"I found prostate cancer six or seven years ago," said a 73-year-old actor. Fortunately, according to McKellen, the tumor grows slowly, and there is no metastasis: "When you have a tumor, you must constantly observe the doctor. If the tumor is only in the prostate gland and does not apply, then nothing is terrible. "
"Many, many men died from this, this is one of the types of cancer, which is completely treatable. I constantly check the tumor for distribution. I did not treat her. At my age, this diagnosis is not a threat to life. " Despite other health problems in such a mere age, problems with hearing and cataract, McCellen considers himself a rather lucky and sensible person. "I'm fine, thank you! I was lucky, I did not hurt, "the actor joked. And in many ways it is due to the active lifestyle of the actor. - I regularly engage in Pilates, I recommend it to everyone in my age. In the subway, I always go up the escalator, I have a house with a lot of stairs, it is also a good exercise.
Recall, the last work of Jena McCellen became the role of Gendalf in the film "Hobbit: an unexpected journey", which is released on December 19.
