Actor Bob Saget had recently spoken about his battle with Covid-19 prior to being found dead in a hotel room.
Actor Bob Saget Spoke About Suffering From Covid Prior To His Death-‘I Had It’
Bob’s death at the age of 65 sent shock waves around the world, given that he was performing his stand-up comedy tour while this tragedy had occurred.
And in the period prior to that, it became clear that Bob had been also trying to navigate the virus which had clearly taken a toll on his health.
During an interview on the ‘A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan podcast, Bob spoke on his struggles with Covid. He said: “It is not good, it does not feel good. I had it.”
But just as his personality suggested, Bob did not make a big deal out of it. Instead, he chose to recover and keep this to himself as a way to not worry others about what could have happened.
And one way in which he did that was to try to make it into a joke. Cleary, his comedic nature even shone through during some of the worst moments of his life.
He added: “[We] were working together. I think at one point, omicron was opening for delta. But then omicron got so big, delta’s opening now for omicron.”
Bob’s Covid diagnosis was also confirmed by a member of the audience in one of his stand-up shows, who had stated that the late actor had been suffering.
And yet, given that he was known for putting on such a brave face, it was not noticeable that Bob was struggling with the virus. In this way, he was trying to put on a brave face for everybody around so that their comedy tour would not be disrupted.
And this was a testament to the type of man Bob was which is why he was so endeared by those around him. A source told People magazine the following: “He said he had recently gotten COVID, maybe less than a month ago.
“You really couldn’t tell.” Bob may no longer be here, but he has created plenty of memories to last a lifetime. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
