Stanley Tucci, an American actor, recently revealed his battle with oral cancer.
The 62-year-old actor spoke with Willie Geist on an April 30 episode of the Sunday Sitdown about his late wife, Kate Spath-Tucci, who died from breast cancer in 2009 at the age of 47. He also described his emotions following his diagnosis in 2017:
“My late wife and I traveled all over the world in search of a cure for her.” So I was quite surprised when I received it. “I was terrified. Terrified, terrified, terrified.”
The Devil Wears Prada star previously revealed that a tumor at the base of his tongue “was too large to operate on,” leaving him only with “high-dose radiation and chemotherapy” as treatment options. His treatment was described as “brutal” and “awful.” He continued, saying:
“I lost 35 pounds.” Nothing tasted good to me. I was fed through a feeding tube for six months, and everything tasted and smelled like you-know-what. It took me months, months, months to be able to eat and taste normally again.”
Stanley Tucci used to smoke but does not anymore
In 2013, Stanley Tucci admitted to Cigar Aficionado that he enjoyed quality tobacco but had quit smoking at the time:
“I haven’t smoked one in quite a while.”
He reminisced about his cigar-related experiences, saying:
“It was a gift from someone, and it was absolutely delicious.” I smoked a lot of cigarettes for a while and then quit. I adore it—and I crave it.”
During the conversation, Tucci mentioned that his grandfather used to smoke De Nobilis cigars.
“They were smoked by all of the Italian immigrants.” They appeared in groups of four or five, and no one knows what material they were made of. I tried them a few times and had no idea how he smoked them; they tasted like compacted excrement.”
Stanley Tucci became interested in tobacco through his friends Oliver Platt and Aidan Quinn. Quinn allegedly taught him how to smoke cigars. The actor from Lovely Bones described his favorite cigars as changing depending on the time of day, what he had eaten, the temperature, or whether it was consumed as an after-dinner drink.
“I don’t mind a good cigar.” It is similar to Scotch in that it should not be overly peaty. You only need a trace of peat, not the entire bog.”
He continued, saying that he used to smoke cigars after supper while writing or fishing in reservoirs near his house:
“Because of my grandfather, cigars represent a true working-class person, but also someone of affluence.” I’m not sure if there’s anything in the middle. “I suppose you’d call it a cigarette.”
Citadel is currently in theaters and stars Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Ashleigh Cummings, Roland Mller, Lesley Manville, and Caoilinn Springall.
