Actor Johnny Ruffo, who has appeared on both Australia’s The X Factor and Dancing with the Stars, is a triple threat outside of the soap opera industry.
He has also been dealing with brain cancer intermittently for the past five years as he disclosed his diagnosis.
How old is Johnny and where is he from?
Johnny, who is 34 years old, was born on March 8th, 1988. He is a native of Western Australia’s Balcatta.
When did Johnny start acting?
After finishing third on The X Factor Australia in 2011, Johnny gained notoriety.
He participated in Dancing with the Stars Australia in between hosting a radio station, recording his debut album, and opening for One Direction in his native country.
He made his acting debut in Home and Away, where he was only slated to appear in 16 episodes. He did, however, continue to appear on the show for three years because of how much he pleased the audience.
When was Johnny diagnosed with cancer?
Johnny revealed his diagnosis of brain cancer a year after leaving Home and Away.

Despite having a two-year age difference, the siblings are quite close. Due to the pandemic, they were apart for three years, but they remained in touch via WhatsApp.
In spite of outliving his diagnosis, Johnny said he still has a lot of goals in mind. Five years have passed since he was told he had three years to live.
He said to 7Entertainment, “I know the cancer is terminal, but you know, I’m going to do everything I can and I’m doing everything I can to kick its a**.
