Overseasidol.com — On the evening of June 21, veteran actor Steve Ma collapsed unexpectedly during a livestreamed performance, prompting the host to shout for an immediate broadcast cut.
The incident took place while Ma was performing live in Songcheng, Hangzhou, dressed in his iconic “Zhang Wuji” costume from The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
At around 8 PM, viewers noticed signs of fatigue as Ma’s facial expressions turned blank and his gaze unfocused.
Moments later, he stumbled and fell straight to the stage floor. Staff quickly rushed over to assess his condition.
According to a senior executive from the company co-managing Ma’s livestream operations, initial assessments suggest that Ma fainted due to low blood sugar.
Fortunately, his condition has since stabilized and is no longer a cause for concern.
Ma’s own studio, Tianxin Brothers Studio, also released a statement confirming that the actor is now doing fine and thanked fans for their concern.
The dramatic collapse has drawn significant public attention, with many expressing concern over the intensity of livestream performances and the health risks they may pose to veteran entertainers.
