US EditionJames Van Der Beek Addresses Concerns About His Weight Amid Cancer Battle
James Van Der Beek attributed his weight loss to stomach bugs, not cancer relapse, and confirmed ongoing cancer treatment while thanking fans for supporting a fundraiser.
- On Friday, December 19, 2025, James Van Der Beek appeared on NBC's Today to address fan concern about his slimmed-down look after the September Dawson's Creek reunion in New York City.
- In September, Dawson's Creek reunion in New York City featured Lin-Manuel Miranda replacing Van Der Beek, whose wife Kimberly Van Der Beek and their six children attended with two daughters performing to a standing ovation.
- Addressing viewers' fears, James Van Der Beek said it was not cancer-related and blamed the stomach virus that affected his September video for his weight loss.
- The benefit raised funds for F Cancer and aided Van Der Beek's treatment, and last month Kimberly Van Der Beek said he is 'bouncing back.'
- Van Der Beek, who announced his diagnosis last year, says he is still undergoing treatment, is 'trying a bunch of stuff,' and feels much better than he did a couple months ago.
