Famous director David Lynch<\/a><\/span> explained in a recent interview that he has emphysema, a lung disease that causes shortness of breath. He blames this on his love of smoking and tobacco. But despite rumors that he was retiring, Lynch says he has no plans to do so. <\/p>\n

Lynch released Eraserhead<\/em>, his first feature film, in 1977 and since then has made a name for himself as a director behind many surrealist, quirky, and strange films and TV shows that often contain a lot of heart and passion. Famously, he helped create the bizarre and beloved mystery show Twin Peaks<\/em><\/a><\/span> in the 90s and returned to the series in 2017<\/a><\/span> for a critically acclaimed third season. However, Lynch\u2019s last feature film was released in 2006 and it seems it might be a while before we get another movie from the famous director. <\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Sight and Sound <\/em>magazine<\/a><\/span>, the 78-year-old director said he had been diagnosed with emphysema and that the disease affects his ability to move around, meaning he might only be able to direct future films and TV shows remotely. <\/p>\n

When word of this got out online, people began speculating that he was going to completely retire, but the creator denied this in a post on Twitter following the interview, saying \u201cI will never retire\u201d and reassuring his fans that he was doing fine. He also explained that his lung disease was directly caused by his \u201cmany years\u201d of smoking cigarettes. <\/p>\n
