BRIGITTE Bardot has reportedly been rushed to hospital again in Toulon just weeks after her last stay.

The 91-year-old film icon is said to have arrived at Saint-Jean Hospital about ten days ago and remains under care.

According to Nice-Matin, she was previously transferred to the same clinic in October, when she reportedly underwent “surgery as part of treatment for a serious illness.”

Bardot returned to her home in La Madrague after nearly two weeks of hospitalisation at the time, fuelling intense speculation, including false reports of her death.

She pushed back then in a message on X, writing: “I’m fine.

“I don’t know which idiot started this ‘fake news’ about my disappearance tonight, but know that I’m fine and I have no intention of bowing out.”

German outlet Bild reports Bardot has been back in the Toulon facility for ten days, though the reason for this latest admission is unclear. 

In recent years, the star has spoken openly about health problems.

Shortly before her 90th birthday, she told La Parisienne: “I can hardly walk anymore, I’m dependent on crutches, and dancing is very difficult for me.”

Bardot was hospitalized in 2023 after a respiratory arrest.

Her October hospitalisation similarly set off death rumours, spread by an influencer in a now-deleted post.

Bardot herself dismissed the claim at the time, saying: “I don’t know who the idiot is who spread this ‘fake news’ about my passing, but you should know that I am fine and I have no intention of saying goodbye.”

French actress Brigitte Bardot first appeared on screen in 1952 with The Girl in the Bikini, a role that launched her to major stardom.

She stepped away from filmmaking in 1973 to focus on her animal-rights foundation. 

Throughout her career, she cultivated a provocative public image, from her beachside bikini moment at Cannes in 1953 to posing nude for Playboy on her 40th birthday.

Married four times, Bardot first tied the knot to actor Roger Vadim (1952–57), then to Jacques Charrier (1959–62), followed by Gunter Sachs (1967–69).

 She has been married to Bernard d’Ormale since 1992.

She added: “Every one of us has our own fight.

“Christy reminds us strength doesn’t have to look loud sometimes, it’s just about getting up again and again no matter who is watching.

“Playing her taught me it isn’t the end of the story, it’s about re-claiming it.

“And to every young girl out there I hope that you know your power is already within you.”

In her latest film, Christy, she learned to box to play US pro fighter Christy Martin — the first female boxer to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
