21 Celebrities With Chronic Illnesses

Alec Baldwin

18. Alec Baldwin

Baldwin first became relevant on the television scene when he appeared on seasons 6 and 7 of the CBS television drama Knots Landing where he played the role of Joshua Rush. He spiraled toward fame from there, landing roles in movies such as BeetleJuice, The Marrying Man, The Shadow, The Aviator, and the romantic drama The Cooler, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

However, where there’s light, there’s dark as well. Even though Baldwin was silent about his condition for a while, he announced in 2011 that he was struggling with a chronic form of Lyme and that the most common symptom he was faced with was feeling fatigued at the same time every year. Although it’s a well-known disease, it is hard to completely remove all the symptoms, even with successful treatment.
