Paul Newman Diagnosed with Cancer

Paul Newman has reportedly been diagnosed with lung cancer.
The ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ actor has been suffering from the potentially fatal disease for several months and just weeks ago had to pull out of directing a big-screen adaptation of John Steinbeck’s book ‘Of Mice and Men’.
A friend of the actor - who used to be a chain-smoker - told the National Enquirer magazine: “We have known he is seriously ill for several weeks but his loved ones are being very protective and saying very little.”
The legendary actor was reportedly diagnosed with the cancer at the New York’s Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, a few hours drive from his Connecticut home, where he lives with his wife Joanne Woodward.
In March, a cancer patient claimed he had regularly seen Newman at the hospital.
He said: “He’s been there a lot, he’s even worked out in the waiting room, doing the squat thrusts. Last time, he was in there he had a long beard. Joanne is there waiting for him and being very sweet with the assistants.”
However, his spokesperson played down his hospitalization, saying Newman was “being treated for athlete’s foot and hair loss”.
Sad situation, hope the story isn’t true. HOWEVER, I doubt he’s being treated for hair loss - ha!

It’s sad he has no privacy. This man has always been considered one of the most beautiful people in Hollywood. Yet, he’s been married to the same woman for about 40 years without scandal. I’ll pray for him.
