Bridges used the signature voice of his
character The Dude from the cult-classic film to disclose his
condition, tweeting: "As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come
to light."
Bridges, 70, said he is starting treatment for the condition and
that the "prognosis is good."
The actor is a seven-time Oscar nominee, winning the award in
2010 for his role as a country musician in "Crazy Heart".
A veteran of the industry and from a prominent Hollywood family,
Bridges is known for his laid-back personality and has acted in
critically acclaimed movies such as "Starman", "Thunderbolt and
Lightfoot", "The Fisher King", and the Coen brothers' remake of
"True Grit". He has also appeared in commercially successful
films like the first instalment of the Marvel franchise "Iron
Man".
The actor thanked his well-wishers and promised to keep everyone
posted on his recovery.
