Cancer-stricken actor Dennis Hopper has finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 27, Reuters is reporting. Even though the 73-year-old star of ‘Easy Rider’ has advanced prostate cancer and reportedly weighing around 100 pounds since getting sick, he still attended the unveiling with a smile.
The frail Hopper appeared at the unveiling even though it’s also being reported that he’s too weak to continue chemotherapy. He did wear a bandage on his head and on his right hand though, which he attributed to a fall, which he said occurred when a paparazzi called out his name as he walked outside.
Hopper, who last appeared on the Starz network television series ‘Crash,’ based on the Oscar-winning movie, received permission from his doctor to attend the ceremony. He was accompanied by his two-time co-star Viggo Mortensen, who appeared in the 1990s films ‘The Indian Runner’ and ‘Boiling Point’ with him. Hooper has acted in over 150 movies, including his debut in 1955’s ‘Rebel Without a Cause.’

Actually, the unveiling ceremony was on March 26th, and Mr. Hopper now weighs around 100 pounds. He did not lose 100 pounds. You need to check your facts, or else Reuters does.
