A recent social media post featuring Jackie Chan on a hospital bed that claimed that the actor was dead caused some panic among the superstar's fans around the world. The post even claimed that Chan's family confirmed his death, but numerous reports contradict the same. It turns out that the post is a death hoax about the action hero. This is not really the first and only time a fake death news about Jackie Chan went viral on the internet. The actor brought many such incidents to the public's notice, reassuring his fans of his health and wellbeing. However, he is yet to respond to the latest news through social media. Meanwhile, the fake news has made fans respond critically against unfair use of social media.

On the film front, Chan has many projects at various phases of development, including New Police Story 2, Five Against a Bullet, and Project P. It is also speculated that the actor is working on a fourth instalment in the Rush Hour franchise.
