A tearjerker video from 2022 has made its comeback, making Jack Black shine for his kindness. However, the video has also made many people get the wrong idea and led them to assume that Jack Black has cancer.
So, we are here to clear up the doubts once and for all.
Does Jack Black Have Cancer?
No, Jack Black does not have cancer. No official announcements have been made regarding the actor being ill or taking a break from work. He is healthy, and any rumors regarding him having cancer are incorrect.
His most recent appearance was on a picket line protesting for the SAG-AFTRA strikes in late July.
The confusion may have arisen from the actor attending a fundraising event organized by Black for child hospice programs. In the video, dated October 2022, he can be seen serenading a terminally ill boy.
Where Is the Jack Black Singing to a Kid Video From?
The video of Jack Black singing “School of Rock” to a young boy went viral recently. It was from an October 2022 fundraising event that the actor hosts annually for child hospice programs in Southern California.
Jack Black met the kid at Layla Paige and Friends Walk for TrinityKids Care. 15-year old Abraham suffers from a rare mitochondrial disease called Pearson syndrome. In the video, the boy tells Black about his favorite song, and after talking for a few seconds with the boy, the actor kneels down and sings the “School of Rock” song to him.
The video initially received over 1.5 million views in 2022, which has increased a lot more since the video keeps getting reposted.
Abraham’s mother confessed that the boy was talking about their meeting even a week after the event. Fans were once again reminded how kind of a heart Jack Black has. Many commented that it does not take much to be kind, and it’s easy to forget, but kind deeds make you, as well as the other person, happy. Others have praised Jack Black for being such a wholesome person.
School of Rock is one of Black’s highlights in his film career. “My best memories are just that group of kids and how funny and great they were. It’s definitely the highlight of my career. I can say that. Honestly.”
