“Those dark moments throw the light into sharp relief, you know, and have made me grateful for every day and immensely grateful for all my friends,” he told the Guardian. “Just pleased to be alive.” “I’m not afraid to die,” he added, “but it would annoy me. Because I’d really like another decade or two. ... I’ve got my lovely little grandchildren. I want to see them get big.”
A day after the Guardian story came out, Neill lamented that the resulting news cycle focused so much on his health scare when “the main thing” he wanted to announce was his forthcoming memoir, “Did I Ever Tell You This?” Though he maintains that it is not a “cancer book,” the “Peaky Blinders” actor did pen the memoir while he was undergoing treatment and “suddenly couldn’t go to work.”“The tone of the book is one of surprise.
Neill’s “Did I Ever Tell You This?” is scheduled for release Thursday. The performer also plugged the upcoming limited series “Apples Never Fall,” starring him and Annette Bening, which starts shooting in a week.
