Brigitte Bardot Dismisses Death Rumors, Affirms She's "Doing Well"

On October 22, 2025, legendary French actress Brigitte Bardot, 91, took to social media to dispel rumors that she had passed away. In a straightforward post on X (formerly Twitter), Bardot wrote in French that she does not know "which fool launched this fake news" about her death, but assured her followers that she is "doing well" and has "no intention of taking [her] leave."

Bardot's statement comes as a rare update on her health and well-being. In 2023, it was reported that emergency services had visited her home in Saint-Tropez, France, after she began experiencing breathing problems. More recently, Bardot's press office revealed that she had spent three weeks in the hospital for a minor surgery and a "serious illness," before returning to her home in Saint-Tropez last week.
