"Never retire!"
Director David Lynch suffers from emphysema
US director David Lynch (78) does not want to say goodbye to the film business despite suffering from emphysema. He enjoyed smoking very much, but now he is paying the price for it. He quit two years ago. Apart from the emphysema diagnosis, he is in "excellent shape".
He is happy and will "never" retire, Lynch continued. However, he is currently tied to his house and has to be careful.
Directing on location on a set is hardly conceivable for him at the moment; he can only contribute from a distance.
The director of cult classics such as "Eraserhead", "Blue Velvet" and "Wild at Heart" brought new episodes of the cult mystery series "Twin Peaks" to the screen in 2017.
Pulmonary emphysema
In pulmonary emphysema, the alveoli are partially destroyed or overstretched. Because the respiratory flow is disturbed as a result, the oxygen content in the blood decreases. Common symptoms are shortness of breath, especially during physical exertion, and fatigue. In most cases, emphysema is caused by smoking. The disease cannot be cured, but can be delayed with medication, for example.
Lynch has also made short films and written screenplays in recent years. He appeared in front of the camera as an actor for director Steven Spielberg in "The Fablemans" (2022). In the autobiographical drama, he had a small role as film director John Ford.
