Michael C. Hall has admitted that he always feared dying from cancer at a young age.
The Dexter actor was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma last year aged 38. Hall said that the timing echoed pre-occupations he had as a child after his father died of prostate cancer aged 39.
He told The New York Times: "I think I've been pre-occupied since I was 11, and my father died, with the idea of the age 39, 'Would I live that long? What would that be like?'
"To discover that I had the Hodgkin's was alarming, but at the same time I felt kind of bemused, like, 'Wow. Huh. How interesting'."
Hall confirmed earlier this year that his illness is in remission.
