While he has had a very successful career and has a lot to be thankful for, he announced earlier in 2023 that he was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer eight years ago when a tumour was found in his kidney.
He has been fighting his cancer battle for almost a decade and was told by his doctor in 2021 that he only had a few years to live.
But he has clearly decided that he is going out with a bang and that he is keen to make the best of his final years.

In an interview with Graham Bensinnger, Lundgren opened up about his cancer battle and his romantic relationship with Emma who is 40 years younger than him.
He says that he was baffled that she was at all interested in him, she had no idea who he was and didn't know that he was an actor.
He also discussed having to tell his children that he was dating a 23-year-old:
It seems like the couple is happier than ever and is not letting Lundgren's health issues stop them from living their best lives:
Hopefully Lundgren's health will improve and they can enjoy many more years together.
