Sure there have been rumors about his health, but our guy and his team of fixers have done everything in their power to dismiss the chatter.
He insists he’s as healthy as ever – despite his advanced age – and he’s desperate to continue that charade to hold on to his career.
The truth is he’s quite ill, battling a blood disorder, which explains the changes to his appearance – including a recent weight loss.
Luckily for him he’s a big deal, so he’s able to control his schedule and does most of his work in the daytime when he has the most energy.
Nonetheless his team is very worried that he might not be able to complete his latest project.
Runner ups
-
Al Pacino (84)
Health rumors have circulated for years. He’s gaunt at times, works sporadically. Still takes projects but could fit the “team is worried” clue. He has 8 projects listed as upcoming on IMDB. -
Robert De Niro (81)
Advanced age, but he’s still making movies nonstop. Not much strong health rumor chatter though. -
Harrison Ford (83)
Old, still doing big projects (like Indiana Jones 5). Rumors about his stamina on set. -
Clint Eastwood (95)
Extremely advanced age, weight loss noted, and there have been whispers about him struggling with projects. He has one project “The Gauntlet” listed as upcoming on IMDB. -
Jack Nicholson (87)
Health rumors are constant, but he hasn’t worked in years, so the “latest project” part doesn’t fit. -
Bruce Willis would have fit health blinds (but his condition is public now).
When it comes to blinds about aging Hollywood legends and their health, there are always a few familiar names that surface. Al Pacino, now 84, is at the top of that list. Whispers about his wellbeing have been around for years. He has often looked gaunt, works in fits and starts, and while he continues to take on new projects, those close to him are reportedly worried about how much he can handle. The blind’s mention of a blood disorder has only fueled speculation, with some gossip circles pointing to Pacino’s noticeable weight loss and slower movements as possible signs.
Robert De Niro, at 81, is another contender given his age, but he seems to push through film after film with no significant health rumors following him.
Harrison Ford, 83, remains active with massive projects like Indiana Jones 5, although stories about him struggling with stamina on set have circulated at times.
Clint Eastwood, at 95, has drawn attention for his frail appearance, and whispers about declining health and difficulty completing projects have persisted.
Jack Nicholson, 87, has long been a tabloid target for health chatter, but since he has not worked in years, he is less likely to match the description of someone still fighting to finish a current project.
Bruce Willis would have been a clear guess if this blind had surfaced before his diagnosis became public.
The detail about a blood disorder narrows the field significantly. Pacino stands out as the strongest fit, an actor still working on prestige projects, visibly thinner, and surrounded by a team that would have every reason to keep his personal struggles quiet in order to protect his career. If this blind is pointing to anyone, the safest bet is Al Pacino, second runner up is Clint Eastwood.
