After revealing to his fans that he had undergone further tests for skin cancer, Hugh Jackman has stated that he has been given the all-clear.
As reported by the BBC, the 54-year-old actor had his first scare in 2013 when he had skin cancer removed and in the years that have followed, he has had upwards of six procedures.
Tests in 2021 revealed that Jackman likely had Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and fans have naturally been concerned for the Wolverine actor following the news.
Earlier this week the 54-year-old updated fans on Instagram via a video where he had a bandage on his nose as he stated he wanted fans to hear the news from him first.
Check out what Jackman had to say to his fans:"I've just had two biopsies done. I just went to my doctor, Dr. Iron, who's awesome. She just saw little things that could be or could not be Basal Cell in her opinion. I'll find out in two or three days and as soon as I know, I'll let you know," Jackman reassured viewers.
He added further reassurance by saying: "Just to remind you, Basal Cell in the world of skin cancers is the least dangerous of them all."
The actor has campaigned tirelessly to spread awareness of the disease and has urged his followers to wear sunscreen.
"Please wear sunscreen. It is just not worth it," Jackman stated. "No matter how much you want to tan, trust me, trust me, trust me. Put some sunscreen on. You'll still have an incredible time out there, alright? Please be safe."
Following his announcement, Jackson has since updated fans on his condition where he has given the positive news that we were all hoping for.
The star began on his Instagram story: "My biopsies came back negative!"
"Thank you all for the love. I feel it! And to the media for helping me get this very important message out," the star continued before doubling down on his plea for others to wear sunscreen."
"Please remember to wear sunscreen with a high level of SPF (no matter the season). Love HJ," he concluded.
We're overjoyed to hear the news that Jackson has been given the all-clear, but his warning about sunscreen should be listened to as per the American Cancer Society, around 5.4 million Americans are diagnosed with a form of skin cancer every year.
We can't wait to see Jackman appear in the new Deadpool movie coming later this year!
