It’s nothing life-threatening and he’s dealing with it,” Chasman told the Washington Post, adding that he has spoken with Li’s assistant.Diagnosed with an overactive thyroid in 2010, Li has previously spoken about his condition, saying in 2013 that he was uncertain if he could continue working but was determined to, according to the Associated Press.  “I’m in pain, but I’m not suffering. I’m happy,” he said, adding that he took medication.Li, perhaps cognizant of the larger-than-life image he has cultivated through his many movie roles, said that in fighting the illness he was “just a regular guy.”“I’m not Wong Fei-hung, I’m not Huo Yuanjia. I’m not a hero,” he said. “I’m just like you.”The SCMP reported he has also spoken about leg and spinal problems from decades of stunts and injuries from his films.Last year, the Beijing-born actor said during a dinner for his charity, One Foundation, that his illness kept returning, according to the SCMP.According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, hyperthyroidism occurs when:The thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormones than your body needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way the body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats. If left untreated, hyperthyroidism can cause serious problems with the heart, bones, muscles, menstrual cycle, and fertility. About one out of 100 people in the United States have hyperthyroidism, the agency says.Li was a national wushu champion before becoming a martial arts actor, starring as martial arts folk hero Wong Fei-hung in the “Once Upon a Time in China” series and other Hong Kong martial arts movies before branching out to make American and European productions such as “Romeo Must Die,” “The Expendables” and “Kiss of the Dragon.” He would continue to work with Chinese directors, such as Zhang Yimou in “Hero.”<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/05/21/a-photo-has-jet-li-fans-worried-about-this-health-again/?utm_term=.b09b62500f75" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/05/21/a-photo-has-jet-li-fans-worried-about-this-health-again/?utm_term=.b09b62500f75</a></blockquote>
