Australian actor and singer Johnny Ruffo, famed for playing Chris Harrington in Home and Away, has sadly passed away aged 35 following a lengthy battle with brain cancer. Now a resurfaced interview has circulated, showing the heartbreaking moment the actor vowed to stay alive until Christmas 2022. The Australian star, who was also an X Factor Finalist, tragically passed away on Friday 10 November at a hospital in Sydney surrounded by his family and partner Tahnee Sims.
But an old interview shows he actually lived far longer than he ever hoped. Following the return of his terminal brain cancer after it went into remission in 2017, the singer told 7News last year he wanted to be around to see Christmas 2022 - as it was due to be a special occasion. Speaking to 7News, Johnny said: "My brother lives in Ireland now so I haven't seen him for three years and he's coming home for Christmas and I honestly can't wait to see him.
"We're thick as thieves. Honestly, he is my hero. He is everything to me.
And I cannot wait to see him. I don't know how I'm going to react, I cannot wait, he's everything." Johnny lived to enjoy Christmas in 2022 with his family and for almost another year until he sadly passed away on Friday 10 November 2023. Johnny was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017 after seeking help for painful migraines.
In 2019, he announced his cancer was in remission but the following year it sadly returned. Last year, the star confirmed his cancer was terminal. Johnny has been documenting his cancer battle online along with his partner Tahnee, 29, who he began dating back in 2015.
