Zoolander actor Ben Stiller has revealed that he was diagnosed with an ‘aggressive’ prostate cancer two years ago. In an essay published by Medium on Tuesday, the actor/writer/director says that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago.
In between doctor appointments, Stiller says he began hitting Google to learn about his illness and to see who else had it. “John Kerry… Joe Torre … Excellent, both still going strong. Mandy Patinkin… Robert De Niro. They’re vital,” he says about finding the names of the well-known survivors of the disease. One thing he learned? “Not to Google ‘people who died of prostate cancer’ immediately after being diagnosed with prostate cancer).”
