Glenn Close was spotted using a cane at the La Bola Negra premiere during 2026 NewFest on October 15, and five days later, she revealed why she is using one.
Glenn Close has reassured fans that she is doing well after sparking health concerns when she was spotted using a cane.
Just five days after she was photographed using a cane at the La Bola Negra premiere during 2026 NewFest at SVA Theatre in New York City on October 15, the 79-year-old actress took to Instagram to share a video revealing that she was recovering from hip replacement surgery.
The three-time Golden Globe winner said: “I wanted to just hop on and thank you for all of your love, and to explain why I have a cane.
“I have a cane because I have had a complete hip replacement. Found out that my left hip was in really bad shape.
“And my whole thing right now is to keep myself in running order so that I can really leap into whatever challenges come my way.
“So I’m hovering around on a cane for now.”
Glenn added that she hopes to jet out to London on October 26 to attend the premiere of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, before flying to New York for the season two premiere of the Disney+ legal drama All’s Fair.
The Fatal Attraction legend continued: “So I hope to be fully present there, and maybe not running around going up mountains, but at least my good old self.”
Glenn concluded: “So, love to everyone. Don’t worry. I’m feeling great. I have my wonderful, wonderful family around me, and I look forward to all the adventures coming, so love to everyone.”
The 101 Dalmatians icon captioned the post: “A needed explanation. Love to all.”
Fans flocked to the comments section to wish Glenn well, as one penned: “Best of wishes and good health to you. God bless you.”
A second supporter typed: “Sending you lots of love and healing energy your way!”
And a third follower wrote: “Sending strength! Excited for the many adventures that lie ahead.”
