Paul Newman has lung cancer?


The 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' actor has been suffering from the
potentially fatal disease for several months and just weeks ago had to pull
out of directing a big-screen adaptation of John Steinbeck's book 'Of Mice
and Men'.
A friend of the actor - who used to be a chain-smoker - told the National
Enquirer magazine: "We have known he is seriously ill for several weeks but
his loved ones are being very protective and saying very little."
The legendary actor was reportedly diagnosed with the cancer at the New
York's Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, a few hours drive from his Connecticut
home, where he lives with his wife Joanne Woodward.
In March, a cancer patient claimed he had regularly seen Newman at the
hospital.
He said: "He's been there a lot, he's even worked out in the waiting room,
doing the squat thrusts. Last time, he was in there he had a long beard.
Joanne is there waiting for him and being very sweet with the assistants."
However, his spokesperson played down his hospitalization, saying Newman was
"being treated for athlete's foot and hair loss".
Newman has previously denied reports he has cancer.
