Jeff Bridges’ HEALTH UPDATE Will Shock You

by

It’s always heartening to receive good news about someone who has bravely shared their personal health struggles, especially those related to cancer. Actor Jeff Bridges, who won an Academy Award, revealed five years ago that he had lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. He also shared, four years ago, that he was in remission. Now, his supporters who have followed his journey closely will be delighted to hear that the actor, known for playing Iron Man, stated in a recent interview with PEOPLE on May 9, that he is doing “very well.

He stated he was feeling well, but admitted that after dealing with COVID-19 during his chemotherapy, he’s been experiencing some health troubles. It’s unclear if these problems are due to the cancer, the virus, or just a sign of aging. At 75 years old, he also mentioned that his memory occasionally gives him trouble, but attributes it to long-term COVID effects. Jokingly, Bridges added that one advantage is that he can no longer smell, as his wife humorously teases him about this, saying “I haven’t showered in days. You can’t smell?” Despite this, he finds some silver linings, although he admittedly doesn’t mind his wife’s scent.

In 2020, the actor initially announced his lymphoma diagnosis via a post on X (previously known as Twitter). His tweet said: “Although it’s a severe condition, I consider myself fortunate due to my excellent team of doctors and the positive outlook. I am commencing treatment and will keep you all informed about my recovery.” True to his word, in 2021, the actor from the 1976 movie “King Kong” updated his followers on his progress. He posted on a certain website that his 9×12 cm tumor had reduced to the size of a marble.

Despite his health struggles, the actor has managed to keep working and will appear in the upcoming “Tron: Ares” (2025), a standalone sequel to “Tron: Legacy” (2010). This film is the third installment of the science fiction series. Currently in post-production, it’s set to release on October 10, 2025. Jeff Bridges will reprise his role as Kevin Flynn, a former ENCOM employee who now owns an arcade called Flynn’s and created the hacking program CLU. Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, and others are among the cast members joining Bridges in this film.

Bridges Starred In the Drama Thriller ‘The Old Man’ That Premiered In 2022

A year following my hero’s announcement that he was in remission, his gripping drama-thriller, titled “The Old Man,” debuted on FX. In this captivating series, I found myself drawn to the character portrayed by none other than John Wayne Bridges – a former CIA operative and Vietnam war veteran named Dan Chase, who was in Afghanistan three decades ago. After taking matters into his own hands when an intruder broke into his home, resulting in the intruder’s death, Chase went into hiding.

Recently, he found himself in need of a place to stay and ended up renting a room from Zoe McDonald. An unexpected partnership was forged between them as they navigated their dangerous journey on the run together. A talented ensemble cast, including John Lithgow, E. J. Bonilla, Bill Heck, Leem Lubany, and others, joined Bridges in bringing this thrilling story to life.

Across its two seasons and 15 episodes, “The Old Man” left viewers on the edge of their seats, with the first season earning an impressive 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
