Hugh Jackman, best known as Wolverine in the X-Men film series, has faced skin cancer several times, which is why he makes sure to keep his fans in loop with his health and spreads awareness on checking your skin and wearing sunscreen. He has been diagnosed with the cancer six times.

In 2013, Hugh Jackman revealed that he had been diagnosed with skin cancer, specifically basal cell carcinoma, and has undergone several procedures to remove it since then. Recently, he revealed that he had undergone two additional biopsies in order to check for any potential new cancer spots. However, he assured his fans that he is okay and urged them to protect their skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

It was last in August 2021 that the award-winning actor underwent another biopsy to have the cancerous lesion from his nose removed. Sharing a health update in a moving post on Instagram, he said, “Firstly, thank you, everyone, for your incredible support. I got so much support for the biopsy I just had.”

Elaborating on the condition, he explained, “If it’s anything, it’s a basal cell carcinoma, which is not threatening really, but needs to be taken care of.”
