The actress said in an interview that she avoids going out, but when she goes out she is always accompanied by someone because she could ‘hit something or fall’
One of the biggest names in British dramaturgy, the actress Judi Dench90 years old, was interviewed on the podcast Fearlesswhere he spoke about a condition that affects his vision, advanced macular degeneration (AMD), which, although it does not cause blindness, makes facial recognition and reading very difficult.
During her participation, the artist addressed the difficulties of the condition, but not without showing the positive side she found in the midst of it. “Someone will always be there for me,” adding with a laugh, “I have to do this now because I can’t see and I’m going to hit something or fall.”
The actress also revealed that she was never good at going to events and parties alone. “Not at all, nor would it be now,” she said. “But luckily, I don’t need it anymore because I can pretend I don’t have vision!”, said the lady of the English theater.
This is not the first time that the actress has spoken about AMD, in an interview with The Graham Norton Show, Dench talked about how this affected her career and caused her to act less, as the condition prevents her from reading scripts. “I need to find a machine that will not only teach me my lines, but also tell me where they appear on the page. I used to find it very easy to learn lines and remember them. I could do Twelfth Night whole right now,” he said.
The actress’s last work in feature films was in Spirited – A Christmas Tale (2022), directed by Sean Andersand in Hallelujah (2022) by Richard Eyre. She recently made some appearances, one of the most moving was to pay tribute to her professional colleague and friend maggie smithwho passed away in September 2024.
