The 82-year-old actor, best known for playing businessman Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, announced to his fans that he has received a cancer diagnosis.
While convalescing from knee replacement surgery, he received the heartbreaking diagnosis.
One of the most well-known actors in daytime television, Braeden, disclosed in a 13-minute Facebook Live session on Friday that he had prostate problems that later proved to be cancer. “I started having issues with my prostate while I was healing from the knee surgery,” he stated. “I apologize for being so direct, but I believe some older guys who might or might not listen to this could benefit from this. It will occur to them.
Following a successful UroLift surgery—a therapeutic option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—doctors were able to remove the malignancy. The actor, who was born in Germany, is currently undergoing a six-week immunotherapy regimen.
He said, “I’m feeling a little under the weather, but not really much.” “I’ve learnt to not push myself too hard and to pay more attention to my body. I will understand. And I’ll soon be back to my best.
“I’m going to lick this,” Braeden said. “I’m going to get it; this bastard isn’t going to get me.”
Regarding his almost 40-year tenure on The Young and the Restless, Braeden stated it’s what keeps him going. That’s where I am at the moment, he remarked. “I enjoy entertaining people by acting. I appreciate your help. Thus, offer your support to any family member who experiences this. It might succeed. You can survive cancer these days because to the tremendous advancements in cancer treatment.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Braeden revealed that performing helps him forget about his health problems and that he feels content when he knows he entertains others.
His character was originally intended to be a guest character on the show for eight to twelve weeks, but he has developed into the main male character in the soap opera.
We hope Eric Braeden gets over his health problems and wish him all the best that life has to offer.

Clint Eastwood, 93, makes rare appearance, worrying fans with “so different” look – “he’s unrecognizable”
Watching our favorite celebrities grow old can often be a strange thing to witness. Perhaps it’s because we see them steadily aging with every role, maybe it’s just because it reminds of us of our own mortality.
In any case, a recent sighting of Clint Eastwood certainly caused a stir after he attended a speaking event hosted by conversationist and primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall.
Frail Clint Eastwood is seen in rare public appearance
Clint Eastwood’s still going strong at 93! ❤️
Posted by Daily Mail on Friday, April 12, 2024
The event reportedly took place just a few weeks shy of Clint Eastwood’s 94th birthday. The location was the Sunset Cultural Center in Carmel-by-the-Sea, the city where Eastwood used to be mayor.
The legendary actor stepped out in a blue checkered flannel shirt, with gray slacks and sneakers, with long white hair and a bushy white beard.
Now, we hardly feel the need to say that Eastwood actually looking his age is nothing shocking, but there were a deal of people online who were taken back by the actor’s frail appearance.
One person wrote: “He’s unrecognizable! […] Age has obviously slowed him down just as it will most of us.”
“Aging is just so cruel,you’re a legend Clint,” another added.
“Is he ok omg!! He needs grooming help!” a third said.
“He should have at least shaved and gotten a haircut. He still looks strong though,” a fourth opined.
There were others who had nicer things to say about Mr. Eastwood, but the general feeling was one of surprise as to how he looks now compared to, say, just a few years ago.
As mentioned in the beginning of the article, the Million Dollar Baby legend is still working, with filming for what is expected to be his final film, Juror No. 2, having started last year.
“I love what I do,” Eastwood said in 2018. “I’ll probably keep on going. I feel good, but it depends on material. I probably wouldn’t do something just because it was marginal–I have to kind of think it has some validity and has some relationship to today. With a lot of other people, was it that their health went bad or did they just get bored with it? I often wonder, because I haven’t gotten bored with it.”
