Radio presenter Chris Evans has told his radio listeners he is now cancer-free. The 57-year-old, who started his broadcasting career working for Manchester's Piccadilly Radio, revealed that he has been given the all clear eight weeks after being diagnosed with skin cancer.
He told listeners of his Virgin Radio UK Breakfast Show in August that he had been diagnosed with the early stages of skin cancer and that he had caught it quickly meaning it was "as treatable as cancer can possibly be”. On Wednesday (September 20), the radio presenter told listeners that he had lost a night of sleep over an email he had received about the cancer that was removed from his leg.
He said: "I didn’t sleep, hardly at all last night … two or three hours.

But I never thought for a second you could lose a night’s sleep because of an email like this.”

The wedding festivities aren’t over for Chris Evans and Alba Baptista!
Chris Evans and Alba Baptista were joined by some of their nearest and dearest to celebrate their recent marriage.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Early in his career, comedian Kumail Nanjiani did a bit about a new drug called “cheese,” which, if you break down the ingredients, turns out to be Tylenol PM mixed with heroin. “So really, it’s heroin,” he joked. “Heroin’s doing the heavy lifting.” That line was going through my mind as I watched “Pain Hustlers,” a garish and, yes, mostly painful Big Pharma satire from director David Yates, who (“The Legend of Tarzan” aside) spent the last 15 years making increasingly convoluted Harry Potter movies.
Netflix’s Pain Hustlers is a largely fictionalized tale of a very real world, and rather eye-opening, business: selling an easy fix for what ails us, even if it leads to addiction and death. Although the names have been changed, the characters invented although inspired for some by actual cases and people, the original source material is all too real. Based on a New York Times article of the same name by Evan Hughes and then developed as Hughes was turning his research into the book, “The Hard Sell: Crime And Punishment At An Opioid Start-Up”, screenwriter Wells Tower has fashioned a riveting, if disturbing scenario brought to life by director David Yates who was looking for a less fantastical tale to tell other than the Harry Potter movies he was directing. He found it, and also his way into what might be quite a shocking expose of just how far of a grift some in big pharma business and the medical community may go in order to make a buck at the expense of our own well being and health. It has its World Premiere tonight at the Toronto Film Festival.
