Sir Billy Connolly, the renowned comedian, has given an update on his health and insisted that he is “doing great” in his battle with Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with a decade ago.
Despite suffering from the degenerative disease, Billy, who is now 80, is still loving life.
The comedian said he is grateful that only the left side of his body shakes and thinks he is doing great, adding that there are people who are doing worse than him.
However, the funnyman admitted that on some days he thinks he is doing fine, and people offer to help him as they might have spotted something wrong with him.
Billy, who is a father-of-five, said that he has seen a lot of people who have given up and are no longer excited by anything, and it’s a dreadful trap to fall into.
He also admitted that his hair is falling out, but he vowed he will never get a wig, as there’s nothing sadder than a bad wig, and people are panicking because of the signs of growing old.
Billy advised people to accept what is going to happen and just be themselves.
Despite his ongoing health issues, the star says he has a “lovely life”.
He stepped away from the comedy circuit in 2018 due to health struggles but has continued to work on other projects, including a new career as an artist.
Billy said he’s an old guy and doesn’t mind it.
He added that he can pee in the bed, leap onto the floor at a wedding and do all sorts of magic steps without being shameful.
Billy’s positive outlook is inspirational, and his refusal to let his health issues define him is a testament to his strength of character.
Despite his ongoing health issues, he remains a beloved figure in the world of entertainment, and his fans will undoubtedly be happy to hear that he is still loving life.
