David Lynch Gives Health Update
This excerpt from an interview from the September issue of the magazine Sight and sound is a source of widely shared sadness and concern among viewers and fans of David LynchIn this interview, the legendary 78-year-old director confides that he suffers frompulmonary emphysemaa disease that irreversibly damages lung tissue. He explains it like this:to be confined at home“, not being able to expose themselves to the risk of becoming seriously ill.
It would be very bad for me to get sick, even if it was a cold. (…) If the opportunity arose, I would probably have to direct from home. With Covid we have now invented a way to do it remotely… But I wouldn’t like that very much.
However, if the director of Sailor and Lula and of Mulholland Drive- ex-heavy smoker – suffers from emphysema, David Lynch wanted to reassure about his health. Thus crushing all the alarming pessimistic hypotheses that appeared on social networks.
“I will never retire”
It was on X (formerly Twitter) that David Lynch spoke. Clear-headed and determined, he clarified his condition and assured that he was “completely happy“.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Yes, I have emphysema after all these years of smoking. I have to say that I used to enjoy smoking, and I love tobacco – the smell of it, lighting cigarettes, smoking them – but there is a price to pay for this pleasure, and that price for me is emphysema. I stopped smoking over two years ago. I have had a lot of tests recently and the good news is that I am in excellent health, apart from the emphysema. I am completely happy and will never retire.
I want you all to know that I am very touched by your concern.
With love,
David
