Harrison Ford canceled Oscar gala: Belt rose is concerned with him!

Harrison Ford, the renowned actor and star of the film world, canceled his planned appearance at this year's Oscar gala at short notice. The reason for this is an unexpected illness that was found on Friday at the 82-year-old. Ford suffers from Gürtelrose, also known as herpes zoster, which makes it impossible to participate in the glamorous event, such as radioeuskirchen.de reported.

The actor took part in the previous Sunday at the awarding of the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, which may have been increased stress of his state of health. Ford became known for his appearances in numerous classic films and was announced as a prominent helper for the Oscar event. With its cancellation, the gala loses an important face and an important personality from the film industry.

belt rose: an underestimated risk

The shingles that were diagnosed with Ford is caused by the Varicella Zoster virus, which also triggers chickenpox. This virus remains in the body for life after a chickenpox infection and can be reactivated when the immune system is weakened. This risk is particularly high for older people and those with a weakened immune system. It is estimated that about every third in the course of their lives, and from the age of 85, even every second person is affected, such as the AOK explained.

Some symptoms of belt rose include a painful rash, which usually occurs on a half of the body and can often be seen in strip -shaped patterns. The disease is most frequently manifested on the fuselage or chest, but can also occur in other body areas. Ford itself is currently being treated medically to relieve the effects of the disease.

Mark Hamill as a replacement presenter

After the announcement of Ford's disease, the Academy Mark Hamill has confirmed the new presenter for the Oscar gala. Hamill, known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" saga, will fill the gap that leaves Ford's failure. The 97th Academy Awards promises an outstanding line -up even without Ford, with a variety of other prominent helpers, including Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Halle Berry and Oprah Winfrey, to name just a few.

The chosen stars should not only enrich the event, but also reflect the deeply rooted Tradition of the Oscars. Despite the absence of Harrison Ford, the gala will be a big event in the film industry and will captivate the spectators worldwide.
