SINGAPORE : Chinese action star Jet Li has taken up
Singapore citizenship and bought a property in the city state worth
nearly S$20 million (US$14 million), according to a report.
The Business Times did not say when the Beijing-born star took up
his new nationality or bought the upmarket property. It did not
give its source.
Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) would not
confirm the newspaper report when contacted by AFP for reasons of
confidentiality.
A Beijing-based staff member at Li's One Foundation contacted by
AFP declined comment.
Li is the latest Chinese star to have taken up Singapore
citizenship, following in the footsteps of leading actress Gong Li,
who shot to fame with her roles in "Farewell My Concubine" and
later "Memoirs of a Geisha."
Gong Li, who is not related to Jet Li, became a Singapore citizen
last year.
