Recently, Chinese actor Hu Ge, who was just interviewed by a fashion magazine and discussed the topic of “death,” has been the subject of intense rumors on the internet claiming that he has been diagnosed with lung cancer and is receiving treatment at a hospital in Beijing. In response to these rumors, Hu Ge’s studio clarified the situation on Weibo on the evening of the 20th and called for the spreading of false information to stop. However, some fans were dissatisfied with the studio’s slow response.
Hu Ge has been rumored to be battling lung cancer and undergoing treatment at a hospital in Beijing. Additionally, there were reports that in late September 2024, Hu Ge underwent a health check-up with unfavorable results, leading doctors to advise him to seek treatment promptly. Feeling down and thinking about his young daughter, after a few days of contemplation, Hu Ge decided to actively pursue treatment.
On the evening of the 20th, Hu Ge’s studio vehemently denounced the rumors with screenshots, stating, “False! The following misinformation seriously infringes on Mr. Hu Ge’s reputation! Please stop spreading rumors, and we reserve the right to pursue legal action against those involved.”
However, some fans expressed discontent with the studio’s delayed response, leaving comments such as “Why didn’t you address yesterday’s hot search in a timely manner? The entire internet was wondering about Hu Ge’s situation,” “Can you handle these matters more promptly next time? It’s not satisfactory to wait until rumors are flying everywhere,” “Just sue directly, no need to hold back. Be more vigilant against rumors in the future; after a few lawsuits, they won’t dare to spread false information anymore,” and “Can you also sue those who have been celebrating on the hot search these past few days?”
Hu Ge gained immense popularity for his roles in dramas like “Nirvana in Fire” and “Blooming Flowers”. At the age of 42, he announced his marriage and the birth of his daughter in 2023, shocking the entertainment industry. During this year’s New Year’s Eve, Hu Ge declined all work engagements to spend time with his family.
Not long ago, during an interview with the fashion magazine “ELLE,” Hu Ge shared, “For me, turning 40 marks the countdown in life. After my mother passed away, for a considerable period, I felt that I could face death calmly. It wasn’t until my daughter ‘Xiao MoLi’ was born that I suddenly felt time was not enough. I want to live a few more years, be able to spend more time with her, and see if she is doing well.”
