Jackie Chan clears air on online death hoax

New York, June 26: While Jackie Chan was in India to celebrate the Chinese Film Festival, he became the victim of online death hoax.

The 59-year-old star took to his Facebook to address the rumours on June 21.

"Hi everybody! Yesterday, I got on a 3am flight from India to Beijing. I didnt get a chance to sleep and even had to clean my house when I got home. Today, everybody called to congratulate me on my rumored engagement. Afterward, everybody called me to see if I was alive," Chan wrote.

"If I died, I would probably tell the world! I took a photo with todays date, just in case you dont believe me! However, thank you all for your concern. Kiss kiss and love you all!" said the actor while indicating the date on the morning newspaper.

The Rush Hour star made a two day trip to India recently to attend the inaugural China Film Festival which opened with Chan-directed The Chinese Zodiac.
