Bridges went on to write that he came home "elated," though he also described subsequently turning on the TV and seeing the news on the day of the Capitol riot in Washington, D.C. The actor said that "to see our country attacking itself broke my heart."

When he shared his diagnosis last year, Bridges wrote that he feels "fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good." He later updated fans in December, writing alongside a photo of himself with a shaved head that he's "feeling good."
