Hugh Jackman reveals new skin cancer scare

Jackman had his first skin cancer removed in 2013 and has since had at least six procedures.

Hugh Jackman has revealed a new skin cancer scare.

Australian actor took to social media to urge followers to get checked and follow sun safety advice.

The Wolverine star was seen with a nose bandage after undergoing two biopsies for skin cancer, he pleads to fans, “Please Wear Sunscreen”.

He wrote on social media at the time: “Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right!

“I had a Basal Cell Carcinoma. Please don’t be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!”

The 54-year-old actor said he expects test results within the next few days.

In his video post, Jackman said his doctor had noticed “little things which could be or could not be basal cell [carcinomas]”.

He reassured fans that basal cell carcinomas are the “least dangerous” in the world of skin cancer, but said he hoped his scare reminds people to be sun-safe.

“Please wear sunscreen, it is just not worth it, no matter how much you want a tan. Trust me!” he added.

Jackman had his first skin cancer removed in 2013 and has since had at least six procedures.

Back in 2015, Jackman told People magazine his diagnosis had come as a surprise despite his upbringing.

“It’s always a bit of a shock just hearing the word ‘cancer’,” he said.

“Being an Australian it’s a very common thing. I never wore sunscreen growing up so I was a prime candidate for it.”
