About 30 minutes ago, a massive landslide hit a remote village in northern India, killing at least four people and leaving many others missing. The tragedy occurred when heavy rains that lasted for several days caused the landslide to bury the entire area in just minutes. The event immediately attracted the attention of the global media, not only because of the severity of the disaster but also because a famous name was unexpectedly dragged into the rumor: Jackie Chan.
In the first minutes after the news spread, social media exploded with a series of posts, videos and comments claiming that legendary actor Jackie Chan was one of the victims. Unofficial news sites even quoted a fake statement from his wife, actress Joan Lin, as if confirming that he had died while filming a film project in the area where the landslide occurred.
However, this rumor was completely false.
According to verification from reputable press agencies and Jackie Chan’s official representative, he is still completely healthy and safe. His spokesperson has clarified: “Jackie Chan was not in India at the time of the landslide. He is currently working on a film set in Hong Kong. All information about his death is baseless and causing public panic.”
Immediately after that, Jackie Chan himself also posted a short video on social media to reassure fans. In the video, he smiled and said: “I’m fine! Thank you everyone for your concern, don’t believe in fake news!”
The incident is a strong reminder of the dangers of false rumors in the digital age. The spread of unverified information not only hurts the people involved but also seriously affects the psychology of millions of fans around the world.
Meanwhile, at the scene of the landslide, rescue work is still being carried out urgently. Indian officials have urged the international community to focus on the real victims of the disaster, rather than being swept away by false information.
Once again, it can be said: Jackie Chan is safe and well. He had nothing to do with the landslide in India, and the reports of his death are just fake news being hyped up on social media.
