Brigitte Bardot is perhaps one of the most well-known names in the world. She started her career as a model in the 1950s, and today she works as an activist. The 88-year-old former actress and model resides in the South of France.
According to recent reports, emergency services rushed to her home to aid her…
Birgitte Bardot first gained notoriety as an actress and a model beginning in 1952. She soon became an icon and turned into one of the most iconic pop culture sex symbols of the ’50s and ’60s.
She was known for playing roles that showcased sexually liberated women who lived on the wild side.
The actress, however, retired from acting and modeling in 1973 and focused her energies instead on becoming an activist. Her main area of activism is animal protection and welfare. She, however, came under fire for racist remarks and homophobic comments she made in her own autobiography.
The 88-year-old French film icon is married to husband Bernard d’Ormale. It was her husband d’Ormale who spoke to the media and confirmed the health scare Bardot suffered.
“It was around 9 a.m. when Brigitte had trouble breathing,” d’Ormale said. “It was harder than usual but she didn’t lose consciousness. Let’s call it a moment of respiratory distraction.”
He explained, “The firefighters arrived, gave her oxygen to breathe and stayed for a moment to watch her.” He told the outlet the firefighters arrival was slightly delayed because they had initially went to the wrong address before arriving at the correct one.
The reason behind her breathing issues according to d’Ormale was the heat. He said, “Like all people of a certain age, she can no longer bear the heat.”
“It happens at 88, she must not make unnecessary efforts,” he continued. “Her pulse is fine, her heart too and her blood pressure is good, but things remain fragile.”
The actress apparently has been complaining of the heat in their home and that the airconditioning is not enough. Her husband said their air conditioning “is not very strong at home.”
We are glad to know that Brigette Bardot is doing well. Share this piece with other fans of the former actress so they can know she is doing better as well.
Willie Nelson, 91, continues to cancel tour dates citing unknown illness
Another tour date has been canceled by Willie Nelson, and there is no planned return date.
Hours before Nelson was set to take the stage in Virginia Beach on Wednesday, a message was posted on his social media accounts alerting followers that the 91-year-old singer would not be making the trip as planned.
Only a few days had passed since Nelson postponed his tour’s Georgia opener due to “not feeling well.”
The first piece of bad news arrived on June 21, when Nelson had to postpone his Outlaw Music Festival Tour’s first show.
A social media message read, “We regret to inform you that Willie Nelson is not feeling well and has been advised to rest for the next four days per doctor’s orders.” “Next week, he is anticipated to resume his Outlaw Music Festival tour following a speedy recovery.”
Nelson did, however, announce yet another cancellation less than a week later.
“There will be no Willie Nelson performance at the Virginia Beach event tonight. We anticipate Willie joining the tour again soon.
Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, and Celisse were all planned to perform, despite Nelson’s inability to do so. In addition to playing some of Nelson’s greatest hits, Lukas Nelson, the son of the late great, was scheduled to perform a solo set.
Nelson’s website still lists his next tour date as June 28 in Syracuse, New York as of June 27, but it’s unknown if Nelson will be able to make it due to an undetermined return date.
We hope Willie Nelson gets well quickly, whatever it is that is preventing him from performing.
If you’re a fan of Willie, please share!
