Patrick Swayze Calls Condition a “Miracle”

Asked about his health, Swayze, 55, gave photographers a thumbs-up.

“I’m a miracle, dude,” he said. “I don’t know why.”

The actor is currently filming
in Chicago for his new series, A&E’s The Beast.

He plays an FBI veteran in the show, slated for the 2009 schedule.

“I have searched for quite a long time to find a character that is this multi-layered, unpredictable and downright entertaining, as well as a project this current and cutting-edge,” he said in a statement.

Shortly after his diagnosis, his Red Dawn co-star Lea Thompson told Usmagazine.com that the actor would put up a good fight.

“I’ve known him for so long, he’s a great guy, and I love him so much,” she said.

“He was such a great dancer,” she added. “He will be resilient — us dancers are tough!”
