Fans of Sir David Attenborough have shared their sadness following his statement concerning his longevity in his new Disney+ show Ocean.
The beloved broadcaster, who joined the BBC full time in 1952, has been at the forefront of nature documentary-making for the entirety of most viewers’ lives.
However, in the upcoming Ocean – released on May 8 to coincide with his 99th birthday – Sir David makes a sobering admission about mortality as he looks at how important aquatic life is to sustaining our planet.
‘Final time on location’
That’s because, according to The Sun, Sir David mentions he is “nearing the end of his life”.
The trailer for Ocean shows Sir David speaking by the shore as a blustery wind surrounds him. It is believed the feature-length doc may be the final time he goes on a location shoot for a TV show.
