Mario Lopez is sending out assistance after his previous Saved by the Bell co-star Dustin Diamond was identified with cancer.
The Extra host shared a screenshot to social networks on Thursday, Jan. 14 of himself and Dustin in a scene from the precious 1990s comedy, together with a more current picture of the 2 buddies capturing up.
“I connected with Dustin earlier this evening and although the news of his diagnosis is heartbreaking, we remain positive that he’ll overcome this,” Mario captioned the images on Instagram and Twitter. “Praying for him & his family and for a speedy recovery. God Bless.”
Dustin’s medical diagnosis was verified on his Facebook page on Jan. 14 to upgrade fans about the 44-year-old entertainer who is best understood for playing gawky-but-lovable Samuel “Screech” Powers on Saved by the Bell and numerous spinoffs.
“At this time we can confirm that Dustin does have cancer,” his group published. “Dustin will disclose more information once it is available and a plan moving forward is made… We ask everyone to respect Dustin’s privacy during this difficult time. All positivity and prayers are appreciated.”
