Former President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread to his bones and is causing significant pain, his son Hunter Biden said in an interview with the BBC broadcast Friday.
Hunter Biden became emotional describing his father's condition, calling the situation difficult for the family.
"The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further," Hunter Biden said. "It's very painful and it's very debilitating in many respects."
He said the illness has been hard to witness, though the former president remains active and continues to speak publicly on issues he considers important. "It's really sad to watch," Hunter Biden said, adding that he wishes his father would complain more about his condition. "The only thing that I'd say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because it's not good."
Joe Biden, 83, was the oldest person to serve as president. His age and fitness became defining political issues during his term, particularly after his June 2024 debate performance against Donald Trump, when he struggled to complete sentences and appeared confused at several points. He ended his re-election campaign in July 2024 and endorsed Kamala Harris.
