In a BBC interview, Hunter Biden reported that former President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread to his bones and is causing significant pain, while noting the president remains active.
Hunter Biden told the BBC that his father, former President Joe Biden, is dealing with a progression of his prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bones and is causing considerable pain and debilitation. He said the illness is "very painful" and "very debilitating in many respects," but added that the 83-year-old former president continues to be active and engaged.
Joe Biden was first diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025 and has undergone hormone therapy and radiation treatment. In the same interview, Hunter Biden expressed gratitude for the presidential pardon he received in December 2024, which cleared his federal gun and tax convictions.
"I am the most privileged person, as it relates to that, that there could possibly be," Hunter said, describing his feelings about the pardon.
The former president has not publicly detailed his current health status beyond the information shared by his son.
