Sadly, the actor revealed a colorectal cancer diagnosis in 2024, having dealt with it privately since 2023.
Just last year in December, the star told NBC6: « It’s been the wildest, hardest journey I’ve ever had in this lifetime. It’s required more patience, more discipline, more strength than I knew I had, quite frankly. But there’s also been a lot of beauty in it. »
While he revealed he was living more intentionally since his diagnosis, he also warned that colorectal cancer can strike silently, and urged people to get checked.
« I think the biggest misconception is the same one I had, which is that you need to have something seriously wrong with you to get screened for colorectal cancer. You don’t. You can have no symptoms and still have cancer, » he said. »There wasn’t any red flag or something glaring, » he admitted. « I was healthy. I was doing the cold plunge. I was in amazing cardiovascular shape, and I had stage 3 cancer, and I had no idea. »
One sign that led to him getting screened was minor changes in his bowel movements.
