However, the actor still wanted to apologize with his relatives who discovered his illness in the press. He thus published a long text on his Instagram account on Sunday November 3, 2024.

It’s cancer… Every year, around 2 billion people around the world are diagnosed with this. And I’m one of them. There is no manual for announcing these things, but I planned to talk about it at length with the magazine People shortly… to raise awareness and tell my story my way. But that plan had to be changed early this morning when I was informed that a tabloid was going to publish the information“, first underlined James Van Der Beek. “I’ve dealt with this privately until now, undergoing treatment and focusing on my overall health with more attention than ever before. I’m in a good situation and I feel strong. It was a real initiation, and I’ll tell you more when I’m ready“, then added the former star of the series Dawson.
