Needs walker
This “Harry Potter” star is considered disabled
British actress Miriam Margolyes has made it public that she has a disability certificate.
The 83-year-old 'Harry Potter' actress, who played the role of Professor Sprout, admitted among other things that she has difficulty walking as she gave an update on her health.
She also revealed that she regrets not making serious changes to her life after undergoing surgery in 2023. Last year, she received a transcatheter aortic valve replacement to avoid more invasive open heart surgery.
Needs a walker
Margolyes told the Closer that she suffers from spinal stenosis - a condition that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves: "I can't walk very well and I'm registered as disabled, so I take all the help I can get. I have two canes and a rollator and they are so boring."
However, she also has an electric scooter, which is a lot more fun.
"Fat and 82 is pathetic"
She also added in the interview that she wished she had lost weight and that she considers it a defeat not to have done so.
She previously said on the "How to Fail" podcast, "I'm a blubber mass. I'm fat. And being fat and 82 years old is really pathetic."
Fear of becoming in need of care
Margolyes also shared her fears about ageing, saying she was worried she wouldn't be able to afford good care if her health deteriorated. She told 'Radio Time': "I worry that I won't have enough money for caregivers if I'm paralyzed at some point, or whatever happens to me."
