Foreman got a lot of heat for this in 1968, when he won the Olympic heavyweight boxing title.

He had cancer for years, RIP.
That's why they made a big deal of his cameo in Top Gun : Maverick.

He'd had throat cancer, but was in remission. The stated cause of death is pneumonia. However, I'm sure cancer treatments and a tracheotomy made him very vulnerable.

I'll admit to being a big fan. Starting from Top Secret, Real Genius, and naturally Top Gun. Films like Tombstone, The Doors and Heat proved he could do pretty much anything. I know he had a reputation for being difficult to work with, but I really admire his work.
 

Sad, he was a refreshing departure from his predecessors. Hope he had a "Come to Jesus" exchange with JD...​

Pope Francis Dies at 88​

His groundbreaking pontificate worked to make the Catholic Church more inclusive. Cardinals will now decide whether to continue his approach or restore more doctrinaire leadership.

Pope Francis has died, the Vatican announced on Monday, ending a groundbreaking pontificate that sought, however haltingly, to reshape the Roman Catholic Church into a more inclusive institution. His death will set off mourning around the world and deliberations and machinations to choose a successor.

The absence of Francis, a humble champion of the poor, creates a vacuum in the leadership of more than one billion Catholics, and leaves cardinals with a critical decision: whether to choose a new pope who will follow his welcoming, global approach or to restore the more doctrinaire path of his predecessors.
