‘Twin Peaks’ Director David Lynch Fears Leaving Home After Emphysema Diagnosis
Hollywood movie director David Lynch revealed that he is housebound after being diagnosed with emphysema caused by years of smoking.
The 78-year-old screen legend said in an interview that he cannot risk getting COVID or even a cold by leaving his home.
Lynch, who helmed such classics as Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks and Eraserhead, will never direct again—at least not on set. “I would do it remotely if it comes to it,” Lynch told Sight and Sound magazine, adding, “I wouldn’t like that so much.”
