Stanley Tucci opened up about his ongoing health challenges after throat cancer treatment in 2017. Now in remission, he experiences significant fatigue, particularly affecting his afternoon productivity. Initially misattributing his symptoms to stress, Tucci later discovered his thyroid was non-functioning due to prior radiation therapy. This revelation was a relief to him, despite not feeling fully recovered yet. He is now on medication that improves his symptoms, although he still struggles with tiredness. At 64, Tucci emphasizes the inevitability of fatigue at his age, but expresses a desire to regain his previous energy levels.
"I would be so tired in the afternoon, like completely exhausted by one o'clock...something's wrong with me." Tucci recalls the fatigue he felt while filming.
"What happened was because I had radiation six, seven years ago, it burned out my thyroid," he explained, highlighting the long-term impacts of cancer treatment.
"I still get tired in the afternoon...once I started taking the pill, it made a huge difference," Tucci shares about managing his thyroid issues.
