Director David Lynch has said that he now needs a supply of oxygen and can only walk short distances after being diagnosed with emphysema.
Speaking to Sight & Sound magazine in August, the 78-year-old director of Twin Peaks and Eraserhead, revealed that he had the condition due to smoking throughout his life and said that, if he directs again, it will have to be remotely as he cannot “go out” due to fears he will get Covid. However, he did defiantly say that he would “never retire”.
