Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges said while his cancer is in remission, he caught COVD-19 during treatment, which "kicked my a** pretty good," he said in a handwritten note posted on his website.
The 71-year-old revealed his cancer diagnosis in October 2020. "I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma," Bridges said on Twitter after quoting his iconic "The Big Lebowski" character, The Dude. "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."
On his website Monday, Bridges shared a post he wrote in March, but decided not to share until he got a handle on his COVID-19.
