Exclusive: Neill underwent chemotherapy after being diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma
Did I Ever Tell You This?, the 75-year-old Jurassic Park star discusses his career in film and television, the nature of celebrity, life on his New Zealand farm, and mortality, having opened his book with a shock.Neill started writing vignettes from his life as a way to keep busy – and as a salve – while undergoing treatment last year.
“I never had any intention to write a book. But as I went on and kept writing, I realised it was actually sort of giving me a reason to live and I would go to bed thinking, ‘I’ll write about that tomorrow … that will entertain me.’ And so it was a lifesaver really, because I couldn’t have gone through that with nothing to do, you know.”
