    Apparently has some medical conditions. Some people get luckier than others. Pat Summit is a good example.

    Unfortunately, yes, it happens even to my favorite martial artist Jackie Chan.

    I don't think it would be unbelievable if he were older than 55 but I don't know

    He was. I watched the movie in theater in China before it came to the states.

    Too bad we won't see him doing the same stunts he did in his prime. He is truly a bad ass!

    It's crazy what health issues can do.

    My dad went from a pretty young looking guy for his early 60s, to currently looking like he's 85 after lung cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. It aged him almost over night. He's 68 now and he's tiny, he's brittle, and he looks 20 years older than he should.

    True. Some people age very well...look years younger than they are for ages. Some people age the opposite. Damn genetics.

    Jackie did his own stunts and it's expected for him to carry those injuries into his aging body.
