AceShowbiz - Dolph Lundgren, 67, was seen on Friday, November 29 in Beverly Hills with his wife, Emma Krokdal, whom he married in July 2023. It marked his first outing since he declared himself cancer-free after years of battle.
He appeared in good spirits, wearing a casual black hooded sweatshirt and printed shirt underneath, black shorts, leggings, and sneakers. Krokdal wore a vibrant red sweatshirt, black leggings, ankle boots, and a burgundy purse.
The couple visited a salon before leaving for another destination. Lundgren's positive attitude and newfound freedom from cancer have inspired his fans worldwide.
The Swedish-born actor was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2015, but the cancer returned in 2020, and he was given only 2-3 years to live.
Lundgren underwent a minimally invasive lung ablation procedure on Wednesday to remove the last remaining tumor. In a video posted to Instagram before the procedure, he said, "Here I am at UCLA, I'm about to go in and get rid of that last tumor... Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I'll be cancer-free, so I'm looking forward to this procedure."
Lundgren had previously speculated that his use of steroids for bodybuilding may have contributed to the cancer. He said, "I tried steroids back in the 80s, 90s... I don't know if that is something to do with the cancer, of course it struck me as it could have something to do with it."
Following a change in treatment, Lundgren's tumors began shrinking significantly. He said, "You just appreciate being lucky enough to be alive, and you appreciate every moment there is."
