Commenting on pictures of the two of them together from the past decades, MacLachlan reports: “Forty-two years ago, David Lynch, for reasons unknown to me, brought me out of obscurity to play the lead in his first and last big-budget film. He clearly saw something in me “I owe my entire career, indeed my entire life, to his vision.”
Kyle MacLachlan, on the other hand, saw in David an “enigmatic and intuitive man” in whom “a creative ocean” bubbled. “He was connected to something the rest of us wish we could achieve.” The two’s friendship deepened while working on “Blue Velvet” and “Twin Peaks”.
For David Lynch, questions are more important than answers
“He wasn’t interested in answers because he understood that questions are the fuel that makes us who we are. They are our breath,” MacLachlan explains. The world has lost a “remarkable artist,” but he is mourning “a dear friend who imagined a future for me and enabled me to travel to worlds that I could never have imagined on my own.” The love between the two for each other is “the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best in each other.”
MacLachlan concludes: “I will miss him more than my language can express or my heart can bear. My world is so much fuller because I knew him, and so much emptier because he is no longer here. David, I remain forever changed […]. Thank you for everything.”
In August 2024, Lynch made it public that he had been diagnosed with emphysema. “It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and artist David Lynch,” his relatives wrote on Facebook on January 16th.
