James Van Der Beek Battles Colorectal Cancer
On November 8th, it was revealed that James Van Der Beek, known for his roles in Dawson’s Creek and Varsity Blues, is fighting colon cancer. Despite this challenging situation, the 47-year-old actor remains hopeful as he has been actively working, with his recent notable performances being Boris in Disney’s animated series, Vampirina (2017-2021). This optimism is largely due to the support of his family. In an interview with PEOPLE, Van Der Beek expressed his positive outlook on life.
I’ve been handling a recent diagnosis on a personal level, making progress towards resolution, all while being encouraged by my amazing family. There’s a sense of hopefulness, and I’m feeling positive about the situation.
- Localized (cancer hasn’t spread outside the colon or rectum) 91%
- Regional (cancer spreads to nearby “structures or lymph nodes” outside colon and rectum) 73%
- Distant (cancer spreads to “distant” body parts, including lung, liver, and distant lymph nodes) 13%.
- Combined SEER Stages 63%
This year marked the 25th anniversary for the movie “Varsity Blues,” and Ali Larter recently shared with MovieWeb reminiscences about filming this 1999 production alongside her co-stars like James Van Der Beek, close friend Amy Smart, and the late Paul Walker. In a candid interview, Larter discussed the cast during a heartfelt conversation:
I sincerely hope James fares well. It’s been a while since we last met. Amy Smart remains one of my dearest friends, and before our Varsity Blues days, we were even roommates in Milan. That experience was truly unforgettable… Speaking of which, we’ll forever miss Paul [Walker]. Losing him is an inevitable part of life, but it doesn’t make the pain any less.
Remember, fans can preorder Mox’s Varsity Blues jersey, which can be autographed by James Van Der Beek at jvdb.shop right now. And for those who haven’t seen the classic sports drama, Varsity Blues is now streaming for absolutely free on Pluto TV and is also available on Paramount+.
