Brigitte Bardot Hospitalized Following Surgery

by

Brigitte Bardot is on the mend.

Brigitte Bardot, known for her role in *And God Created Woman*, has been recovering in a private hospital in Toulon, France, for almost three weeks following a recent surgical procedure, according to the French newspaper *Var-Matin*.

According to reports, the 91-year-old recently had surgery after becoming seriously ill, and her health is causing concern.

Brigitte Bardot is expected to leave the hospital soon, after being admitted in late September, and continue recovering at her home in St. Tropez.

TopMob News has contacted representatives for Bardot to inquire about her recent hospitalization and health, but has not received a response yet.

Brigitte Bardot was recently hospitalized, following a similar health scare two years ago in 2023 when paramedics were called to her home because she had difficulty breathing, according to reports in the French media.

Brigitte began having difficulty breathing around 9 p.m., according to her husband, Bernard d’Ormale, in a statement to Var-Matin. He said it was a more severe episode than usual, but she remained conscious. Firefighters arrived and provided oxygen, staying to keep an eye on her condition.

The incident happened in July, and d’Ormale speculated that the hot weather might have played a role, explaining that, like many older people, she struggles with heat.

Brigitte Bardot, hailed as the first French film icon to become globally famous, opened up about her 70-year career. The documentary, directed by Alain Berliner and featuring contributions from friends like Stella McCartney, Naomi Campbell, and Marina Abramovic, offered viewers a personal and revealing look at the actress’s true self.

Berliner shared with *Variety* that despite Brigitte Bardot remaining quite private, he successfully accomplished a key aim for the documentary: letting Bardot herself narrate her own story.

After finishing her last film, *The Edifying and Joyous Story of Colinot*, in 1973, Brigitte Bardot dedicated her life to animal welfare, pursuing a cause she deeply cared about.

“It’s what I dreamed of,” she told Vanity Fair in 2012. “It’s what I always wanted.”

Even as she’s aged, Brigitte Bardot hasn’t tried to hide it. Instead, she’s focused on living life to the fullest. She’s said she doesn’t feel old or worn out, and she doesn’t want to waste time worrying about aging, because she’s dedicated to her passions.

I was shocked to hear that one of Nikki’s breast implants actually shifted during a match last July! Apparently, Piper Niven landed a really hard elbow slam on her, and it caused the implant to move. It’s crazy to think about what these wrestlers go through, even with all the training!

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, that they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitments – hinting at retirement – she’d return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best, because she planned to revitalize things in the future and couldn’t allow the current state to remain.

Lupita Nyong’o, known for her role in *12 Years a Slave*, received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids—benign growths in or around the uterus—in 2014, the same year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t share her diagnosis until 2025, when she revealed on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with the condition for over ten years.

She explained that growing up, many girls are told that periods are supposed to be painful, and that pain is just something women have to deal with. This often leaves people feeling like they’re suffering in silence with something incredibly common.

 

In July 2025, the actress from *Daisy Jones & The Six* revealed she’d been hospitalized for a hernia, which developed from wearing overly tight pants. A hernia is a gap in the abdominal or groin muscles.

Someone messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter) asking why she hadn’t been tweeting lately. Her reply was a surprising confession: she revealed she’d been afraid to tell anyone that a pair of very tight pants she wore six months ago caused a hernia.

The former star of *Beverly Hills, 90210* shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain, which led him to the emergency room. Doctors discovered his appendix had a hole in it – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from a cement truck accident he experienced at age 11 continue to cause him problems now.

“It’s been a really difficult time,” Devine shared on the *In Depth With Graham Bensinger* podcast in 2025. “I’ve been experiencing spasms all over my body, and doctors recently told me I was in a life-threatening situation—I was told I was dying within the last year.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying, “My body has a few quirks and isn’t quite perfect.”

He described a strange tingling sensation that still lingered in his legs as of March 2025, sharing this on his *Trading Secrets* podcast. He explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he’d been squatting 295 pounds, but now he couldn’t even do a squat, or even stand on one leg without falling. He said it felt like he’d had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a gun unsafely. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her, checked her injuries, and drove her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet narrowly missed her right eye, coming within an inch of a direct hit.

The former *Kim Possible* star shared that a small piece of something got stuck behind their eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, and they’ll be keeping a close watch on the situation, but thankfully their vision is currently normal.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its often negative side, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier,” Schumer was surprised to see doctors commenting on her appearance online. They suggested she might have Cushing syndrome, potentially caused by steroid injections. This prompted Schumer to realize she *had* been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. Thanks to the online discussion, she was diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, which she likely wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Fortunately, Schumer recently shared that her form of Cushing syndrome is resolving on its own, and she’s healthy – news she called “the greatest imaginable.”

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly developed stroke-like symptoms, initially struggling to respond when Justin noticed something was wrong. She couldn’t speak and the right side of her face began to droop, but these symptoms eventually subsided.

H Hailey went to the hospital and tests revealed she had experienced a small blood clot in her brain, diagnosed as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). Further investigation at UCLA discovered she had a hole in her heart, called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

Doctors determined the blood clot had traveled through the PFO and reached her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey successfully underwent a procedure to close the hole in her heart and is now recovering well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained that the virus affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also mentioned it became increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on *Good Morning America* that Justin was recovering well, saying it had been a frightening experience, but he was going to be okay and she was thankful he was fine.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. In his 2024 Netflix special, *What Had Happened Was…*, he explained that he suffered from a severe headache one day in Atlanta. Before he could even take an aspirin, he lost consciousness and doesn’t remember the next 20 days.

He initially saw a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital. There, they discovered he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

After surgery, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair on May 4th, unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for the prayers he received, saying, “I needed every prayer.”

The reality TV star shared that she briefly stopped breathing while running in the first challenge of the NBC competition show, describing the experience as feeling like ‘dying’.

She shared on the show *Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser* that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather before everything went dark. After that, she saw light, which led her to realize she had died that day.

Let me tell you, I was seriously unwell. I actually ended up with something called rhabdomyolysis, which is basically your body’s emergency stop button. I didn’t even realize what was happening at first, but it was like my organs were starting to fail. It’s a scary thing, because it means your body is sending a clear signal that it needs to shut down to protect itself.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in *Game of Thrones*, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for *The New Yorker*. While filming the show, she experienced a severe headache during a gym workout, which quickly escalated. She described collapsing and being violently ill, realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan revealed she’d suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage – a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain – due to a ruptured aneurysm. She immediately underwent surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia, making it difficult to speak coherently.

Though the aphasia eventually passed and she was discharged after a month, a follow-up scan in 2013 showed the aneurysm had grown and required a second surgery. This operation was unsuccessful, leading to a massive bleed and a dire prognosis. Doctors needed to perform a more invasive procedure, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia Clarke is now fully recovered and says she is “at a hundred per cent.”

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared her gratitude for her family’s support after she suffered a stroke in January 2024.

While she could have been discharged after the stroke, other health issues, including lupus and failing kidneys, required a longer hospital stay. Cori is now recovering well, saying she’s doing great and has been working to regain some motor skills. She feels fortunate to be on the mend.

Shailene Woodley struggled with significant health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she described a time when she was losing her hearing, unable to walk for more than five minutes without needing to rest for hours, and experiencing constant stomach pain. She faced confusion due to conflicting diagnoses from different doctors.

Determined to find answers, Woodley, who has kept her specific condition private, combined traditional medical care with holistic and herbal remedies. This search for well-being spanned a decade.

She explained that the physical discomfort led to deeper issues, including fear of food and struggles with body image, identity, and feeling comfortable in her own body.

Ultimately, Woodley’s health improved, and she is now feeling very well. She shared that the issues resolved themselves, and she’s happy to be in a healthy place.
