“Kevin Costner Faces Skin Cancer Concerns: Doctor Warns of Significant Sun Damage”
Kevin Costner, long celebrated as one of Hollywood’s most handsome stars, recently sparked concern among fans due to his blotchy appearance at a public event.
An insider shared with RadarOnline.com that his skin shows signs of damage from extensive sun exposure, noting, “His face is spotty from years of suntanning and likely sunburns. His forehead has many fine lines, and there are also noticeable creases around his eyes.” The source cautioned that at 69, Costner could face serious health risks if he doesn’t take precautions while filming outdoors.
The insider further remarked, “His neck is in particularly bad shape. A toad has better skin than Kevin. He seems unaware of the damage that UV rays can cause, which could lead to bigger issues down the line.” They emphasized the importance of using sunscreen and protective clothing, warning that skin cancer is a serious concern.
Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a physician who does not treat Costner, echoed these concerns, stating that he is already showing signs of skin damage. He recommended that Costner see a dermatologist annually to monitor and remove any basal cell carcinomas before they worsen. Dr. Mirkin pointed out that significant skin damage can take years to manifest into cancerous cells.
Fortunately, he also reassured that “the overwhelming majority of skin cancers are basal cells, which typically do not spread and are rarely fatal.”
Known for his roles in outdoor-centric films like the Oscar-winning Dances with Wolves, the hit series Yellowstone, and his latest project, Horizon, Costner’s health and skin care are crucial as he continues to take on challenging roles.
