Summary
Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, Expendables, Creed II, The Witcher) joins us this week for the most open conversation we have ever had. Dolph walks me through the kidney cancer diagnosis he kept secret for seven years, the misdiagnosis at a major LA hospital that nearly cost him his life, and the surreal moment he got the news in Sweden then drove the Gumball Rally at 150 miles an hour through Europe with his daughter sitting next to him. We also get into the suicidal stretch that followed treatment, the Stallone rift over a possible Drago movie, the new reality show with his daughters, and why he now calls the whole cancer experience a gift.
