Dennis Hopper Rushed To Hospital

Dennis Hopper was rushed to a New York hospital by an ambulance Wednesday afternoon (September 30), according to his publicist Sheila Feren.

According to ET, the 73-year-old Oscar-nominated actor was wearing an oxygen mask and had “numerous tubes visible” at the time of his hospital admission.

Hopper reportedly had developed flu-like symptoms. He was in town to publicize the second season of his television series Crash, which airs on Fridays @ 10PM ET/PT on Starz.

Get well soon, Dennis!

gabby, celebrities get sick just as much as other people and,in this case, this is a man in his 70’s we are talking about and a man with a very “crazy” life so to speak.

I hope this douche gets well, the image of him wearing an oxygen mask reminds me of his character in Blue Velvet,.Great movie, btw.
