Smoking-Related Emphysema Diagnosis Prevents Lynch from On-Set Supervision
Famous Filmmaker Shares Health Concerns and Future Plans
In a recent interview with Sight & Sound, acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch revealed that he has been diagnosed with emphysema, a smoking-related lung condition that has restricted his ability to direct projects in person.
Lynch disclosed that his health issues have forced him to retreat from the traditional on-set directing process. "It would be very bad for me to go out and do that," he stated. "I'll never retire, but I'm not going to go out and direct people anymore."
Despite the limitations imposed by his health, Lynch remains committed to his craft. He plans to continue writing and developing projects remotely, utilizing technology to stay involved in the filmmaking process.
Lynch's diagnosis serves as a sobering reminder of the long-term health consequences of smoking. His decision to publicly share his experience underscores the importance of prioritizing health and adopting healthier lifestyle choices.
