Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, spoke in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC about his father's serious health condition. Joe Biden, 83 years old, is suffering from an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones and other parts of his body.

In the interview, Hunter Biden describes the situation as 'very heavy and sad to see.' He also mentioned that his father is in a lot of pain due to the spread of the cancer and the associated symptoms.

Hunter Biden referred to his own experiences with a past of drug addiction, which he was able to work on with the help of his father's pardon. He calls himself the 'most privileged person there is,' despite the challenges he has faced.

According to Hunter Biden, his father has been fighting this illness for over a year. The situation has had a significant impact on both Joe Biden and the family.

The former president's illness has become a public topic, with various media outlets reporting on his health condition. VRT NWS, Het Nieuwsblad, and others highlight the seriousness of Biden's ailment and the emotional burden it brings to his family.

Hunter's choice to publicly share these details can be seen as an attempt to raise awareness about the reality of his father's illness. This comes against the backdrop of the political and personal challenges facing the Biden family.
