Sir David Jason has shared an incredible health update. The 83-year-old Only Fools and Horses star confirmed in August that he had been fitted with bionic eyes to stop him from weeping uncontrollably.
The actor has also reportedly recently undergone hip surgery, which may explain why he was seen using crutches in new footage. However, it turns out that this was all a ruse. In the video, Sir David can be seen hobbling in front of a garage before suddenly throwing his crutches aside and striding towards the camera as the Rocky theme tune plays in the background.
Fans were delighted as the actor then began to punch the air and flex his pecs in a hilarious display. The clip, which was posted on the Only Fools and Horses News Twitter account, was captioned with a message encouraging fans to show Sir David some love.
According to MailOnline, Sir David had indeed recently undergone hip surgery. He had previously spoken about his eye surgery after he was forced to pull out of an Only Fools and Horses convention due to his health.
Sir David shared that he had a 'canalicular bypass', and went on to explain that a blockage had caused his eye to become 'weepy'. He said that Jones tubes were inserted to fix the problem, but they had a tendency to come out.
The actor then joked that when speaking to an eye specialist, 'the ghost of my early years as a jobbing electrician awoke'. He then went on to explain that he had to have a re-fit two years later, and the doctor showed him the latest tubes hot out of the factory which had flanges on them to hold them in place.
Sir David is best known for playing Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses, and fans couldn't be happier to hear that he is doing well. The Agency has reached out to Sir Jason's reps for comment.
