With a large tumor within his body, the 74-year-old actor talked about filming the first season of FX’s “The Old Man” during the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour on Wednesday.
According to news, Bridges declared at a panel, “I’m feeling great now.” “What is so strange, at least to me, is that I had a 9-by-12-inch tumor in my stomach during the first season when I was filming these combat sequences, and it didn’t hurt at all. I find that surprising.
When Bridges was taking a break from filming the thriller in 2020 due to the COVID-19 epidemic, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
It was during one of his regular workouts that he first realized something wasn’t quite right.
I felt something that seemed like a bone in my stomach as I was performing some exercises on the ground. “Hmm,” I thought to myself. But there was no pain or anything. I wanted to know [wife] Sue’s opinion. “I don’t know, but you need to get it checked out,” she remarked. In 2023, Bridges stated in an interview with magazine.
