Jeff Bridges has provided a candid update on his health nearly five years after being diagnosed with cancer, letting fans and the public know how he is feeling now. The 75-year-old Oscar-winning actor was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in October 2020, when doctors discovered a large 9-by-12-inch tumor in his body. After a year of treatment, Jeff Bridges announced he was in remission, bringing hope to many following his journey.
In a recent interview published on May 9, Jeff Bridges revealed, “I’m feeling good,” offering a sense of optimism following his health struggles. While battling cancer, Jeff Bridges also contracted COVID-19, an experience he described as being rougher than the cancer itself, emphasizing the tough period he endured. Reflecting on lingering effects, he admitted,
“Some things it’s hard to tell if it’s the cancer and the COVID or if it’s just old age,”
and shared that he still “can’t smell.”
Throughout his recovery, Jeff Bridges credited his wife, Susan Geston, for unwavering support. He expressed gratitude by sharing,
“My wife laughs at me. She says, ‘I haven’t showered in days. You can’t smell?’ Some positive sides to it, I suppose. Although I don’t mind her smell.”
This update on Jeff Bridges highlights both the challenges and resilience he has shown during his health journey. As he prepares to appear in the film TRON: Ares, opening October 10, his honest reflections provide hope to those facing similar battles, signaling a renewed chapter in his life and career.
