Martial arts champion and film star Jet Li spoke out on Wednesday for the first time since a viral photo prompted alarm about his health earlier this week.

"I would like to thank all my fans who expressed concerns about my health," Li posted on Facebook along with a few photos of himself.

"I'm doing great and feeling great! I'm excited to share with you all a few projects I am working on in the near future. For now, thank you all for your concerns!"
