Stars in the entertainment industry are often glamorous, and they can easily reach heights that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and enjoy fame and money.

But what many people don’t know is that out of the spotlight, they are also ordinary people, with emotions and desires, birth, old age, illness and death.

Among them, some celebrities suffer from illnesses all year round. Some suffer from "immortal cancer ", while others age ten years overnight.

Today, let us take a look at the artists in the entertainment industry who suffer from chronic diseases.

1, Jay Chou - ankylosing spondylitis

Jay Chou's status goes without saying. He has been firmly on the throne of the Chinese music scene for more than 20 years since his debut. Even though no new works have been released for a long time, his popularity has not diminished.

But behind the scenes, he has been troubled by ankylosing spondylitis.

His disease was not caused by overwork or other external forces, but came from family inheritance.

His illness was first discovered when he was a student. Every time he finished playing basketball, he could not lie down flat.

Later, his family arranged for him to go to the hospital for a series of examinations. After the doctor's diagnosis, he was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis.

According to the current medical level, there is no cure for this disease, so it has always been called an "immortal cancer". The worst result may lead to lifelong paralysis.

If you take medicine for a long time and receive regular treatment, the symptoms can still be relieved to a great extent, and you can almost achieve a "disease-free" state.

But Jay Chou's reversal of day and night work habits and overworked work schedule have caused his body to turn on a red light, so that every time he gets sick, he is in excruciating pain.

His friend Liu Genghong once revealed Jay Chou's condition in an interview. He bluntly said that once he gets sick, he can only sleep sitting up, because as long as he lies down, he will experience excruciating pain.

Even the short distance of a few meters from the bedside to the door requires stopping and taking ten minutes to reach the door.

Moreover, most of the medicines used to treat ankylosing spondylitis contain heavy chemical substances, and taking too much will have a considerable impact on the body.

Jay Chou, who once had abdominal muscles, changed from an L to an XXL under the influence of drugs. He gained serious weight and suffered from stomach problems. He could only rely on diet.

Today, Jay Chou has been fighting pain for more than 20 years. Fortunately, he has not had any major physical problems. I hope he can continue to do so in the future.

2, Jet Li - hyperthyroidism

As a man who conquered Hollywood , Jet Li's life is legendary.

Since entering the entertainment industry in 1982, he has contributed countless classic works, such as "Shaolin Temple", "" and "Once Upon a Time", which made him famous and wealthy.

But behind the flowers and applause, Jet Li also suffers from body ailments that are unbearable for ordinary people.

As a martial arts star, difficult fighting scenes are essential.

At this time, Jet Li will always show his professional side. No matter how dangerous the scene is, he insists on going into battle himself and rarely uses a substitute.

Because of this, injuries became a common occurrence for him. None of his spine, lumbar spine, legs, and arms were intact.

Therefore, Jet Li suffered from a lot of problems at a young age, and these hidden diseases did not appear until he got older.

After 2016, Jet Li gradually reduced his work arrangements.

According to insiders, the reason why he decided to withdraw from the entertainment industry was because he suffered from "hyperthyroidism".

Although "hyperthyroidism" is not an incurable disease, Jet Li had no choice but to work too hard in his early years and had overdrafted his own health. Therefore, in the face of such a relatively common disease, this once tough guy seemed to be unable to cope with it. He aged ten years in an instant.

This can also be seen in the photos exposed by netizens.

Jet Li's hair was sparse, and the few remaining hairs were gray. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were haggard. He was far from his high-spirited appearance before.

Today, Jet Li has been taking good care of his body and maintaining a good routine. His health will surely get better gradually. I hope he can spend a happy old age.

3, Angela Chang - Heart disease

In 2018, Angela Chang became famous again with the song " A Diao ", and her experience has once again become the talk of countless people after dinner.

Angela Chang entered the entertainment industry in 2001. Two years later, she gained popularity for starring in " Dolphin Bay Lovers ". The subsequent "Aurora" and "Invisible Wings" brought her to the peak of popularity.

At this time, Angela Chang was the darling of God, with unlimited glory. However, what many people did not expect was that the fierce battle between Angela Chang and her mother not only ruined her future, but also revealed an unknown illness.

It turns out that Angela Chang's health has not been very good since she was a child, and she also suffered from a serious heart disease. In 2008, her heart disease recurred due to overwork, and she had to be sent to the hospital for recuperation.

However, her mother took advantage of her daughter's serious illness to first transfer all her property to her own name, and then sent photos of her daughter during her illness to the media.

Because of this, Angela Chang’s heart disease was made public.

It can be seen from the picture that the sick Angela Chang is in a very bad condition. Her skin is dull and dull, and her eyes have no energy at all. She looks depressed and depressed, which is very heartbreaking.

Angela Chang, who was penniless, asked her mother for treatment fees, but she was rejected. Her mother even revealed that she smoked D.

She had no choice but to seek help from her friends and finally got over the difficulty.

Angela Chang always looks melancholy every time she mentions this painful experience.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Angela Chang decisively broke away from her original family and sought liberation in life.

Today, Angela Chang's heart disease has not recurred for a long time, her career has returned to its peak, and she has become that tough and powerful girl again.

4, Feng Xiaogang - vitiligo

As a top domestic director, Feng Xiaogang has a well-known name. In the eyes of outsiders, he makes a lot of money, and nothing seems to be enough to worry him.

Even such a great director who is "proud of horseshoe disease" still suffers from illness.

Feng Xiaogang suffers from vitiligo. The symptoms of this disease are relatively obvious and usually appear on the skin.

In order to cover up his illness, Feng Xiaogang put on makeup every time he appeared, trying to cover up his dissatisfaction with thick foundation, but the paper could not cover up the fire. As long as he relaxed a little, his chronic illness had nowhere to hide.

In the pictures, Feng Xiaogang often has large, irregular white patches on his face. Sometimes similar symptoms can also be seen on his hands, which can be said to be quite serious.

At present, although "vitiligo" cannot be cured, it can be treated with medication.

But because Feng Xiaogang was busy with his career and neglected to treat the disease, he missed the golden treatment period.

In addition, as he gets older and older, his immunity also decreases year by year, so "vitiligo" becomes more rampant.

Therefore, no matter how much money is spent, Feng Xiaogang's disease cannot be completely cured.

"Vitiligo" also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is hereditary.

For the sake of the health of future generations, Feng Xiaogang discussed with Xu Fan and immediately decided to use adoption instead of childbirth.

Nowadays, Feng Xiaogang is 64 years old. Apart from those frightening white spots, there are no other serious complications . This shows that he has put in a lot of effort in daily maintenance. I hope he can suffer less in his later years. .

5, Nicholas Tse - asthma

Nicholas Tse was born in Hong Kong in 1980.

When he was 15 years old, he released his first single "estimation error" and officially entered the music scene.

Subsequently, he starred in "Young and Dangerous: Teenage Fight" and " Half a Cigarette ", both of which achieved very good results, and his popularity also increased.

In front of the camera, Nicholas Tse is a rebellious boy, but what many viewers don't know is that he actually suffers from severe asthma.

The symptoms of asthma include fever, runny nose, cough, difficulty breathing, etc.

This disease is very stubborn, with almost no cure possible, and is closely related to the environment, mood, and work and rest.

Therefore, there is no fixed time and pattern for the onset of asthma, and it is often caught off guard.

Therefore, every time Nicholas Tse appears in the public eye, he always carries asthma treatment spray in his bag in case of emergency.

Even though Nicholas Tse has been controlled through medication, as an artist, he often needs to travel around the world, and his daily routine and weather cannot be guaranteed, so he still suffers a lot.

For example, in 2001, Nicholas Tse held a concert in Japan. Unexpectedly, due to the acclimatization and cold weather, his condition became more serious and caused difficulty in breathing.

Fortunately, the staff provided Nicholas Tse with timely acupuncture, and he saved his life.

There are many other things like this. When I was filming "Jade Guanyin" in Kunming, I had symptoms of the disease; in 2008, when I was recording the Anhui Spring Festival Gala, I fell ill again due to a cold wave.

And after becoming a parent, Nicholas Tse could not help but have concerns. Facing the camera, he once worriedly expressed that what he was most afraid of was passing it on to his children.

However, as the two children grow older, there are no major physical problems. It seems that they have not inherited bad genes. I think Nicholas Tse can relax a little.

Apart from asthma, Nicholas Tse also suffers from severe rheumatism.

Because he worked too hard during filming in his early years, Nicholas Tse suffered a lot of sequelae, so much so that he contracted rheumatism at the age of 29.

As he gets older, Nicholas Tse's health is getting worse day by day. Now he needs help when he gets up. This shows that he suffers a lot outside the camera.

6, Yang Yang - cough disease

In 2007, Yang Yang rose to prominence by starring in " Dream of Red Mansions ". But after working hard in the entertainment industry for several years, it has always been tepid.

In order to improve his reputation and enhance his presence, Yang Yang participated in the variety show "Star Soldiers Report". It was precisely because of this show that Yang Yang suffered from a lifelong cough.

During the recording of the show, there was a task where four guests were locked in a cave with smoke bombs carrying poisonous gas.

As long as he persists in it for 10 minutes, even if the mission is successful, there are only three gas masks for the four guests.

actor Zhang Ningjiang originally did not wear a gas mask, but because he is naturally sensitive to smoke, he started coughing violently within two minutes and breathing became a problem.

Yang Yang, who was closest to him, saw their painful looks, took off the mask and put it directly on his head.

As a result, Yang Yang's life safety is no longer guaranteed.

Without wearing a gas mask, Yang Yang persisted for 10 minutes. When the instructor dragged him out, Yang Yang was already paralyzed and had no strength to even walk.

Moreover, due to inhaling a large amount of toxic smoke, Yang Yang's entire face was bruised and he could not open his mouth to speak. At the same time, he was also accompanied by severe coughing, convulsions, vomiting and tears.

Although the instructor gave him emergency treatment immediately, the damage caused by the poisonous gas to Yang Yang was irreversible.

So after this thrilling experience, Yang Yang suffered from a permanent cough.

Cough disease cannot be cured. If you want to reduce the frequency of attacks, you can only take good care of yourself and try not to irritate your throat on weekdays.

Nowadays, although Yang Yang cannot completely stay away from coughing, fortunately, he rarely gets sick, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

7, Jackie Chan - Permanent trauma to the right ear eardrum

Like Jet Li, as the big brother of kung fu superstars, Jackie Chan's body was also tortured to the point of illness due to work, and no part of his body was intact.

Although Jackie Chan is prosperous now, when he first debuted, he was just a little transparent.

His success depends on the word "pin".

As long as there is a chance to go on stage, Jackie Chan will fight to the end and never want to be a substitute. No matter how dangerous or difficult the action is, he will do it himself.

After decades of fighting in the film industry, Jackie Chan has been suffering from constant injuries, including a dislocated right shoulder, a cracked mouth, and a serious injury to his tibia. It can be said that he is risking his life.

If Jackie Chan was still relatively young and in good physical condition at that time, these serious injuries in front of him would not be life-threatening.

But as he grows older, Jackie Chan's life-threatening filming methods have landed him in jail many times and caused lifelong illnesses.

For example, when filming "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" in 1985, there was a scene that required him to jump from a tall building to a tree 3 meters away.

Logically speaking, Jackie Chan, who has already become famous, could have used Wia or a body double, but in order to look more real, Jackie Chan gave up all safety devices and started filming with a physical body.

But unexpectedly, Jackie Chan fell from a height of 15 meters because he failed to grasp the tree firmly when he jumped over.

Jackie Chan was not only bruised and swollen by the fall, but also caused permanent trauma to the eardrum of his right ear, leaving only 20% of his hearing, which is basically equivalent to deafness.

Although Jackie Chan's family is extremely wealthy, he has been unable to cure this stubborn disease, which really makes people feel sad.

Perhaps many people have a deep prejudice against entertainment stars, but reaching the top of any industry cannot rely solely on appearance. The success achieved by

through overdraft of health is still worthy of our respect. We hope that they can all spend their old age safely and healthily without being tortured by illness.
