Jeff Bridges he is a survivor. So far, the actor has managed to emerge victorious from his battle with cancer, while also overcoming the serious complications he had with his health when he contracted the coronavirus.

Speaking to People last year about his battle with cancer, Bridges said he first felt the tumor while working out. “It was a 30×23 cm tumor in my body. Like a child inside my body“, he revealed himself. His wife suggested he get tested, he said, but the actor hesitated to go to the doctor because he wasn’t in pain.

“I hiked and felt great. However, I had night sweats, but I still didn’t pay attention because I thought it was just the summer heat. It turned out that these are symptoms of lymphoma“, says the actor. And he adds: “Cancer was nothing compared to the coronavirus».

The famous actor was preparing for the worst case scenario, but he saw this adventure with his health as a challenge he had to face. “For me, in the hospital bed, the obstacle was death. And that was my way of dealing with the situation. I kept thinking, “Here’s the problem, you see?”. Here’s the challenge”“, he said.
