CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 25: Director David Lynch smokes a cigarette as he attends the "Twin Peaks" screening during the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 25, 2017 in Cannes, France. David Lynch, the iconic screenwriter and director behind surrealist staples “Twin Peaks” and “Eraserhead,” has been diagnosed with emphysema — and he says it has taken a toll on his ability to direct.
The 78-year-old filmmaker, artist and musician revealed in a recent interview that he has “gotten emphysema from smoking so long” during his life. He told Sight and Sound magazine in a cover story published Monday that as a result, “I’m homebound whether I like it nor not.
The director, who received an honorary Oscar in 2019, said he is cautious about his health as COVID-19 continues to linger. Nearly 20 years after his last feature film , Lynch said his health is now a factor in whether he will pursue a new project and how he will go about doing so.Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath and is caused by long-term exposure to airborne irritants including tobacco smoke, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Lynch also is known for the 1980 film “The Elephant Man,” his divisive 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic “Dune” and “Twin Peaks: The Return,” Showtime’s 2017 revival of his and co-creator Mark Frost’s series starring Kyle MacLachlan.
