🎉On this wonderful day, We wish you a very #happybirthday 🎂to a Chinese actor & Martial artist Jet Li🥳.

- When he competed against adults in Wushu competitions, he won 15 gold medals and one silver medal.
- Li claims that President Richard Nixon offered him a job as a bodyguard, but he turned it down because he didn’t want to protect a single person, but rather the 1 billion Chinese people.
- He works with an English tutor for four hours a day to improve his language skills.
- A public relations firm chose the name “Li” for him because he’s given name was deemed difficult to pronounce.
- When offered a role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Jet Li declined since his wife was expecting their first child, and he had promised not to work while she was pregnant.
- In 2004, a tsunami struck the Maldives, and he was swept away. However, with the help of his daughter and nanny, they were able to get out of the situation unscathed.
- During the filming of Romeo Must Die, he had some rib injuries.
- In 2009, he established his own workout program called “Wuji.” Yoga, pilates, and martial arts are all incorporated into the workout. As part of this campaign, Adidas has created a ‘JL’-branded clothing line for the athletes.

- The One Foundation, of which he is the founder, provides disaster relief, support for small charities, and assistance to children in need, as well as training for those in the field of social work.
