Jackie Chan is very much alive! appears at SIFF

Legendary actor Jackie Chan, who has been rumoured dead on various social media was spotted with Mike Tyson and Fan Bingbing as they walked the red carpet last at Shanghai International Film Festival.

Despite the rumour that he is dead...again, the 61 years old vetran actor is still very much alive.

Jackie Chan posed on the red carpet during the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival in Shanghai, China.


The festival offers cinema-goers the chance to see a number of American films that were never imported into theaters in China, which restricts the number of foreign films that can enter the market each year. Among some of the U.S. films screening are “Whiplash” and “Birdman.” Former boxer Mike Tyson is attending the festival not because he has an American film in the festival but because he has a guest part in the upcoming Chinese movie “Ip Man 3.” DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg also attended the event.

This year, the Shanghai fest will offer fans the chance to see all six films in the “Star Wars” series, a first for the mainland. “Jackie Chan Action Movie Week” is expected to draw a number of international filmmakers, including Renny Harlin and Brett Ratner for a series of forums and screenings that organizers said “will leverage the prestige of Jackie Chan in the world of action movies, highlight Chinese culture reflected in action movies, and pool together worldwide resources in support of the globalization of Chinese films and culture.”
