Yes we noticed that....amazing man sad to see him looking like that. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.

He doesn't look particularly well in that clip :worry: he is very flushed

Amazing man :love:

...my heart just stopped beating for a moment...

...is this a recent vid, User...?....

Today

...I’ve just read this, it’s apparently been mentioned on Twitter as well...


David Attenborough has never confirmed the exact reason that his eye closes, but there is a chance it could be unilateral ptosis. This is also referred to as “pathologic droopy eyelid.” It can come on as a result of trauma, a medical disorder, or age. It is likely David Attenborough’s is a result of the latter. It is a very common condition for people in their older age.

Some fans were concerned that David had had a stroke and his left eye closing was a result of brain damage. This, however, is unlikely, as David has never addressed whether he’s had a stroke.

At 94-years-old, David Attenborough is still remarkably healthy and active. Travelling the world to do big presenting gigs might take it out of anyone, but David seems relatively unphased by the job at hand.

Wow 94 eh. He will be 95 in May apparently. Xx

not bad for 94

but im not a fan

Not a fan of David Attenborough? Why?

Well, he's 94.
Such an amazing man. :love:

How can you not be a fan :fist:

He got my mum a birthday card for her 40th.

I send an animal card I knew she'd like (a holographic tiger) to his address with a SAE and a little letter, and he was kind enough to sign it and send it back :)

My God that’s amazing

It looks like a little hand has punched him In the eye or something, something he may be used to out in the animal world.

:joker: maybe a bush baby socked him one

Awww

i'm not a fan either, but i do wish him well

:think:
