The Evil Dead star, Bruce Campbell, revealed his cancer diagnosis.
Campbell made a post on his official X account stating that he has a type of cancer that is “treatable” but not “curable.” However, the actor remained vague and did not disclose what type of cancer he has. He wrote, “Hi folks, when someone is having a health issue, it’s referred to as an ‘opportunity,’ so let’s go with that – I’m having one of those. It’s also called a type of cancer that’s ‘treatable,’ not ‘curable.’ I apologize if that’s a shock – it was to me, too.”
The Army of Darkness actor said that he wasn’t looking for sympathy. Campbell explained that the reason he was announcing the news to the public was that it was going to affect his career. He stated that his treatment would be his biggest priority, and that he must cancel a few convention appearances this summer. He added that he was also making this announcement because he wanted to make sure that his followers had all the facts straight before any false information came out.
Additionally, Campbell revealed that he was still planning on touring with his new film, Ernie & Emma, in the fall. He stated in a prior interview with Forbes that he would be screening and answering questions about the project at several Alamo Draft House Cinemas from September to October. “I plan to get as well as possible over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie,” said the actor.
Ernie & Emma is a comedy drama that sees Ernie (Campbell), a retired salesman, navigating life after the death of his wife. Emma (Robin McAlpine). She leaves behind instructions for her ashes to be scattered in places that had sentimental value to the two of them. The movie will show Ernie’s emotional journey as he revisits the memories and milestones that shaped their marriage.
Campbell ended his post by reassuring his followers that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon and not to worry too much about him. The Bubba Ho-Tep star stated that he is a “tough, old, son-of-a-b****” who has a great support system, and he is confident that he will be around for a while. He also thanked his fans for all their love and support throughout the years and how much he appreciates them.
