Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan recently shared that he has recorded a farewell song, which will be made public after his death.
The 71-year-old disclosed this information at a movie premiere in Beijing, adding that he has been reflecting on life, ageing and mortality in recent years.
"I often wonder about how I might go … Maybe I could pull off a dangerous stunt, die and become a legend," he joked.
Chan said that losing many relatives and close friends over the past few years has further prompted these reflections.
However, he maintains a positive outlook on ageing.
"People will grow old eventually, and it’s a joy to age gradually. We old people are really lucky," he added.
According to Singapore news portal 8days, Chan has mourned the loss of several close friends over the past two years.
Among them included martial arts stars Cheng Pei Pei and Corey Yuen, Taiwanese songwriter Liu Chia Chang, Hong Kong actress Li Lili and food critic Chua Lam.
Recent reports indicate that Chan has been making efforts to reconnect with his estranged daughter Etta Ng Chok Lam, who was born out of wedlock.
Ng also disclosed on a livestream that Chan has been looking at the posters she has made lately.
