Academy-award winner Jeff Bridges, known for his role in the 1998 film “The Big Lebowski”, has been diagnosed with lymphoma, the actor announced on Monday evening.
Bridges used the signature voice of his character The Dude from the cult-classic film to disclose his condition, tweeting: “As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come to light.”
Bridges, 70, said he is starting treatment for the condition and that the “prognosis is good.”
The actor is a seven-time Oscar nominee, winning the award in 2010 for his role as a country musician in “Crazy Heart”.
