Brigitte Bardot, 91, Sends Message of Reassurance Following Hospitalization
TOULON, France – French cinema icon Brigitte Bardot, 91, has addressed public concern regarding her health following several days of hospitalization at the saint-Jean hospital in Toulon. The actress, known for her roles in films like And God Created Woman, was recently admitted for an undisclosed reason, marking her second hospital stay in as many months.
This latest health scare has prompted an outpouring of concern from fans, fueled by previous false reports of her death in October. Through a statement released by the Brigitte Bardot Foundation-dedicated to animal defence and protection-the actress sought to quell anxieties and request privacy. “Madame Bardot would like to reassure those who are sincerely worried about her,” the foundation stated, relaying a message from Bardot herself: “I kiss you all.”
Bardot’s hospitalization follows a surgical procedure that required a previous stay at the same hospital just one month prior. The actress, who retired from filmmaking years ago, publicly dismissed rumors of her passing on X (formerly Twitter) on October 22, stating, “I don’t know who the imbecile is who launched this fake news this evening about my disappearance but know that I am fine and that I have no intention of bowing out.”
The recent health episodes underscore the fragility of the celebrated actress, while her continued resilience and dedication to animal welfare remain steadfast. The foundation’s statement emphasizes Bardot’s desire for respect for her private life as she recovers.
