“Does Harrison Ford have cancer?” asks the National Enquirer.
The tabloid’s headline screams “Cancer Scare,” with the article claiming the actor “has what several top medical experts believe could be a malignant skin tumor on his nose.”
“And while the blemish — likely a basal cell carcinoma, according to doctors — is not life-threatening, Harrison could soon face surgery that might threaten his image as a Hollywood leading man!” declares the magazine.
According to the Enquirer, Ford’s wife Calista Flockhart is “concerned.”
“Harrison usually takes these things in stride,” explains a so-called “insider,” adding, “But Calista is much younger than Harrison, so she naturally worries about his health.”
Fortunately, Ford’s health is not a matter of actual concern.
Instead, it’s just another example of a tabloid looking for any excuse to exaggerate a less serious problem into a “scare.”
A rep for Ford tells Gossip Cop that while the actor did have a benign basal cell carcinoma removed, he’s perfectly fine and no one is anxious about his health.
