Jet Li shares his perspective on death, reveals why he doesn't attend funerals
Action star Jet Li is choosing to live life to the fullest rather than dwelling on the fear of death. Photo: Jet Li/Weibo Action superstar Jet Li recently opened up about his perspective on death and the reason he chooses not to attend funerals. In an interview with Chinese magazine Sanlian Lifeweek , Li, 62, shared that he has come to terms with the impermanence of life, viewing it as a natural and inevitable part of the human experience. When asked if he ever felt sorrow or regret after losing a loved one, the reclusive actor – who has been plagued by rumours of death for years – replied: 'Why should we feel sad or regretful? I believe such emotions only exist for avatars trapped in a game.' Li went on to elaborate, adding that in many dramas, characters often express regret over not meeting someone for the last time or failing to fulfill their final wishes before death. He also spoke about the reason he doesn't attend funerals, saying: 'When people around me pass away, others may be used to mourning, but I personally don't attend funerals.' The Expendables star added: 'Some say I'm heartless or have no feelings, but I always tell them no one gets through life without losing a loved one.' On the subject of life and death, Li revealed that his youngest daughter Jada, 22, battled depression at the age of 19 and even grappled with suicidal thoughts. After her recovery, Li and Jada sat down for an open conversation about afterlife arrangements – a topic neither of them viewed as taboo. 'We were very honest about it because (death) is inevitable,' he shared. Li also encouraged everyone to live life to the fullest and treasure each moment, rather than dwelling on the fear of death. 'If I know I'm going to die, should I spend every day worrying about it, or should I cherish each moment? I believe living each day to the fullest is far more important,' he said.

Hollywood star Glen Powell , who will portray the protagonist Ben Richards in the upcoming dystopian black comedy action film 'The Running Man', shared that his mom, Cyndy, is not pleased with what this role entails, reported People. The film chronicles the character's participation in a game show where "runner" contestants must escape death from professional killers to win a giant cash prize. The story was previously adapted for the screen in 1987, with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the starring role. While audiences are excited for an action-packed thriller, Powell confessed that his mom is worried about his role in the film. "I'm getting to do some really cool stuff," he said, adding, "That really worries my mom." Powell shared that there is in fact "a lot of running" in the movie, he admitted thinking to himself after landing the role, "'Man, I'm gonna get my ass kicked for two hours in this movie.' " "You have a guy that's basically on the run, at the highest stakes game show of all time, where the survival rate is zero, and he's trying to beat the odds," said Powell, adding, "It's a great underdog story," reported People. Powell shared that Schwarzenegger had given him his blessing. "His son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, is a great friend of mine, and I asked Patrick if I could talk to Arnold, and I hadn't seen Arnold since we shot Expendables in Bulgaria," Powell said. "Arnold gave us his full blessing, and we get to give Arnold a very specific fun gift from the movie in a couple of weeks here. So I'm very excited to see him," added the actor. Schwarzenegger even appeared in a brief cameo in the recently released trailer. The film also features Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo , Lee Pace, William H. Macy, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera and Katy O'Brian. Edgar Wright directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Bacall , according to People. " In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television -- a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward," as per the official synopsis. "Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Powel) is convinced by the show's charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort," it continued. "But Ben's defiance, instincts and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favourite -- and a threat to the entire system," reported People. 'The Running Man' will be released in theatres on November 7.

Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals what ended Sylvester Stallone feud
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Arnold Schwarzenegger 'hated' Sylvester Stallone until they went into business together. The action stars had animosity towards one another at the height of their success in the 1980s and 90s but when the Fubar actor was launching his Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, he was approached and asked if his rival could be part of the venture, and he realised it was t i m e t o end the 'crazin e s s ' between them. Speaking to Andy Cohen on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, Arnold, 77, admitted: 'We hated each other. 'We were kind of attacking each other and doing nasty things and saying nasty things about each other and all these stupid things. 'All of a sudden, I started working with Robert Earl and Keith Parish to create the Planet Hollywood franchise, those restaurants. 'The next thing I know is I get a phone call from my lawyer, who was also Sly's lawyer, he said, 'Arnold, is there any kind of room for Sly in Planet Hollywood?' ' The Terminator actor recalled thinking: 'That's actually a good idea, because it could bring us together. And I wanted that. At that point I had grown out of my craziness.' The restaurant chain launched in 1991 in New York City with the backing of the future Expendables co-stars and other famous faces, and Arnold is proud of how they 'made it work'. He added: 'Sure enough, we made it work. 'And Bruce Willis became part of Planet Hollywood, Whoopi Goldberg became part of Planet Hollywood, Chuck Norris… It really was kind of an international cast.' Arnold and Sylvester, 77, are now friends and recently reflected on how their rivalry was 'very helpful' to both their careers.
