Former US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, disclosed in a BBC interview that his father's prostate cancer has metastasized beyond the bones and is causing significant pain, according to a BBC "Newsnight" video posted on Friday. Hunter Biden stated that the cancer has spread to his bones and is "very painful" and "very debilitating in many respects."
The 83-year-old Democrat's spokesperson declined to comment on his son's interview. In May 2025, Biden disclosed that he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer, which had already spread to his bones when he left the White House in January 2021. A spokesperson confirmed in October that Biden was undergoing radiation treatment and hormone therapy.
Despite his age at the time of his 2020 presidential election, Biden's health and mental acuity were subjects of scrutiny during his presidency from 2021 to 2025. Biden served as Obama's vice president from 2009 to 2017 and is set to release his presidential memoir on November 17.
