Editorial Director/Box Office Editor
David Lynch opened up about his battle with emphysema and his isolation due to fear of Covid-19 in a recent interview with X.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” Lynch writes, “Yes, I have emphysema from my years of smoking. I have to say that I loved smoking, and I love tobacco—the smell of it, lighting cigarettes, smoking them—but there is a price to pay for this pleasure, and the price for me is emphysema. I have been quitting smoking for over two years now. I have had many tests recently, and the good news is that I am in excellent health, except for the emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire. I want you all to know that I truly appreciate your concern. Love, David”
