French acting royalty Brigitte Bardot has been hospitalised with a serious illness, according to local reports.<\/p>\n
The actor, best known for roles such as And God Created Woman and Le M\u00e9pris, has reportedly left her home in Saint-Tropez to receive care in a Toulon hospital.<\/p>\n
Local publication Var Martin state that Bardot has been staying at the Saint-Jean private hospital in the region for the past three weeks, where she has undergone surgery.<\/p>\n
While the details of the surgery have not been reported, Var Martin report that the medical procedure was \u201cas part of a serious illness\u201d.<\/p>\n
The report continued: \u201cShe is expected to be released from the hospital in a few days but her condition remains worrying\u201d.<\/p>\n
During a rare interview in 2024 to celebrate her 90th birthday with the French newspaper Le Monde, Bardot provided an update on her life since stepping out of the limelight.<\/p>\n
She shared, \u201cMy isolation is a choice. It\u2019s a luxury. Silence. Being quiet, with very few people around. Having peace. Without a madding crowd around you. Without being put on display. Solitude, as I embrace it, has always been my dream, and now I embrace it, my dream. I am delighted with my current condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bardot, who is a renowned animal rights activist, also said of her off-grid living arrangements in the Var region of France, \u201cI don\u2019t need anything. The way I live, I have everything I need. I never want more than I have. I cook my own meals with natural things. Since I\u2019m a vegetarian, it\u2019s very easy. I\u2019ll tell you, I wear the same clothes I did when I was 50 \u2013 I\u2019m lucky to have kept the same figure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Bardot, who is a public supporter of far-right politician Marine Le Pen and has been fined for inciting racial hatred, courted controversy for denouncing the MeToo movement. She told BMFTV in a TV interview: \u201cFeminism is not my thing\u201d.<\/p>\n
Bardot continued, \u201cPeople with talent who grab a girl\u2019s bottom are thrown into the bottom of the ditch. We could at least let them carry on living. They can\u2019t live any more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
