Jeff Bridges‘ true grit has helped him through the hard times.
The Hell or High Water actor shared that he’s doing well nearly five years after he announced he was diagnosed with lymphoma, a blood cancer, and nearly four years after announcing he was in remission.
Jeff told People in an interview published May 9, “I’m feeling good.”
However, the 75-year-old admitted that he is facing some health challenges after battling a case of COVID-19 during his chemo treatment.
“Some things,” Jeff explained, “it’s hard to tell if it’s the cancer and the COVID or if it’s just old age.”
As for what ailments he’s currently facing, the Tron star explained, “I can’t smell.”
But the challenges have turned into smiles with his wife, Susan Geston, who he met while filming Rancho Deluxe in 1975.
“My wife laughs at me,” he continued. “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.”
