" like Donnie Yen and Zhang Jin are also inseparable from the word "old", and it seems to be a very difficult thing to inherit Jackie Chan's "halo".
"Postscript":
"Old companion", "white hair", "cliff-like aging", this seems to be the process that every good action actor will go through, and today's Jackie Chan is also in such a process.
No matter what kind of role or what kind of movie, I hope that Jackie Chan can always be "healthy and happy" and "happy in old age", and I also hope that he can continue to bring us more "wonderful" works in the future. "Legend of Immortality", "Descendant of the Dragon", "Eternal King of Action", and I also look forward to someone who can inherit the "indomitable" "Dragon Soul" on this stage and bring us "unprecedented" surprises.
