"Star Wars" actor David Prowse diagnosed with "Prostate Cancer".
He said: “I’m undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, would you
believe. I’m having my very last treatment this morning. I’ve had two
months of radiotherapy at the Royal Marsden (in London), it’s the most
fantastic hospital.
“The only thing I’ve had is hot flushes. I’ve also lost some of my
hair on my legs and the hair on my chest has all got very fine. But
other than that I’ve had no after effects.”
Although Prowse portrayed Vader in the movies, the legendary baddie’s
voice was added by American actor James Earl Jones.
Prowse, 73, told the show he felt "fantastic". David Prowse, who wore Darth Vader's black armor in the original Star Wars movies, revealed that he is battling prostate cancer but is responding well to radiotherapy treatment for his illness, according to a report in the British Daily Mail newspaper.
Originally a bodybuilder, Prowse played the Dark Lord in all three original films.
Producers decided not to use his West Country English accent for the role, instead giving Lord Vader's lines to deep-voiced American actor James Earl Jones.
