Hold onto your popcorn, folks! 🍿 Legendary action star Jackie Chan, 70, is defying time itself in his upcoming film ‘A Legend’ — a sequel to 2005’s ‘The Myth’ — thanks to cutting-edge AI technology that de-ages him to 27. Talk about a glow-up! 💫
In the movie, Chan reprises his role as archaeology whiz Professor Fang, who discovers a magical jade artifact (🔍✨) that sends him and his assistant spiraling back to the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–25 AD). Think martial arts meets Doctor Strange-level time travel — with Chan kicking butt across centuries!
At a recent Beijing press event, Chan joked about his real-life aging journey: \"I can’t turn back time, but AI lets me revisit my youth on screen. It’s wild!\" The actor, known for his death-defying stunts, seems thrilled to let tech handle this particular ‘reboot.’
This isn’t just nostalgia bait — it’s a bold step for cinema. AI’s role here raises questions: Will older actors soon play younger versions of themselves indefinitely? 🤔 One thing’s certain: Chan’s charm remains timeless.
