Jeff Bridges gave fans an update on his battle with lymphoma after first revealing his diagnosis in October 2020.

The 73-year-old actor spoke to the AARP magazine in an interview published Tuesday and said his cancer, which was once a “9-by-12 inch tumor,” has shrunken “to the size of a marble.” However, he said that he’s still dealing with long-term recovery issues from his tough bout with the coronavirus.

“It was slow at first, as they worked to find the right chemo cocktail for me,” Bridges said. “I got this letter from the chemo place informing me I had contracted COVID [in January 2021]. I had no immune system to fight it. Chemo had wiped that out, which made it really, really tough.”
