Jeff Bridges took to Twitter Monday evening to reveal he’s been diagnosed with lymphoma. In a nod to his iconic role in “The Big Lebowski,” the Academy Award-winning actor tweeted, “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.”
Bridges, who last starred in 2018’s “Bad Times at the El Royale” and will next be seen starring in the FX on Hulu series “The Old Man,” also added, “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.” He then urged fans to head to Vote.org before signing off his message with “Love, Jeff.”

Damn. Sorry to hear this. Bridges is almost always, no, always, great in every role he takes on (I loved his Rooster Cogburn).
Prayers up for him. I’ve always like Jeff Bridges’ acting. He was great in “Seabiscuit.”
Hang in there, Flynn
The fact that I know nothing about his politics is a plus.
Hope he beats it.
Amazing actor...crazy good as lead in Crazy Heart
I was just listening to soundtrack today
I’ve read he’s one of the good guys in Hollyweird
The Dude Abides.
Best Wishes, Jeff.
Prayers for him...best thing about him is I have no idea of his politics!!!!
Jagged Edge and Starman.
Never watched Lebowski will have to check it out.
He looks just like my brother, if my brother would furry up a bit and grow his hair and beard.
I am sorry for him!
Godspeed, Jeff. Love your work.
I didn’t know until just now that he’s the son of Lloyd Bridges.
He played the bad guy in Iron Man 1
Because, I’m the Dude! Prayers to you Mr. Bridges. You never fail to entertain.
Was thinking the same thing. Hard to beat the Duke, but he brought a much different character to that role.
The Dude will abide.
He’s played against all odds before.
The Big Lebowski is an acquired taste.
I find it funnier every time I see it.
Jammed Packed with F-Bomb’s.
John Goodman’s best role ever.
