TwitterPaul Newman is reportedly very ill with cancer
According to reports, Paul Newman, 83 and a former chain-smoker, has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer
The acclaimed actor is said to have been diagnosed at New York's Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where he is currently receiving outpatient treatment and is under a leading New York oncologist's care. One of the few to know about Newman's illness is his "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" costar and good pal, Robert Redford.
As well as being an acclaimed actor, Newman is also the founder of Newman's Own, which offers spaghetti sauce and salad dressing. The company donates all its earning to charity, with earnings reaching more than $100 million since its creation.
Newman has made major contributions to those less fortunate, including being on the board of directors for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, an organization that creates camps for terminally ill children.
No confirmation from the hospital or from Newman's camp.
Paul, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I wish him all the best..
sorry to hear about your challenge. flight while you can, let go when you've had enought. my father called it, time to "quit".
you have made a mark on all those you've toughed. you are a man who wioll live in your hearts forever. thank you for being on this earth.
I'm going to hope.
wish you well mr. newman loved you in all the movies you were in and hope sometime soon there will be a cure for cancer my dad died from it and my favorite mother in law died from it and they didn't smoke
My dad is current;y suffering from the same illness. Paul is one of my favorite actors and Cool Hand Luke is my all time favorite by him. May God bless him and I truly hope the cancer can some how disappear.
Newman's own has donated over 220 million dollars in profits, not 100 million.
This is too much to bear. My thoughts go to all the wondrous things Paul has accomplished in his lifetime. His charitable nature, his love of car racing, food and politics and certainly his family have made him awe-inspiring. A gorgeous man, talented actor and a trailblazer!
I am praying for your recovery.
Your devoted fan (for 44 years.

I'm so sad. Mr. Newman, you are one of my favorites and my birthday is on the same day as yours so I think of you every January 26. I'm sending you good thoughts as you go through this.
No one classier. To this day no one better looking. My prayers are with you and family. May God be with all of you in your time of trial
