HALL’S AGE OBSESSION OVER CANCER DIAGNOSIS
MICHAEL C. HALL was "bemused" when he was diagnosed with cancer at the ag e of 38 - because he had an obsession with dying at 39.
The Dexter star was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year (09) bu t it was announced in April (10) that the illness is in remission.
And Hall admits he reacted strangely to news of his diagnosis - because he often wondered if he would live longer than his father, who died from prostate cancer when he was aged 39.
Hall tells the New York Times, "I think I’ve been preoccupied since I w as 11, and my father died, with the idea of the age 39: ‘Would I live tha t long? What would that be like?’. To discover that I had the Hodgkin’s w as alarming, but at the same time I felt kind of bemused, like: ‘Wow. Huh .. How interesting.’"
