Dennis Hopper has been diagnosed with cancer.
Dennis Hopper’s manager, Sam Maydew, made the announcement, Thursday.
The 73-year-old actor has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and is cancelling all travel plans to focus on his cancer treatment. This includes, according to The Huffington Post, cancelling an appearance at an exhibition of his artwork and photography at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne.
The star is best taking some time to himself and stepping out of the limelight. Hollywood is not the most forgiving place. As we saw with Patrick Swayze and other celebrities this Summer being ill and perhaps being best left alone is not enough to get the press off your case.
His treatment is said to include a special programme at the University of Southern California. No further details are available about the actor’s health or treatment at this time.
