Jet Li has stated that his upcoming martial arts movie Fearless will be his last.
Speaking to students at Fudan University, the actor explained that his future projects would most likely be more philosophical, family-based affairs than the martial arts films for which he has made a name, reports newspaper Youth Daily.
He said that the change in focus stems from a greater interest in spiritual matters in the past few years, explaining that he decided "it wasn't enough to have a strong body, you had to have a strong soul."
While Li has nothing specific on the horizon, he has been approached with regard to over twenty Hollywood projects, intending to "shoot whichever one comes to fruition first." One possibility is a further collaboration with Luc Besson, writer of Li's Kiss of the Dragon, reports The Associated Press.
