FULLY RECOVERED

During the ’90s his popularity declined and he practically did not participate in any new project. His deteriorating health kept him away from the screens.

The diagnosis of a rare type of cancer T-cell lymphoma was the result of his discomfort. After aggressive treatment, he had a brief recovery followed by a relapse.

Fortunately, his strong faith and strict chemotherapy managed to eradicate all cancer cells in his body and in 1999, at the age of 46, he was officially declared in remission.

STILL POPULAR

During the years following his recovery, Mr. T has been devoted to his reality show “I Pity the Fool.” This name comes from his character in “Rocky III” who says it while challenging boxer Rocky Balboa in the film.

In the show, he travels from place to place giving advice, encouraging people, and teaching them to cooperate with each other. He has also appeared in commercials eventually, but his greatest effort is devoted to motivational work.
