As a gamer who grew up in the ’90s and ’00s, I’ve always felt a connection to James Van Der Beek as Dawson from Dawson’s Creek. But now, hearing about his battle with colorectal cancer has put things into perspective. It’s a stark reminder that even our favorite celebrities are human beings who face challenges, just like us.
James Van Der Beek has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
The 47-year-old actor from “Dawson’s Creek” shared with People over the weekend that he has been quietly managing a health issue and has been taking appropriate measures to overcome it, with the help of his amazing family.
He added, “There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good.”
According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is another term for cancer that originates in either the colon or the rectum.
From 1998 to 2003, James Van Der Beek was famously recognized as Dawson in the TV series “Dawson’s Creek”. Since then, he has made appearances on shows such as “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23”, “CSI: Cyber” and “Pose”. On the silver screen, his movie roles include those in “Varsity Blues”, “Texas Rangers”, “The Rules of Attraction”, “Formosa Betrayed” and “Labor Day”.
Towards the end of this year, Beek is set to join forces with Anthony Anderson, Taye Diggs, NFL star Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, and Bruno Tonioli (a judge on “Dancing With the Stars”) in Fox’s “The Real Full Monty,” a two-hour special. This event aims to increase understanding about prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer screenings and research. The climax of the show will feature the group putting on a striptease performance. This program is modeled after a series of British television specials with a similar theme.
As they approach the grand unveiling, the participants will test their boundaries of comfort, decency, and camaraderie through a sequence of rehearsals and encounters, some private and others public. These activities are intended to boost their self-assurance, transport them away from their familiar surroundings, and fortify their unity as a team. Additionally, throughout this journey, each celebrity will reveal their personal accounts about how cancer has influenced their lives.
