What illnesses did Kurt Russell suffer from?

Share this:

American actor Kurt Vogel Russell, known for his many iconic roles, began his television career at just 12 years old in a western series. His incredible performance in Mike Nichols’ 1983 film Silkwood earned him a Golden Globe nomination, cementing his place in Hollywood.

Kurt was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, to ballerina Louise Julia Russell and actor Bing Russell. Recently, rumors have surfaced that Kurt is battling a serious illness called necrotizing fasciitis, also known as the flesh-eating disease.

This severe condition, caused by various bacteria, can rapidly spread and cause significant tissue and organ damage if not treated immediately.

The 65-year-old actor, best known for his role in The Hateful Eight, made headlines due to strange sores on his lower lip.

These sores are linked to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), a rare genetic condition that increases the lifetime risk of cancer by 93%. Dr. Stuart Fischer, a well-known physician, warned, “These lesions could become hazardous if not treated effectively and promptly.”

Dr. Gabe Mirkin, an immunologist from Maryland, also emphasized the need for quick diagnostic action to start treatment as soon as possible.

The sores on Kurt’s lip, believed to be caused by PJS, require careful management. The syndrome can lead to the development of polyps in the small intestine that may turn cancerous if left untreated. Early detection and management are crucial in reducing this risk.

Kurt was set to be inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers in Oklahoma City in October. However, a sudden medical issue led to the cancellation of his appearance. According to The Oklahoman, Kurt is scheduled to undergo hip surgery.

Recently, Kurt was spotted in New Orleans with scratches and bruises on his face and arms, fueling speculation about his battle with the flesh-eating disease. Despite this unexpected health issue, Kurt has taken swift action to ensure his recovery.

Even if he can’t attend the ceremony in Oklahoma City, his name will always shine brightly on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a testament to his remarkable career and achievements.
