Steve McQueen Reveals 2022 Prostate Cancer Diagnosis, Advocates For Early Screening

Director Steve McQueen revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022, just before shooting “Blitz.” The “12 Years a Slave” filmmaker, 55, underwent surgery to remove a small tumor and is now “fully recovered and fully functional.”

Steve McQueen delayed filming by two weeks for the procedure, keeping his diagnosis private from the cast and crew. He returned to work shortly after, determined to continue filming the war drama starring Saoirse Ronan and others.

Now an advocate for early cancer screening, Steve McQueen, whose father died of prostate cancer, emphasizes its importance, especially for Black men, citing alarming statistics to raise awareness.

Prayers up for him??
