Brigitte Bardot , icon of French cinema , recently underwent major surgery at the private Saint-Jean Hospital in Toulon, not far from her home in La Madrague, Saint-Tropez. According to local newspaper Var Matin , the actress was admitted to the hospital three weeks ago and underwent “surgery there as part of a serious illness”
Though the details were not confirmed officially, the 91-year-old actress is reportedly in a “worrying state,” though there is some optimism for her recovery. She may be discharged from the hospital should her post-surgery continue smoothly.
This is not the first time that Bardot has had to deal with major health problems. In January 2023, she was hospitalized due to respiratory failure that later resolved. Little news has been heard about her since then.
