0:00It's April 29. You're listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered pop-culture updates. I'm Corey with The Story. Sam Neal, the 78-year-old Jurassic Park star, just shared he's cancer-free after battling stage 3 blood cancer. He joined an Australian clinical trial for C-A-R-T cell therapy, which tweaks a patient's own blood cells to fight the disease. This came right after his regular chemo-stop working. Neal first opened up about his diagnosis in his 2023 memoir. Back then, he was promoting Jurassic World Dominion when swollen glands led to the bad news. He switched to the trial when things look grim. Through it all, Neal stayed grateful, saying the tough times made him cherish every day and his friends even more. He kept busy writing that book to fill the void of not working since he thrives on being around people. A fresh scan confirms no trace of cancer left in his body. Now he's pushing hard for this therapy to reach more blood cancer patients down under.
