Dolph Lundgren thinks he\u2019s lucky to be alive after his kidney cancer and wild living<\/p>\n
The \u2018Universal Soldier\u2019 actor, 66, was first diagnosed with the illness in 2015 and told he only had a few years to live, but is now enjoying life after a series of tumors were removed.<\/p>\n
He told Total Film about his health fight: \u201cI had a prognosis that I only had a couple of years left, so I feel lucky to be alive.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuck has always played a part though. It\u2019s like one of the Roman generals said, \u2018Everything that happens to you has been decided since the beginning of time.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody has their fate. And my fate was to be somebody who entertains and inspires people, I hope.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen asked about his wild days, Dolph admitted: \u201cI went through a period of heavy drinking and a few addictions while trying to deal with the trauma from my childhood and I think I danced with the devil a few times.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBut I lived to tell about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSwedish-born Dolph, who married his fianc\u00e9e Emma Krokdal, 28, in Mykonos last year, admitted his ideal \u201coff switch\u201d would be boozing \u2013 but said he now prefers to lounge around on the sofa instead.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cThe off switch would be to get drunk. But now I like to hit the couch at least once a day.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI like watching historical dramas. I was directing, writing and starring in my latest movie, \u2018Wanted Man\u2019, which is a lot, but my wife keeps me balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDolph added he has also learned a lot about himself from getting physical, adding: \u201cA lot of smart people think they know a lot about themselves. But they don\u2019t know about physical courage.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou learn a lot about yourself in a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
