The Jaws legend, 77, stunned fans by dropping out of SharkCon — just hours before it began!
Dreyfuss appeared visibly unwell in a video from bed, saying he has viral bronchitis.
“I’m in a lot of pain,” Dreyfuss shared. Doctors told him no flying allowed.
He was scheduled to fly to Florida — but said a 5-hour flight is off-limits.
SharkCon attendees were ready for autographs and photo ops with the Jaws star.
“I’d feel worse if I got anyone else sick,” he admitted in his emotional message.
Svetlana Erokhin, Dreyfuss’ wife, thanked his “great fans” and promised: “He’ll see you soon.”
In typical Dreyfuss humor, he quipped, “Feel very sorry for me... and for yourselves!”
SharkCon promised full refunds for prepaid autographs and photos.
Celebs joined fans in wishing the Oscar-winner a speedy recovery.
Jeffrey Voorhees, John Putch, and John Dukakis kept the jaws legacy alive!
