Campbell took to Instagram to share a post with a lengthy message, informing that he has been diagnosed with cancer. He began by addressing the situation in general terms, saying that when someone faces a health issue, it is often described as an “opportunity,” and he is choosing to stick with that. While confirming that he has cancer, Campbell noted that it is “treatable” but not “curable.” He knows that this news might come as a “shock” to many, as it did to him.

He added, “The good news is, I’m not going to go into any more detail. I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change – appearances and cons and work in general need to take [a] back seat to treatment.” He expressed hopes to get well soon over the summer so that he gets the chance to tour his new movie, Ernie & Emma.

Campbell further revealed that there are several “cons” this summer that he was required to cancel in light of his treatment. This is because he firmly believes that treatment and “professional obligations don’t go hand-in-hand.”

Revealing why he chose to go public with his diagnosis, he added, “That’s about it. I’m not trying to enlist sympathy – or advice – I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will).”

“Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-b***h and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you’re the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!” he stated, reassuring fans concerned over his health.
