Jeff Bridges has been through a lot over these past couple of years. From discovering a tumor to having a near-death experience when he contracted a severe case of COVID-19 in 2021, his health has been on the slopes. But in the most recent update he gave about his cancer, things seem to be looking on the bright side.
In an interview for his cover story with AARP, Jeff shared that his tumor has shrunk "to the size of a marble." This is thanks to chemotherapy by infusion and oral chemo.
The 73-year-old revealed his cancer diagnosis in 2020. He had been diagnosed with lymphoma. He discovered the foot-long tumor in his abdomen while exercising at home.

Jeff shared the deepest thanks to his wife, who has been a source of strength for him throughout this entire time.
"My wife Sue was my absolute champion," he shared of his five-week hospital stay due to COVID. "She really fought to keep me off a ventilator. I didn't want to be on it, and the doctors didn't necessarily want that, but she was adamant."
