Bruce Campbell, star of Evil Dead, says he has five years to live after cancer diagnosis

Euronews Portugal8 September 2026 at 10:11

Bruce Campbell, the American actor known for his role in the Evil Dead saga, publicly revealed that he has been given approximately five years to live following a cancer diagnosis. The movie star shared this information during an interview, addressing his health condition publicly for the first time.

Campbell had already revealed the diagnosis in March, when he explained that he was suffering from a form of cancer that is "treatable" but not "curable." This distinction between treatable and curable suggests that the disease is chronic and that treatment aims to control symptoms and slow progression, rather than completely eliminate the disease.

The actor, who is also known for his work in television series and his partnership with director Sam Raimi in the Evil Dead franchise, did not specify what type of cancer was diagnosed. The revelation of his limited life expectancy marks a significant escalation in how the actor has spoken publicly about his condition.
