Brigitte Bardot Allegedly Hospitalized
According to reports, the global screen siren and one of Europe’s most enduring cultural icons has been admitted to the hospital, raising new worries around the world.
The renowned French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot was taken to a facility in Toulon on October 16, 2025, after becoming ill at her cherished Saint-Tropez house. The 91-year-old legend is still being watched by doctors.
Engaging in a Presumed Operation
Nice-Matin, a French publication, claims that Bardot has been dealing with a “serious illness,” but no other details were disclosed. She is thought to have had surgery and has been recuperating at the hospital for the past three weeks.
Although the specifics of her sickness have not been made public, doctors are reportedly keeping a careful eye on her. Bardot’s representatives were contacted by The Daily Mail for comment, but as of right now, no formal statement has been provided.
Given her prior health scares, this most recent hospitalization has rekindled worries about her long-term health.
During the current crisis, a previous breathing issue reappears.
Paramedics were dispatched to Bardot’s Saint-Tropez estate in July 2023 after she suffered a respiratory crisis as a result of the intense heat.
In a public statement, her husband, Bernard d’Ormale, described the incident:
“Brigitte started having respiratory difficulties at around nine in the morning. Although she was breathing more forcefully than normal, she remained cognizant. We’ll call this a respiratory distraction moment.
After giving Bardot oxygen, medical personnel stayed at the house for a while, and he eventually recovered. “Older people are particularly susceptible to the severe summer weather in the South of France,” said D’Ormale, who has been married to the actress since 1992.
Only two years later, the couple is once more dealing with uncertainty, and everyone is eagerly awaiting news.
Bardot’s Quick Ascent to Stardom
Brigitte Bardot was born on September 28, 1934, and grew up in a working-class household. Her mother urged her to take dancing and music lessons after spotting her early talent. She began modeling and making appearances in Elle Magazine at the age of fifteen.
In the French films “Crazy for Love” and “The Girl in the Bikini,” she made her big-screen debut in 1952. By 1953, she had found her way into the American market with “Act of Love,” starring Kirk Douglas.
With parts in “His Father’s Portrait,” “Royal Affairs in Versailles,” “Concert of Intrigue,” “Caroline and the Rebels,” and numerous other films solidifying her fame both domestically and internationally, Bardot’s appeal only increased.
She quickly became a darling in the United States due to her distinct blend of beauty and sensuality, and her picture started appearing on magazine covers all over the world. She became known as the “sex kitten,” and her pictures contributed to the expansion of French cinema’s popularity in the United States.
A Last Curtain Call, Then a New Mission
Her 1956 film “And God Created Woman” became the highest-grossing foreign film in the US at the time despite being heavily censored. However, Bardot left acting in 1973, just before turning forty, despite her enormous fame.
After playing her last part in “The Edifying and Joyous Story of Colinot,” she shockingly decided to quit. Because she was constantly being pursued by photographers and fans, she had become tired of being famous.
She so turned her focus to animal rights advocacy and founded the Foundation Brigitte Bardot, which now works to promote the protection and well-being of animals around the globe.
Bardot had a diverse private life in addition to her public profession. Roger Vadim (1953–1977), Jacques Charrier (1959–1963), and Gunter Sachs (1966–1969) were her three previous spouses before d’Ormale.
The world is waiting for positive news from the South of France regarding a woman whose influence on film and culture is genuinely indelible, while she is still being monitored in a clinic.
