Academy Award winning actor Robert De Niro, 60, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but his prospects for a full recovery are good, his publicist announced on Monday.

"DOCTORS SAY the condition was detected at an early stage because of regular checkups," publicist Stan Rosenfield said in a statement. "Because of the early detection and his excellent physical condition, doctors project a full recovery."

 

De Niro won an Oscar as best actor in 1981 for "Raging Bull," and was named best supporting actor in 1975 for his role in "The Godfather: Part II."

 

The native New Yorker, who shot to prominence in Martin Scorsese's 1973 film "Mean Streets," has received four other Oscar nominations as best actor in "Cape Fear" (1991), "Awakenings" (1990), "The Deer Hunter" (1978) and "Taxi Driver" (1976).

 

He was last seen in movie theaters reprising his comic turn as mobster Paul Vitti in the film "Analyze That" with Billy Crystal.

I heard about this earlier.

 

Why can't cancer get into the balls of people that, you know, actually DESERVE it?...

Cancer can't do anything to his balls. Him and Al Pacino are ball cancer's worst enemy.

I am glad they found this early.

 

I hope he turns out alright -- he is one of the greatest actors of our time.

Yeah ditto on that. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mr. Deniro. And may I say, Bobby not winning an Oscar for "Deer Hunter" is ridiculous. Who won it over him?

Nevermind....read the article.

Bar none my favorite actor ever. Considering it was detected very early, though, he should be fine.

Also for playing a Vietnam Vet

 

I guess the wheelchair pushed the voters in his favor

 

Personally I could've done without the scene of him going down on Jane Fonda as well...

Thank god it was discovered early. The last thing we need is De Niro dying after this shitty year.

whatever year De Niro dies = shitty year

Jesus. Yet Carrot Top is still in perfectly good health.

 

Who's idea of justice is this?

[Guest ShamRock]

That'd be shitty if he did die. He's my favorite actor and IMO, the greatest of all time. His performance in Taxi Driver was phenomenal. He should've won the Oscar.

 

I hope he rocovers fast.
