Hong Kong actor and martial artist Michael Chan Wai Man has sparked health concern among fans after a video showing him unsteady on his feet surfaced online.

In the footage, the 82-year-old is seen relying on a walking stick and receiving support from a companion as he makes his way towards a parked car.

Netizens also noted that he appeared noticeably slimmer, with many taking to social media to wish him well.

According to Hong Kong media reports, Chan, known for portraying triad figures on screen, has faced several health challenges in recent years.

In 2020, the Chasing The Dragon (2017) star suffered a stroke and was diagnosed with lung cancer.

He was also diagnosed with brain cancer a year later, requiring long-term treatment.

In 2024, Chan underwent surgery for a hip problem, which further affected his mobility.

Earlier in August, he released a video to reassure fans about his health, describing his condition as “average” and identifying his legs as his main concern.
