Dolph Lundgren Defeats Cancer: A Rocky Icon's Remarkable Recovery!
DOLPH LUNDGREN'S LOVE STORY: FROM CANCER STRUGGLE TO WEDDED BLISS WITH 38-YEAR-YOUNGER BEAUTY!
In a shocking turn of events, Dolph Lundgren, the iconic actor known for his grueling Rocky IV role, has stepped out with his stunning wife Emma Krokdal in LA, just nine months after revealing he was cancer-free. The 67-year-old muscle man's romance with his 29-year-younger wife is hotter than ever!
Lundgren, who made headlines last year when he announced he had beaten the odds and overcome kidney cancer, was spotted looking dashing in a blue shirt and white chinos as he strolled through Beverly Hills with his gorgeous wife by his side. The Expendables star's better half matched him perfectly in a blue blouse and tiny shorts that showcased her toned physique.
It's no secret that Lundgren has had his fair share of romantic entanglements, but his whirlwind romance with Krokdal is one for the books! The couple began dating in 2019, but it wasn't until June 2020 when Lundgren proposed to her on a picturesque Greek island. They tied the knot at their stunning villa in Mykonos, Greece, surrounded by friends and family.
In an exclusive interview with People last January, Lundgren gushed about his new wife, calling her a "wonderful" partner both personally and professionally. "Marrying Emma was a good choice," he said with a smile. "I really enjoy it. She's very clever." Krokdal has been a constant source of support for the actor, who has credited her with helping him navigate his grueling cancer treatment.
Speaking on In Depth with Graham Bensinger, Lundgren revealed that he was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2015 and initially went into remission before the cancer returned in 2020. "I was told I had two to three years left to live," he shared with a hint of determination in his voice. "But after undergoing treatment suggested by another physician, I'm thrilled to say that I've finally overcome this debilitating disease."
Lundgren's courageous battle against cancer has been nothing short of inspiring. He underwent a lung ablation procedure at UCLA Medical Center last November, where doctors used heat or cold energy to target and destroy remaining cancer cells without the need for surgery.
As he reflected on his journey from diagnosis to remission, Lundgren couldn't help but express his gratitude to his fans and loved ones who supported him throughout his tough time. "It's been a rough ride," he said with a hint of humility, "but it's taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life."
The actor also shared a heartfelt message on social media, thanking everyone for their unwavering support during his darkest hours. "Finally cancer-free with gratefulness and excitement for a bright future," he wrote. "Thanks for all your love and encouragement always!"
Now, it seems like Lundgren is embracing every moment of life, especially those spent with his stunning wife Emma by his side! As they stroll hand-in-hand through LA's glamorous streets, one can't help but wonder what the future holds for this power couple.
