'Shogun' Actor's Health Issues Explained

The highly anticipated FX limited series Shogun on a ton of Golden Globes Sunday night.

But for some fans, the joy of discovering an epic new series has been tarnished by reports of actor Cosmo Jarvis' illness.

Questions about Jarvis' health circulated on social media, but as is so often the case on Twitter/X and elsewhere, the truth of the situation was obscured by a jumble of misinformation.

Fortunately, Jarvis has spoken openly about his condition, so it's not difficult to separate the facts from the scaremongering lies.

Cosmo Jarvis illness: what is the actor's state of health?

Jarvis suffers from type 1 diabetes and he has been admirably candid on the subject of his health, admitting that he experiences times of anxiety and depression due to his condition.

“I think I was just (filming) and probably telling someone I didn't want to celebrate my birthday because I'll be dead in 10 years,” he says dryly. He surprises me. » Jarvis once said THE Tutorby adding:

“Type 1 diabetes catches up with you.”

Jarvis went on to say that his health issues forced him to rethink his relationship with technology.

“It goes against my philosophy, because I hate technology and everything it entails, but I depend on it to some extent to survive,” he explained.

“I fully accept that without technology, diabetics and anyone suffering from any illness would be the first to die,” Jarvis added.

“It is then a question of trying to debate: where is the limit between technology in the name of excess and technology in the name of satisfying basic human needs?

Cosmo's Rise: British star becomes international phenomenon

Although born in the United States, Jarvis spent most of his years in the United Kingdom, where he has been a well-known actor and musician for several years.

Now, thanks to Shogun and his work in films like Lady Macbeth And PersuasionJarvis' star is on the rise internationally.

As a result, many new fans are interested in the 34-year-old's personal life.

The situation could be a mixed blessing for Cosmo, who has thus far vigilantly guarded his private life.

Jarvis is believed to be married, but nothing is known about his alleged wife, and it doesn't look like the actor will open up any time soon.

Cosmo's desire for privacy makes his willingness to speak publicly about his diabetes all the more commendable.
