The X-Men and Wolverine star Hugh Jackman, has been diagnosed with skin cancer. His confession was posted on his Instagram account on Thursday, following his wife's advice to see a doctor about the suspicious mark on his face.
"Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy she was right!" Hugh wrote.
According to the diagnosis of Mayo Clinic, Jackman has basal cell carcinoma; a slow-growing skin cancer condition "thought to be caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight". It often forms as a "waxy bump".
The 45-year-old actor urged his fans to take his experience as a lesson and use preventative care.
"Please don't be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!" he pleaded.
Although "Wolverine" didn't explain further his present condition, it appears he'll recover before the holiday season.
