How did they misquote him, then? It’d be nice if the agent was specific in how it was misunderstood/misrepresented.

This is being denied by his agent. See here: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/12/ian-mckellen-does-not-have-prostate-cancer-agent-says/

My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 3 years ago. He then went into high research mode and decided in the end to switch to an all vegan diet. His PSA numbers have improved and he’s still living and otherwise quite healthy. He’s become a raging fundamentalist evangelical vegan, though, which is a bit disconcerting. (I’ve teased him that he’s become a China Study thumper.)

Here’s wishing your father well with or without massive changes in dietary “religion”. ;)

Here’s to many more years with Sir Ian around.
Apologies for the poor video quality, but this is a favorite bit of mine from Extras (and it doesn’t have the annoying ads that eBaum’s has!)

Fortunately, most men die *with* rather than *of* prostate cancer.

“he remains diligent and hopeful for his chances at a full and lengthy life”

I wish him all the best, but if he hasn’t had a full life yet, what the hell chance do I have? :-)

I imagine that with an enlarged prostate, “You! Shall Not! Pass!” takes on a whole new meaning.
