He only caught the occasional flu from the crew. He stressed that his health was great. He only had a little airway sensitivity, but his wife dragged him to see his doctor. He said, "I have such a thick martial art background, how can I 'fall' so easily!" However he admitted that in the last two years he has been to busy with movies and overlooked his family. He will rest for half a year to make up to them.
