The Pixar Blog: Will ‘Cars 2′ go ahead without Doc Hudson character?
It’s very sad to hear that Paul Newman is fighting lung cancer. I must have missed the news previously, but it seems he isn’t really talking about it in public. I know that means he likely won’t be able to perform as the voice of Doc Hudson in Cars 2, but regardless of that, I hope he gets better. He is an amazing actor and I would hate to see that talent not on display any longer. I’m glad John Lasseter is focusing on the wait & see. Let’s not be morbid and just see what the future holds. The man is definitely a fighter!
