“Jurassic Park” star Sam Neill has said he is cancer-free after almost five years of battling stage-three blood cancer.

Neill is now advocating for the treatment, CAR T-cell therapy, to be rolled out across his native Australia.

“I’m not afraid to die, but it would annoy me,” Neill said at the time. »
