Kurt Russell, celebrated for iconic roles in films like Escape from New York and Silkwood, is
facing health struggles linked to Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS), a rare genetic disorder that
increases cancer risk. This condition, marked by gastrointestinal polyps and skin lesions, has
led to painful ulcers under his lip. Despite the challenges, Russell’s career, spanning from
child actor to Hollywood star, remains untarnished. He recently took a step back from public
events for surgery, with fans and colleagues offering support. Russell’s experience has also
raised awareness of PJS, emphasizing the importance of early detection and medical intervention.
His enduring legacy continues to inspire.
