Hunter Biden has shared a poignant update on his father Joe Biden’s health during a recent BBC interview, revealing that the former U.S. president’s metastatic prostate cancer has spread to his bones. The interview, conducted with BBC’s *Newsnight*, marks one of the first public discussions about the extent of Joe Biden’s illness since his diagnosis in 2025. Hunter described the condition as “extremely painful and debilitating,” emphasizing the emotional toll on both him and his father.
The interview also touched on the controversial pardon Hunter received from his father just before Joe Biden left office in January 2025. Hunter acknowledged that the decision was “not good for the Constitution or the American people,” and admitted it may have harmed his father’s political legacy. He did not discuss the pardon directly with his father, though he expressed regret over the decision.
In separate reports, multiple outlets including *Sapo.pt* and *O Globo* confirmed that Hunter’s comments align with medical updates on Joe Biden’s condition. The former president’s cancer has progressed beyond the bones, according to family sources. Hunter’s remarks highlight the personal and political complexities surrounding the Biden family’s recent challenges.
