Oscar Winner Jeff Bridges Grateful for Support After Revealing He Has Lymphoma

Actor Jeff Bridges has been diagnosed with lymphoma. The 70-year-old Oscar winner made the announcement on Twitter, channeling his “Big Lebowski” character “The Dude.” Lymphoma is a type of cancer of the lymphatic system, which is the body’s germ-fighting network. Symptoms can include swelling of the lymph nodes, persistent fatigue and fever. Bridges added that although the condition is serious, he is fortunate to have a “great team of doctors.”
