Jeff Bridges has been a staple in Hollywood for decades. But the last two years have been tough for the veteran actor. While many knew he was struggling with his health…
Not many might have known just how serious his condition was…
It is no secret that Jeff Bridges was diagnosed with cancer and recently went into remission. The actor publicly revealed his cancer diagnosis in October 2020 and was immediately inundated with well wishes and prayers from fans around the world.
He tweeted to let his fans know, saying, “Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good.”
He kept his fans updated about his life as he fought cancer. In December 2020, after celebrating his 71st birthday the actor tweeted that he has been “feeling good.”
While he had been getting treatment for his cancer, the actor also tested positive for Covid-19. His wife Susan Geston also tested positive.
Having to fight off the virus as well as get treatment for cancer at an advanced age takes a huge toll on the body. And while he kept a brave front for his fans so as not to worry anyone, the actor was suffering.
Now, in January 2022 as the actor has made his comeback into Hollywood and is healthy again he has opened up about the struggles he has gone through in the last two years.
