Sam said he had to give up weekends because of his tough treatment. But he feels grateful to be alive and is happy to work in beautiful places like York.
Last October, he asked fans not to worry about him. He shared that a new drug is keeping him in remission after chemotherapy didn’t work.
Sam mentioned that doctors said his new drug will eventually stop working. He told ABC’s Australian Story, “I’m not scared of dying. I never have been. But I’d be annoyed because I still have things I want to do. Dying is very irritating, but I’m not afraid.”
After sharing about his treatment, Sam recorded a video for his fans, reassuring them not to worry about him.
Sam shared that he mentioned his cancer treatment might not last forever. But he reassured fans he’s currently in remission and hopes to stay that way for years.

Sam added, “Please don’t worry! I’ve been getting a lot of messages. Everything is fine. It’s a beautiful day, and I’m heading to work.”
Sam , the Peaky Blinders actor, has said he’s “not really interested” in his cancer because it’s something he can’t control. Instead, he prefers to focus on more important things.
He rushed to write a book for his four children and eight grandchildren so they could have a piece of him.
Recently, he’s been promoting his new series, Apples Never Fall. On the Kelly Clarkson show, he joked about feeling “embarrassed” when she mentioned he changed his name from Nigel. He quipped, “My parents gave me a disadvantage from the start.”
He said, “You never want to be called Nigel. It’s a joke—‘Nigel No Mates’ or ‘Nigel No Friends.’
When I was 10, I had a best friend named Nigel Nut, which was even worse. I went by the name Nigel Neill.
We loved Westerns and decided to give ourselves cool nicknames. I became Sam, and he became Bill. The best choice I ever made was that.”
