According to NBC News, during the procedure, Crews’ doctor found potentially cancerous polyps in his system, proving the life-saving necessity of regular medical appointments for men over the age of 45, more specifically Black men. In the video, the 54-year-old actor is seen entering the facility—in full costume—being prepped by his doctor and then led to the procedure. After 25 minutes, Crews is seen in the recovery room waking up from the anesthesia and being greeted by nurses. “And I didn’t even feel anything in my a**hole,” he said. “This is good.” When the doctor returns, he walks Crews through what he found during the exam with onscreen visual proof of what was removed.
The tragic passing of actor and cultural gem Chadwick Boseman at the age of 43 from the disease was a jarring wake-up call for many and a reminder that colorectal health is as important as ever.
