Jackie Chan Opens Xiaohongshu, Playfully Reveals He Has ADHD

71-year-old martial arts superstar Jackie Chan has opened a Xiaohongshu account. In his very first posted video, he asks himself, “How can I, someone with ADHD, concentrate?” openly sharing that he has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, commonly known as ADHD.

Many fans believe that Jackie Chan publicly disclosing his ADHD has a positive influence and helps increase society’s understanding and awareness of ADHD, showing that even an internationally renowned film superstar can face psychological and everyday life challenges. One netizen commented: “So even a kung fu superstar has the same troubles as us.”

With the rampant issue of fake accounts impersonating celebrities on social media, Jackie Chan made sure to emphasize “It really is me, Jackie Chan” in his first Xiaohongshu post. The video, themed “Jackie Chan's Newcomer Report”, shares his daily life, including workout scenes where he is constantly lifting dumbbells. Jokingly, he said: “(I) occasionally hit people too, don't be afraid, it's only on set—you might have seen me somewhere.”

He said he likes to travel around and experience different worlds, but also joked that interacting online with fans is like being a ‘newbie in the village’ for him. He turned to the camera, making all sorts of poses and cutely asked: “From which angle should I take a selfie to make my face look smaller?”
