What a bummer. I like him as an actor.
Article:
“In March 2023, Sam Neill revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer, describing it as ‘a ferocious type of aggressive’ non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
However, in April of this year, he announced to the media that he was cancer free after undergoing CAR-T cell (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) therapy.
‘We’ve just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body, that’s an extraordinary thing,’ Neill told Australian outlet 7 News.
In the statement from the actor’s family, they confirm that Neill ‘remained cancer free’, describing his death as ‘sudden and unexpected’.
Neill’s family says: “It is with immense sadness that the whānau [extended family] of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney, Australia.
‘Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life.
‘The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free.
‘They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care.’
‘More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”
Great actor! Thanks for your talent 💕
If you haven’t watched Hunt For the Wilderpeople, do so asap. It might use be his best role. RIP.
He was my favorite part of that movie. Jeff Goldblum got all the love later in life for being a heartthrob, but Alan Grant was the heart of that film.
I followed Sam on Instagram, reveled in his stories about making wine and raising pigs. I also managed read his Autobiography even though it was almost impossible to find it in the states. I was a big fan of his later in life. What a hell of a loss, I’m devastated.
Goodbye Dr Grant. ❤️
