Sam Neill wants to change the narrative of his recent blood cancer diagnosis, assuring fans that his stage three angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma is in remission and that’s “alive and kicking.”
“My news seems to be all over the news at the moment, and it’s sort of ‘Cancer! Cancer! Cancer!’ which is slightly tiresome because as you see, I am alive and well and I have been in remission for eight months, which feels really good,” the “Jurassic Park” actor said in a video posted on Instagram. “And I’m alive and kicking and I’m going to work.”
After assuring fans that he is doing well, the “Hunt for Red October” actor also revealed that he is “very happy” going back to work in a week to begin production on “Apples Never Fall” alongside Annette Bening.
