Jurassic Park star Sam Neill announces he has cancer. Shocking memoirs
Actor Sam Neill, known for his role in the "Jurassic Park" films, revealed in his memoirs that he is being treated for stage three leukemia.
"The truth is: I'm sick. I might be dying. I'm going to have to hurry," he wrote in the first chapter of "Did I ever tell you this?", which the actor wrote while he was receiving chemotherapy.
During an interview with the British newspaper "The Guardian", the actor said that his health condition is improving, but he will have to continue treatment until the end of his life.
"I can't pretend I haven't had my share of dark moments over the past year," he added, after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2022.
And the British New Zealand actor continued: "But those dark times bring out the light," expressing, "Happiness is that I am still alive."
Sam Neill, 75, is best known for his role as paleontologist Alan Grant in three of the "Jurassic Park" series, the first of which was in 1993 under the direction of director Steven Spielberg.
The actor, who began his long career in front of the camera in the 1970s, is preparing for a new role in a TV movie based on the novel by Australian Lianne Moriarty.
