Hugh Jackman has recently announced that he has been treated for skin cancer.
Wolverine broke the news on his official Instagram account on Thursday, revealing that his wife had urged him to see a doctor about a growth on his nose.
‘Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy she was right!’ Hugh explained.
PageSix report that the 45-year-old actor was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, that can often appear as a red or pale lump.
Urging his fans to take the same action should they have any similar concerns, he said: ‘Please don’t be foolish like me. Get yourself checked!’.
The actor – who posted a picture of himself with a plaster on his nose from where the growth had been removed – added: ‘And USE sunscreen!!!’.
The plaster had been visible earlier in the week on Tuesday, when Hugh was seen out riding in New York (source).
I think everyone can relate to how cancer can affect a family, so we wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery!
