Hunter Biden tells BBC fathers prostate cancer has spread to bones and beyond
Former U.S. President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread further, his son Hunter Biden said in a BBC interview published on Aug. 8, 2026.
Hunter Biden told the British broadcaster that the cancer, first diagnosed in May 2025, has now metastasized to the skeleton and beyond. “The cancer has spread, with metastases to the bones and elsewhere,” he said. He described the disease as “very painful and very debilitating” and added, “The only thing I can say about my dad’s health right now is that I wish he would complain more.”
Joe Biden, 83, announced in May 2025 that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones. He underwent radiation treatment starting in October 2025. His wife, Jill Biden, previously told media that he would not recover from the cancer.
In the BBC interview, Hunter Biden also reflected on his father’s performance in the June 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump, which contributed to the end of Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. “I was shocked. I knew something was wrong,” he said, adding that he had initially attributed his father’s poor showing to physical exhaustion from travel but later wondered if the cancer had already been affecting him.
Hunter Biden also addressed his father’s pardon of him in December 2024, which covered tax and firearms offenses as well as any other federal crimes committed between 2014 and 2024. While he called himself “the most privileged person alive” for receiving the pardon, he acknowledged it was “not good for the United States, not good for the Constitution, not good for my father’s legacy.” He added, “It’s something that can easily be criticized, and with good reason.”
Joe Biden had previously stated he would not use presidential power to intervene in his son’s legal cases but later justified the pardon by claiming Hunter Biden had been “selectively and unfairly prosecuted.”
Hunter Biden said his father remains politically engaged and determined to continue speaking publicly. He ruled out his own political ambitions, stating he has “no interest” in running for office.

Hunter Biden: Farens benådning «ikke bra» for ettermælet I et intervju med BBC kommenterer Hunter Biden farens benådning av ham før han gikk av som president. Joe Biden benådet sønnen like før han gikk av som president i januar 2025. – Var det bra for den amerikanske konstitusjonen? Var det bra for det amerikanske folk? Var det bra for min fars ettermæle, sier Hunter Biden etter at han fikk spørsmål om saken av BBC. – Nei. Det var det ikke. Det er noe som det er lett å kritisere, og med god grunn, sier Biden. Samtidig understreker Hunter Biden at han er svært takknemlig for at han faktisk ble benådet. – Alt jeg vet, er at jeg er takknemlig for at han gjorde det for meg, sier Biden. I intervjuet snakker han også om at faren har kreft, og at den har spredd seg. I 2025 ble det kjent at Bidens prostatakreft hadde spredd seg til skjelettet.
