The 71-year-old actor has updated fans on his personal website to keep them informed of his health. He recently revealed that just days after the beginning of the year, on January 6, he underwent a CT scan to see if the treatment has worked to reduce his tumor.
“It just so happens to be working perfectly,” writes Bridges. “The thing has shrunk dramatically.”
The “Big Lebowski” star said she was “elated” with the news only to return home and “turn on the news”. It was the same day that the violent violation occurred on the United States Capitol.

Bridges then shared a mantra from his mentor, Rozzell Sykes: “BE LOVE.”
“Oooo … yes … that’s my way,” concluded Bridges.
