Jeff Bridges Health Update: Actor's Current Condition After Cancer Remission Revealed
Jeff Bridges has been cancer-free for months now, and it appears that he's looking great as he was recently spotted walking with his wife and their pet dog in California.
According to Hollywood Life, the 72-year-old actor is in good spirits as he recently went for a hike in Santa Barbara.
The Academy Award-winning actor looked casual as he wore a knitted navy blue cardigan, sweatpants, and a pair of sandals. During the outing, he was with his wife, Susan Geston, and their dog.
Bridges' recent sighting comes a few months after he shared the good news on his website, saying his lymphoma diagnosis was in remission.
He noted how a lot of things happened since his last installment as his previous 9" x 12" mass had shrunk "to the size of marble."
However, at the time when he revealed to the world that he was cancer-free, he also shared that he was battlingx COVID-19, saying, "it kicked my ass pretty good."
The actor had been vaccinated and felt much better after the diagnosis.
"I heard that the vaccine can keep folks with long haulers. Maybe that's the cause of my quick improvement," he added.
In October 2020, the actor shocked his fans upon announcing his lymphoma diagnosis online by referencing his character from "The Big Lebowski."
"Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good," he added.
The actor issued a statement through his representative, Jean Sievers, saying he's thankful for the prayers and well wishes he received.
Bridges also reminded his fans to vote.
At the time of his diagnosis, the actor was filming the action-drama series for FX on Hulu titled "The Old Man," where he serves as the lead actor and executive producer.
Hulu, FX, Touchstone Television, and FXP issued a statement saying they supported the actor throughout his recovery.
A few months after, he shared an update regarding his treatment on his social media and website, saying he's determined to fight cancer because of his daughter, Hayley Roselouise Bridges.
The actor's goal is to walk his daughter down the aisle and do the traditional father-daughter dance without the assistance of nurses.
