After receiving a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and undergoing four surgeries, comedian Richard Lewis announced his retirement from stand-up.
The 75-year-old “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actor, who is renowned for donning all-black and acting out his neuroses, posted a video to Twitter on Monday outlining his various medical conditions.
He stated that he had “a sort of rocky time” for the previous three and a half years as a result of hip and shoulder replacement surgeries.
He underwent a brain scan as well because his feet were shuffling while he was walking. He was diagnosed as having Parkinson’s disease by medical professionals. Fortunately, I discovered I had it late in life, and they claim you only ever make very slow, if any, progress. As a result of taking the appropriate medications, I’m fine. My stand-up performance is over. I’m concentrating solely on my acting and writing. ”.
“Robin Hood: Men in Tights,” “Leaving Las Vegas,” and “Vamps” are just a few of Lewis’ big-screen credits”.
Additionally, he has made appearances on a variety of TV programs, including “7th Heaven,” “George Lopez,” “BoJack Horseman,” and “Dr. Katz, a Certified Mental Health Counselor. ”.
