Speaking exclusively to Sky News, Bridges said, “I got cancer and chemo and then COVID on top of that. And the chemo stripped me of my immune system so I got the COVID pretty bad.

The popular actor, whose credits include The Big Lebowski, True Grit, Crazy Heart, and the Tron movies, claims that despite spending months in the hospital, he made an effort to find the positive aspects of his circumstances.
