Stanley Tucci recalls losing his sense of taste amid cancer battle: 'It was devastating'

Stanley Tucci is providing more details about his past cancer diagnosis and the difficult months he faced while fighting it.

"It's mostly memoir," the actor, 60, said of the book on "Good Morning America" Tuesday, adding, "It's sort of peppered with recipes, excuse the pun."

The famous foodie was raised by a mother who loves to cook – and while he resembles the same interest in the kitchen, he admitted that he couldn't taste at all when he was fighting cancer three years ago.
