In a BBC interview, Hunter Biden revealed that his father, former President Joe Biden, is suffering from prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Despite his illness, Biden remains active. The interview also highlighted Hunter’s gratitude for the controversial presidential pardon that erased his federal gun and tax convictions.
Hunter Biden told the BBC that his father, former President Joe Biden, is now dealing with a progression of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, resulting in significant pain and debilitation. While Hunter described the illness as 'very painful' and 'very debilitating in many respects,' he also claimed the 83-year-old former president remains active and engaged, despite mounting health concerns that raise questions about transparency and fitness for public life.
Joe Biden was first diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025 and has undergone hormone therapy and radiation treatment—privileges and access to elite medical care not available to average Americans. In the same interview, Hunter Biden expressed gratitude for the presidential pardon he received in December 2024, which wiped away his federal gun and tax convictions. This pardon, granted by his own father, has been widely criticized as an abuse of power and a glaring example of political favoritism.
'I am the most privileged person, as it relates to that, that there could possibly be,' Hunter admitted, highlighting the Biden family’s ability to evade consequences that ordinary citizens would face. The former president has not publicly disclosed further details about his health, continuing a pattern of secrecy that has characterized his administration and family.
