Gary Sinise is getting candid about stepping away from Hollywood.
The Forrest Gump star, 69, shared in an interview with Fox News that his decision to take a break from his career in 2019 came down to the fact that his family were “in the cancer fight during that time.”
“Traveling away from the family wasn’t possible with what we were going through,” he told the outlet. “My wife [Moira Harris] had been diagnosed with breast cancer. My son was diagnosed with this very rare cancer you know, within two months of each other.”
Sinise previously revealed that his son McCanna Anthony “Mac” Sinise was diagnosed in August, 2018 with a “very rare cancer” known as Chordoma, which forms in a person’s spine or at the base of their skull, per Cleveland Clinic. That diagnosis came just months after Harris, 70, received a stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis.
