Actor Hopper has prostate cancer

 

Dennis Hopper is also an accomplished writer, director and artist

Actor Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is cancelling all forthcoming appearances to focus on treatment, his manager has said.

 

Sam Maydew revealed the star is undergoing a "special programme" of treatment in California, adding, "we're hoping for the best."

 

Earlier on this month the 73-year-old was admitted to hospital in New York.

It was disclosed the Easy Rider star was treated for severe flu-like symptoms and dehydration.

 

Hopper had been expected to appear at an exhibition in Australia, entitled Dennis Hopper And The New Hollywood, which was a collection of his artwork and photography.

Tony Sweeney, a spokesman for the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, said: "Obviously his health is the number one priority and we wish him a very speedy recovery."

 

The Oscar-nominated actor, who is also an accomplished writer, director and artist, is also known for films including Blue Velvet and Apocalypse Now.

 

He is currently appearing in a TV adaptation of the 2004 Oscar-winning film Crash.

Thank fuck you included the photo in your post. It really banished any pre-conceived perceptions i had of Hopper (with or without cancer).

There is a new theory that on a long enough timeline, all men get prostate cancer. Some researchers see it less as a disease and more of a consequence of having longer lifespans than ever. Naturally, this is not always true--it can strike relatively young men too. But think of the shit dumpster of substances Dennis has been in his life. But, he turned Republican and old and has had access to the best health care a dollar can buy so he's made it to 73 when no one with his youth should have made it so far.

yeah i said that already.

good point!

true though big man.

a cheerful doctor once told me and my family at the hospital... 'everyone gets cancer... eventually' [big cheesy smile].

which is exactly what i said first, ages ago, near the very beginning of this thread, early in the morning... then you said it with more authority (and words lol).

c'm'ere!

Are you guys trying to imply that Dennis Hopper is Bearataur? WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? Bearataur's cancer is no laughing matter, and this isn't the time to make such juvenile jokes about him.

'out of the blue' is a classic.. if only he had directed more films that were this good

Fuck. FUCK. FUUCK!!

baby wanna fuck?
