David Ramsey has finally opened up about his secret battle with cancer.
The 54-year-old actor recently appeared in Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside you podcast, in which he revealed that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer years ago.
Explaining why he hasn’t revealed his diagnosis, the Arrow Star said, “I mean, listen, there’s a part of my personality that’s generally a little bit more, a little bit laid back and ‘Hey, as it comes, it comes and I enjoy it.’ I love it. Period, no problem.
“That’s how I see the world and it has worked for me,” he added. “I think that is reflected in the fact that I don’t really share the story.”
The Blue Bloods actor added that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell his story.
“It’s just not really my personality,” David clarified. “Now there has been an increase in cancer cases in recent years, and we should talk more about that.”
The actor added that his approach to acting has changed after his cancer diagnosis, and now he is more grateful for the roles he has won.
“You go back to acting and say, ‘Oh, you know, you’re a guest star and now it’s my time.’ It’s just not my perspective. My perspective is, ‘This is fucking amazing, man,'” David said. “That’s always my perspective. All the time.”
