Hugh Jackman Reveals He Just Underwent 2 Biopsies Following a Serious Health Scare

Hugh Jackman recently shared a crucial health update with his 31.1 million Instagram followers. The Golden Globe-winning actor, who has been treated for skin cancer several times already, has revealed that he just underwent 2 biopsies. The 54-year-old also insisted on a very important thing to do that could literally save people’s lives.

Hugh got real on Instagram.

In a recent Instagram Reel, the Wolverine star revealed a bandage on his nose resulting from having “2 biopsies done.” He explained that his doctor had seen “little things” that could be basal cell or not.
The actor then added, ’’I’ll find out in 2 or 3 days, and as soon as I know, I’ll let you know.’’

He also took the opportunity to raise awareness, saying, ’’Basal cell — in the world of skin cancers — is the least dangerous of them all."

Wearing sunscreen is crucial.

Jackman then went on to advise his followers to wear sunscreen as summer approaches, adding, ’’It is just not worth it. No matter how much you want to tan, trust me...’’

He also noted, ’’This is all stuff that happened 25 years ago. It’s coming out now.’’
In fact, the star admitted, ’’I never wore sunscreen growing up, so I was a prime candidate for it.’’

This isn’t his first cancer scare.

In 2013, Jackman underwent surgery to remove skin cancer from his nose after his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, urged him to have a mark on his nose examined. He later expressed gratitude for her advice, stating, “Boy, was she right!”

A year later, a makeup artist noticed that he had a spot again, and ever since the 54-year-old noted that he goes ’’every 3 months for checkups.’’

Jackman reassured his fans by sharing what his doctor explained to him, which is that Basal cell carcinoma, is ’’the kind of skin cancer you want to have if you’re going to have it.’’ He added that it ’’is just something you have to deal with. It’s cancerous. It will grow. You just have to get it out.’’

He gave a good update.

2 days later, Hugh gave an update on his Instagram story and wrote, ’’My biopsies came back. Negative!!! Thank you ALL for the love. I feel it!’’

In conclusion, Hugh Jackman’s health update serves as a reminder of the importance of wearing sunscreen and taking care of your skin. The actor’s willingness to share his health struggles is admirable and serves as an inspiration to many.
