Brigitte Bardot Hospitalized Again in November 2025: Details and Public Reaction

The team representing the legendary French actress, Brigitte Bardot, confirmed on November 25, 2025, that the 91-year-old screen icon had once more been admitted to a medical facility. This announcement was disseminated via her official Instagram account, which included an appeal for her devoted followers to offer prayers for her well-being. In immediate response to this concerning news that same evening, admirers gathered near the statue dedicated to the actress in Saint-Tropez to hold a collective prayer vigil for her recovery.

Reports circulating in the French media, notably from the newspaper Var-Matin, indicated that Madame Bardot was admitted to the Hôpital Saint-Jean in Toulon. She has reportedly been under care there for approximately ten days, suggesting an admission date around November 14 or 15. This marks the second time the 91-year-old star has required hospitalization during the autumn of 2025, signaling ongoing health challenges for the celebrated figure.

This recent admission follows an earlier health scare in mid-October. At that time, it was disclosed that she had undergone a minor surgical procedure related to an undisclosed but serious ailment, which occurred after she experienced malaise at her estate, La Madrague. Despite the initial seriousness implied by the October procedure, the Brigitte Bardot Foundation had previously provided updates suggesting a positive trajectory, and she was discharged on October 17.

Amidst the rising speculation concerning her current state of health, the cinema legend, famous for her roles in seminal films such as And God Created Woman, recently took to the platform X to actively refute rumors suggesting she had passed away. Bardot firmly stated that she was, in fact, doing fine and had no intention of giving up the fight.

Born in Paris in 1934, the celebrated actress transitioned her focus entirely to animal rights activism following the conclusion of her prolific film career, during which she starred in nearly 50 movies. Her deep commitment to animal welfare advocacy dates back to 1962. Her residence in Saint-Tropez, La Madrague—a property she acquired in 1958—has since become synonymous with her reclusive lifestyle, which is now primarily dedicated to the care and protection of wildlife.

The renewed concern over the health of the enduring star has naturally prompted widespread commentary across France and internationally. For many, Bardot represents not just a golden age of cinema but also a powerful, unwavering voice for conservation. Her public appearances are rare, making any official communication from her team, such as the Instagram post, a significant event for her global fanbase.
