Concerns about Warren Beatty’s health are not new.
After all, the 87-year-old has been a household name since the 60s, and now he rarely appears in public. So it stands to reason that there will be speculation about his general condition.
The latest round of fears over the screen legend’s well-being began back in March when he was absent from daughter Ella’s Broadway debut.
Warren Beatty’s Health: Are There Concerns?
The absence has led some outlets to observe that Beatty has not made a public appearance since 2022.
“Hollywood insiders can’t help but wonder if she’s healthy or very sick,” the insider said In Touch (via Yahoo! News).
“Everyone is starting to realize that he’s gone. Not being photographed for two years is a big deal,” said a separate source, adding:
“Warren is fragile and vain. He doesn’t want to be seen in public.
A third insider revealed to the outlet that he “heard he forgot a lot.”
Which is understandable at the age of 87. And Beatty is certainly not the first actor of his generation to retire from the limelight.
Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, and others have also left Hollywood life.
And Beatty’s decision may have been prompted by the debacle that occurred during one of his famous last public appearances.
The Oscar incident
When Beatty and his Bonnie and Clyde costar Faye Dunaway presented the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2017, they announced La La Land as a champion.
confident, Moonlight actually won the top prize of the night. Fortunately, the error was cleared up after a few minutes of confusion.
But years later, Beatty and Dunaway are still being unfairly blamed.
“The presenters were mistakenly given the wrong category envelope and when it was discovered, it was immediately corrected,” said the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers in a statement received by USA Today in time.
“We are now investigating how this happened, and it is very sad that it happened.”
Obviously, Beatty and Dunaway are both living legends. And his legacy cannot be destroyed by a freak accident.
But it’s not hard to see how that mix-up can lead people to permanently swear off public appearances.
In any event, Warren’s 32-year marriage to Annette Bening is one of the most revered in Hollywood.
And at this stage in his life, Warren would probably prefer to stay home and enjoy his family.
It’s a privilege they’ve always earned, and we wish them all the best.
