Jeff Bridges reveals 'massive' tumor discovered during filming

Actor Jeff Bridges doesn't just often play a tough guy in the movies, he is one.

Recently, the 74-year-old opened up about filming the first season of FX's The Old Man while carrying around a massive tumor inside his body.

"I’m feeling great now," the actor said. "What is so bizarre, to me anyway, in the first season when I was doing these fight scenes, I had a 9-inch by 12-inch tumor in my body, in my stomach, that didn’t hurt at all. So that’s surprising to me."

Bridges claimed he first noticed something was wrong during a routine workout, saying:

I was doing some exercises while on the ground and felt what seemed like a bone in my stomach. I thought to myself, ‘Hmm.’ But it didn’t hurt or anything. I asked [wife] Sue what she thought. She said: ‘I don’t know, but you’ve got to get it checked out.'

"You’d think that would have hurt or something, when they were punching me and stuff," he said. "It didn't."

We are so thankful that Jeff Bridges had the tumor successfully removed!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family!
