<p>The 73-year-old actor spoke to the <a href="https://www.aarp.org/entertainment/celebrities/info-2023/jeff-bridges-cancer-covid-the-old-man-interview.html">AARP magazine</a> in an interview published Tuesday and said his cancer, which was once a &#8220;9-by-12 inch tumor,&#8221; has shrunken &#8220;to the size of a marble.&#8221; However, he said that he&#8217;s still dealing with long-term recovery issues from his tough bout with the coronavirus.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was slow at first, as they worked to find the right chemo cocktail for me,&#8221; Bridges said. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;For me,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Cancer was nothing compared to the COVID. I remember the doctor saying to me, &#8216;Jeff, you&#8217;ve got to fight. You&#8217;re not fighting.&#8217; But I didn&#8217;t get it anymore. I just didn&#8217;t know how to do that. I was in surrender mode.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d say to myself, &#8216;Everybody dies, and this is me dying,'&#8221; Bridges continued. &#8220;And I&#8217;d hear myself go, &#8216;Oh, well, here we are, on to the next adventure.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Bridges got his non-Hodgkin&#8217;s lymphoma into remission in <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/jeff-bridges-tumor-size-of-marble-1235498982/">September 2021</a> and then was treated with &#8220;convalescent plasma&#8221; which contained COVID viral antibodies.</p>

<p>&#8220;A lot of getting better was a matter of setting really small goals,&#8221; the actor said. &#8220;At first they’d say, &#8216;How long can you stand?&#8217; For a while, my record was 45 seconds before I&#8217;d collapse. And then they were saying: &#8216;Oh, look, you&#8217;re standing for a minute! That&#8217;s so cool, now can you walk 5 feet?'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d ever work again, really,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So at first I said, &#8216;Well, we&#8217;ll see.&#8217; But eventually that became, &#8216;Maybe I can.&#8217; I have to admit that I was still frightened of going back to work. Then I began to think of my recovery as a gift being presented.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So cut to two years after taking that break,&#8221; Bridges continued. &#8220;I come back to work, and, man, it was like a dream, as if we&#8217;d just had a long weekend or something. I was seeing all the same faces in the cast and crew. Very bizarre. Everybody showed such dedication and hung in. We finished it. I appreciate that.&#8221;</p>
