A true Broadway legend 👏⁠ ⁠ John Lithgow has made Tony Awards history at the age of 80, winning Best Leading Actor in a Play for his performance in Giant.⁠ ⁠ The win comes 53 years after he picked up his first Tony in 1973 for The Changing Room, before later winning again in 2002 for his leading musical turn in Sweet Smell of Success.⁠ ⁠ Now, more than five decades on from his first win, Lithgow has secured his third Tony and reportedly become the oldest man ever to win a competitive acting Tony Award 🙌⁠ ⁠ #tonyawards2026 #ladbible
