Despite suffering from a serious lung disease, American director David Lynch does not want to say goodbye to the film industry. The 78-year-old said on the X platform on Monday (local time) that as a long-term smoker, he suffers from emphysema. He loved smoking, but now he was paying the price. He quit smoking two years ago. Aside from the diagnosis of emphysema, he is doing “very well.”
Lynch went on to say he was happy and would “never” retire. The director previously spoke about his illness in an interview with British magazine Sight & Sound, saying he was now essentially confined to his home and had to be very careful. Currently, on-site guidance is almost impossible for him, and he can only participate from a distance.
The director of cult classics such as “Eraserhead,” “Blue Velvet” and “Wild” brings new episodes of the cult mystery series “Twin Peaks” to the screen in 2017. In recent years, Lynch has also produced short films and written screenplays. He appears in front of the camera as an actor in Steven Spielberg’s “The Febelmanns” (2022). In the autobiographical drama, he had a small role as film director John Ford.
