Jeff Bridges, the beloved star of “The Old Man,” has faced tremendous challenges in recent times. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2020, Bridges was already undergoing chemotherapy when he contracted COVID-19. The 73-year-old actor candidly shared his experience and compared the impact of the two illnesses.
Recalling his battle, Bridges revealed that receiving a letter from the chemo place about his COVID diagnosis was devastating. With his immune system weakened by chemotherapy, the virus posed a significant threat. He admitted that COVID was incredibly tough due to his compromised immunity, far surpassing the difficulties he faced with cancer.
