Mackenzie Crook Illness: What Illness Does Mackenzie Crook Suffer From?
Mackenzie Crook is not suffering from any illness.
The 51-year-old Crook starred in Sky Atlantic’s Britannia (2017-2019). He portrayed Druid leader Veran – a 10,000-year-old mysterious character who was supposedly the second man ever to set foot on planet earth. Due to that, he had to shave his head and be bald for the six months duration of filming.
Crook’s physical transformation for his role made his fans and family think he had cancer.
However, in a 2018 interview, the actor explained that he had no sickness but just kept his head bald because of his role in Britannia.
