The Bold And The Beautiful Alum Pierson Fode Reveals A Scary Illness: ‘I’m Not Dead’

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) alum Pierson Fode (Thomas Forrester) recently opened up about a health scare that he had and that he tried to keep under the radar from his friends and his fans. The handsome actor took to his social media account to update his fans on his status, his whereabouts, and what’s next for him in his future.

In a rather lengthy Instagram post, Pierson wrote, “I’m not dead! I’m actually quite far from it now. Although over the last month and a half I managed to have a few beers and ponder life with ol’ grim reaper. I wasn’t going to share anything but that damn little square in my shirt was in so many photos. It keeps reminding me that maybe this can give someone else in a similar state hope. This photo sums up the feeling. That square was a heart monitor for the doctors to track blackouts related to brain trauma. Exciting I know;)
maybe one day I’ll make a film about it. Imagine if everyday your life was like the lovechild of memento and a drug-free, fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Talk about a fun rom-com.”

Pierson added, “I just wanted to say how grateful I am to be back to myself. Thankful for everyone that reached out, even if I was unable to respond. Grateful for my friends and family who encouraged me and gave me hope along the way (that was very needed). Grateful to the doctors. Grateful for the life I get to live. Our life here is short be sure you don’t take it too serious, cut out the negative, and have a damn good time while you’re at it.”

A lot of Pierson’s friends on social media were rather surprised by his post and commented that they had no idea that he was going through so much.
