Kurt Vogel Russell, a renowned American actor, started his screen career at the young age of twelve, showcasing his talent in a western series. His exceptional performance in Mike Nichol’s Silkwood earned him a nomination for a Golden Globe in 1983 for Best Supporting Actor.
Russell was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to Bing, an artist, and Louise Julia Russell, a ballerina. Recently, there has been distressing news regarding his health. It has been reported by The Globe that the 65-year-old actor, known for his role in the movie Hateful 8, is facing a virulent flesh-eating sickness. This condition has caused unattractive ulcers to develop under his lower lip, resulting from Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS), which has been linked to colon cancer.
People with PJS have a lifetime risk of cancer as high as 93%, according to Net. These ulcers are described by Dr. Stuart Fischer, who does not treat Kurt, as “precancerous lesions that can become aggressive and dangerous if not treated immediately and properly.”
Despite his health challenges, Kurt Russell’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame stands proudly, although he is unable to attend due to a surprise medical issue. In a recent statement, the actor emphasized the need for surgery, which his doctor confirmed as a necessary and immediate treatment that cannot be postponed.
Let us come together and offer our prayers and support to Kurt Russell during this difficult time. His immense contribution to the entertainment industry has left an indelible mark, and we hope for his speedy recovery.
