Shingles diagnosis
Harrison Ford cancels appearance at Oscar Gala
A few days ago, "Star Wars" actor Harrison Ford was announced as a celebrity helper at the Oscar Gala in Los Angeles. But that is not to be: Ford had to cancel his appearance at short notice due to shingles.
According to his spokesperson, the 82-year-old was diagnosed with the disease on Friday. Shingles is caused by a virus that usually initially causes chickenpox (also known as sheep pox) in children. After it has subsided, the virus remains in the nerve cells for life and can trigger shingles with reddening of the skin, blisters and itching at a later stage.
Herpes zoster can cause severe nerve pain and lead to serious complications such as meningitis.
Last Sunday, Ford attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.
Gomez, Hawn and Dafoe announced
For the 97th Academy Awards on Monday night, the film academy had announced numerous celebrity helpers last week, including Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Halle Berry, Goldie Hawn, Oprah Winfrey, Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy. His "Star Wars" colleague Mark Hamil is now expected to replace Ford.
