Bill Clinton Looks Unrecognizable — Bandaged, Shaking, and Barely Standing at NYC Marathon

The once-mighty Slick Willie, now a frail shadow of his Arkansas swagger, shuffled into the spotlight again, this time with a massive bandage plastered across his nose like a neon sign screaming "health crisis ahead."

Former President Bill Clinton, 79, appeared at the New York City Marathon on Sunday with a giant bandage covering his nose while awaiting daughter Chelsea Clinton at the finish line.

The reason for the bandage remains unknown.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton stood together as Chelsea competed in the race.

Photographers captured Clinton embracing his daughter at the end.

Clinton has faced multiple health setbacks over the past two decades.

He underwent quadruple bypass surgery and an operation for a partially collapsed lung years ago.

In October 2021, Clinton spent six days hospitalized at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange County, California, for a sepsis infection.

Last year, he was admitted again with a fever.

During campaign stops for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, Clinton appeared unhealthy. His hand trembled visibly on the trail.

"It was due to aging and not Parkinson’s," Clinton previously stated when addressing the tremor.

Earlier this year, Bill and Hillary Clinton attended a New York book signing for their title "The First Gentleman."

Clinton looked frail upon arrival.

Bystanders shouted greetings as he shuffled to the entrance, where Hillary signed autographs.

At one point, Clinton grasped a pole to steady himself.

There you have it, America: the ex-commander-in-chief, bandaged and wobbling, a walking reminder that time—and perhaps karma—catches up to even the most Teflon-coated politicians.
