Viral social media posts falsely claimed Jackie Chan had died, using a memorial-style image marked “1954–2026”; one post reportedly drew more than 3.8 million views in five hours. The claims were debunked: Chan is alive and remains active in film projects. His recent public appearance was a July visit to a Singapore school, where he met with students and staff. Another report said Chan had been filming the fourth installment of an action-adventure franchise in Azerbaijan and attended an action-film event in China in August.
