Hunter Biden said in a BBC interview broadcast Friday that his father Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread to his bones and is causing pain. The 83-year-old former US president revealed the diagnosis in May 2025, less than four months after leaving office. Doctors found an aggressive form that had already metastasised. Jill Biden has said her husband will 'forever live with cancer' and requires monitoring every three months. Hunter described watching his father's decline as 'really sad' but said he remains active in public life.
