Jeff Bridges Diagnosed With Lymphoma

Oscar winning actor and perhaps the most well known ‘Dude’ on the planet, Jeff Bridges, has just informed everyone via Twitter he has been diagnosed with lymphoma.

As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come to light.

I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good.

I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.

In a follow up tweet the the 70 year old actor asked his fans to “go vote”, claiming “we are all in this together”. Bridges has not made a film since 2018, “Bad Times at the Old Royale.”

I’m profoundly grateful for the love and support from my family and friends.

Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. And, while I have you, please remember to go vote. Because we are all in this together. https://t.co/6sAU4MYixl
