Judi Dench is opening up about her harrowing eye condition.
The English actress, who is about to turn 91 on December 9, is detailing life with advanced macular degeneration
Dench appeared on ITV on Nov. 25, alongside longtime friend Ian McKellen and said she “can’t see anymore.”
The “GoldenEye” actress, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2012, confessed that she can’t read or watch television.
“You don’t [see me on camera anymore] because I can’t see,” explained Dench. “I’ve got, you know, that thing.”
McKellen, 86, who starred opposite the Hollywood vet in 1979’s “Macbeth,” teased that people could still see her.
“Yes, and I can see your outline and I know you so well,” Dench responded. “But I can’t recognize anybody anymore.”
McKellen asked the actress if she ever approaches “total strangers and say, ‘Lovely to see you again‘,” which got a laugh out of Dench.
She cheekily replied: “Sometimes!”
In January, Dench got candid on the difficult eye condition, explaining she can’t go out alone anymore.
