The original source isn&#8217;t known for being especially reputable and later a spokesperson said the report was taken out of context. Then the spokesperson pointed to McKellen&#8217;s participation in the New Zealand premiere as proof of his health. Problem was, he wasn&#8217;t at the Wellington activities making the situation even more confused. Finally, McKellen himself has cleared things up <a href=\"http:\/\/mckellen.com\/writings\/activism\/121212-prostate-cancer-rumours.htm\" target=\"_blank\">on his website<\/a> and that seems an authoritative source.<\/p>\n<div id=\"stationery\">\n<blockquote><p><em>There have been new reports in the press of the old news that I have early prostate cancer.\u00a0 This was diagnosed six or seven years ago.\u00a0 There is no cause for alarm.\u00a0 I am examined regularly and the cancer is contained.
