‘Rocky IV’ Actor Dolph Lundgren Says He’s “Finally Cancer Free” After Being Given 2-3 Years To Live


After being diagnosed with cancer that was considered terminal, the Rocky IV actor has revealed on Instagram that he's "finally cancer free."

Lundgren, who also starred in The Expendables 4 and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, first revealed that he had cancer in 2023, on the syndicated interview series In Depth With Graham Bensinger. After surgery, he remained symptom-free for about five years but during a doctor visit during a trip to Sweden in 2020 was found to have additional tumors in the kidney and liver areas. Eventually Lundgren sought an additional opinion from oncologist Dr. Alexandra Drakaki of UCLA Medical Center, and was placed on a more recently-developed medicinal treatment.
