12 Celebrities you didn’t know had cancer – This will shock you! (With Pictures)

9. Robert De Niro

It is very surprising to learn that Robert De Niro was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but he’s clearly the kind of person who won’t let anything get him down. It seems like the man is always working on new movies, so I had no idea that he had any sort of medical problems, let alone cancer. Doctors detected Robert De Niro’s prostate cancer in its very early stages. That and the actor’s great physical condition allowed him to successfully beat the disease. Other than admitting that he was diagnosed and optimistic about his prognosis, De Niro took care of himself away from the public eye and continued to be the consummate professional that everyone knows and loves.
