Hollywood icon Richard Dreyfuss has shared a heartbreaking health update with fans as he confirmed that he is too poorly to attend this year's SharkCon.
The Jaws star, 77, played Matt Hooper in the award-winning Stephen Spielberg film, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
In a new clip shared to SharkCon's Instagram on Sunday, Richard was tucked up in a hospital bed with a Jaws blanket.
Richard looked pale and appeared to struggle when addressing fans heading to the event.
Richard said to the camera: 'Hello fellow cons. I am very, very sorry to tell you that I've been diagnosed with, viral, er…What is it?'

Hope he gets well. Sounds miserable.
I'm not saying perfect, I'm not saying conservative, I just remember thinking "Dreyfus sounds more sane than the latest Hollywood generation".
If you're reading this, Get Well Soon, Richard!
Requires a lot of sleep.
Or, a bigger IV bag!
Hope he can recover, soon.
He’ll surely get a payday out it just for the appearance by video. The older you get the less you should move. I’m pretty sure if Brody or Quint were still alive... That would be their advice.

What about Bob?
“Teach our kids how to run our country, before they are called upon to run our country…if we don’t, someone else will run our country.” ~ Richard Dreyfuss
In a time where I am discouraged that I even see people on Free Republic succumbing to Leftist thought patterns and behaviors, here is a man who I thought was lost, but appears found...ideologically, at least.
I had heard for most of my life that an actor I enjoyed, Richard Dreyfuss, was a raging Leftist. I had seen him speak on camera a long time ago, and there was no doubt. He was the kind of people I avoid. Not a Liberal. An angry Leftist. It was extremely disappointing to me, but not in the least surprising given the composition of Hollywood. And it has been my experience that most of those types of people are unrecoverable.
It made me more sad than angry.
Then I heard something recently about him, could not remember what it was, and it made me think "What the heck? It sounds like he has had a change of mind?" but the article did not have any substance or links to show that one way or another.
Then I saw this thread, and the link to his website about civics. It led me to this website:
LINK: Richard Dreyfuss Explains Why He’s No Longer a Democrat (TheWrap)
This article was written back in 2016, and this is an excerpt:
Well. This revelation has a positive effect on me. I was prepared to post something like "I don't agree with the likes of Richard Dreyfuss, but I enjoyed his acting and hope he is feeling better soon" and instead, see the hope that he may have been "red pilled".
I am now genuinely curious about his book now, because I assumed it was from the point of view of a Leftist who thinks Conservatives don't understand the Constitution (which whenever I hear a Leftist talk about the Constitution, is the kind of typical tripe you always get but...it doesn't appear that is the direction of the book. (We simply don't believe in THEIR interpretation of the Constitution, in which we reject their opinion utterly based on their actions in the political system.)
Here is a brief excerpt from his book-I wonder if it was something like what he described here that began to put cracks in his Leftist "foundation":
"...Obama’s secretary of education... once invited me to attend what they called the Obama administration’s 'university level rollout of civic instruction.' The presentation tried to convince me that public school was not the place for such civic lessons, that only universities were. I listened, then raised my hand when questions were asked for, and said, 'If I am correct, this program should cause students’ respect and love for the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and all that comes with it. But if you wait until students graduate from high school, you are guaranteeing failure... By college they will greet any attempt to inspire love for their system of governance with a middle finger. Bet on it.'..."
I am going to buy his book, and may post back on what I think.
In that excerpt above (about the invitation from Obama’s Secretary of Education) it is clear Leftist have an elitist attitude. Not only do they not believe parents have the training to be good parents and it is obvious they feel that unless you go to Harvard’s Kennedy School on Government” that you cannot be in the government.
Pftt.
Screw them. And good on Dreyfuss for pointing it out when given the chance.
Aka a chest cold..he’ll be okay.
Aw, prayers for him.
If he got the jab, it will multiply into pneumonia and spread.
The dangerous idea is that a bunch of communists can dictate what future leaders must believe.
True that...and that was implicit!
