David Lynch shared his health news with Sight & Sound magazine. He revealed that smoking caused his emphysema. To stay safe from colds and COVID-19, Lynch stays at home. He can direct movies from home but prefers not to. There were rumors about his retirement, but Lynch cleared them up.
Lynch confirmed,
“Yes, I have emphysema from smoking a lot. I enjoyed smoking and love tobacco. But smoking has a cost, and mine is emphysema. I quit smoking two years ago. After many tests, I am healthy except for emphysema. I am happy and won’t retire. I appreciate your concern.”
Lynch’s creativity remains strong. During the pandemic, he started the “What Is David Working on Today?” video series and daily weather reports on YouTube. He also made the short films Fire (Pożar) and WHAT DID JACK DO?. Lynch directed a music video for Donovan and released the album Cellophane Memories with Chrystabell. His last feature film, Inland Empire, was released in 2006.
