As previously mentioned, Jet Li made a return to Hollywood with the 2020 live-action remake of "Mulan," which stars Liu Yifei in the title role. Li portrays the wise Emperor in the beloved Disney film. So, what motivated the actor to get involved with the movie after a four-year-long hiatus? It turns out his daughters insisted he should embody the character because they were huge fans of the original film.

In an interview for Shin Min Daily News (via Yahoo! Life), Li detailed the conversation he had with his then-15-year-old daughter. "She asked me if I am proud to promote Chinese culture to the world," said Li, who had previously turned down the role due to a disagreement regarding pay and the movie's script. Besides these two discouraging factors, Li was also worried about lines that he had to recite in English. Luckily, the actor's dialogue coach helped him through the difficult process.

When news of Li's involvement in "Mulan" gained fans' attention, the star's well-being was brought into question once again. This time Li decided to put an end to the speculation himself. The actor told USA Today that contrary to popular belief, he is in relatively good health. He continued, "But people want to make an excuse, saying, 'Why doesn't he make a movie, because he has a problem?' OK, fine, that's what you think, I'm still good."
