Dustin Hoffman says his bladder cancer diagnosis turned out to be one of the luckiest things that ever happened to him.
“I had bladder cancer. I’m not ashamed to say it, and it was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me. I had what I thought was a urinary tract problem. The doctor said, ‘Well, just for the hell of it, let’s do a scan.’”
He remembers getting the news while having breakfast with his wife, Lisa, at UCLA.
“I see the way she’s walking toward me. This is not a good walk. She doesn’t look at me, and I say, ‘Is it cancer?’ And she just nods her head.”
He stepped outside to process it.
“I said to myself, ‘I’m not a cancer kind of guy. That’s not my thing. My family should be heart attacks, strokes, Jewish stuff.’”
Conan O’Brien couldn’t resist a joke.
“The guilt is spreading throughout your prostate.”
Hoffman explains the unexpected reassurance he received outside.
“The guy said, ‘You have a tumor, but you’re lucky, because they didn’t have to take a piece of your thigh and make a bag out of it.’ With me, it wasn’t connected to anything. It was all in itself.”
He agreed to surgery immediately.
“I said, ‘Do I have to do it now, or can I wait a few days?’ They said, ‘How about right now?’ I said, ‘Yeah, right now.’”
The pain hit later that night after the medication wore off.
“At 11 o’clock that night, I’m not drugged anymore, and that area is on fire.”
But even with a catheter attached to a bag, Hoffman refused to let it take away his independence.
“I still got on my feet, picked that thing up, and went to the bathroom and pretended I was going in the toilet. It meant everything to me.”
On June 27, 1999, during the “MJ & Friends” charity concert in Munich, the elevated platform Michael Jackson was standing on during Earth Song suddenly malfunctioned and collapsed beneath him.
He fell hard into the pit in front of the stage, suffering back and chest injuries.
Yet, true to the spirit he lived by, he climbed back out, finished the song, and continued the show — because the only voice he heard in his head was his father’s:
“Michael, don’t disappoint your audience.”
This is not just a moment of an accident.
This is the King of Pop’s unbreakable dedication to the people who came to see him.

Russell Brand was asked about American politics, but apparently, he had much bigger things on his mind… including his cat and the entire universe.
In this hilarious appearance on CONAN, Brand admits he didn't even follow the election because he was too busy dealing with an incident involving his cat. You can already tell this wasn't going to be a conventional political conversation.
When Conan tries to get his thoughts on government, Brand takes things in a completely unexpected direction. Instead of offering the usual political analysis, he suggests that monkeys, children or even clockwork mice could take on leadership roles.
But he isn't finished. Brand then takes the conversation from Washington all the way into outer space, bringing up the Hubble Space Telescope and the enormous scale of the universe. His point, Compared with the vastness of the galaxy, human political drama can seem incredibly small.
And just when Conan thinks he can steer the conversation back on track, Brand starts making some rather unexpected comments to people in the audience!
That's the Russell Brand experience: unpredictable answers, unusual observations and absolutely no guarantee that a conversation will go where you expect.
But here's a question: Is Brand making a deeper point about how small our political disagreements are, or is he simply enjoying the chaos.
