Bono is asthmatic.
Asthma doesn't have to keep you from living your life to the fullest. There are many successful people with asthma who have learned to manage their symptoms well enough that it hasn't stopped them from achieving their dreams, even when these dreams involved breathing-intensive activities like singing and sports. Just ask these five celebrities with asthma:
- Eminem: Wait. Slim Shady has asthma? Apparently so: According to his mother, Marshall Mathers has been suffering from respiratory illnesses since early in his life, and has always been asthmatic. Somehow, the rapper has managed to curb his symptoms so thoroughly that he's able to spit rhymes without even pausing for breath.
- Jessica Alba: "I had really bad asthma and was in hospital a lot from the ages of four to 12," Alba says, and she also once suffered from a collapsed lung. Alba is one of the female actresses who is the most open about her condition, discussing it regularly in interviews.
- Amitabh Bachchan: The godfather of Bollywood cinema keeps an inhaler in his pocket "at all times", he admits. Impressive for a man whose acting career relied for a long time on his physical dynamism and ability to pull off action-movie stunts.
- Bono: The U2 singer has asthma, and so does one of his children. That doesn't stop him from singing lead vocals or from throwing himself whole-heartedly into humanitarian work.
- Pink: Her booming voice might throw you off, but the pop star, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, has suffered from asthma since she was very young. A strict fitness regimen and impressive breath control help spare her singing career from the effects of asthma symptoms.
