The 'Big Lebowski' actor - who also celebrated his 71st birthday on December 4 - has given fans an update on his condition after revealing in October that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma.

Alongside a photo uploaded to Instagram showing his shaved head, Jeff lay back with an adorable dog on his lap and smiled for the camera.

He wrote: "Here’s the latest:

"Feeling good

"Shaved my head

"Got a puppy - Monty

"Had a Birthday - 71, man (sic)"

After his diagnosis, Jeff was inundated with thoughtful messages and admitted at the time that all the love he has received feels like "some kind of positive virus".

He wrote on his website: "This cancer thing is bringing on feelings of precociousness & gratitude & good old fashion love & lots of it, big time. I'm feeling so much of it comin' my way, & man I appreciate it.

"It's contagious, all this love, like some kind of positive virus. I want to acknowledge & thank you guys for reaching out during this time. It feels good, getting all the well wishes & love!

"This cancer is making me appreciate my mortality, appreciate impermanence.

"I'm realizing if I have s*** to share, now's the time. (sic)"

In October, he announced he was starting treatment for the cancer, which develops in the cells of the immune system known as lymphocytes.

He rolled back the years as his iconic character The Dude from 1998 movie 'The Big Lebowski' to update his fans on his health, and admitted that "the prognosis is good".

Jeff wrote: "As the Dude would say.. New S*** has come to light. I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good.

"I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery."
