Hugh Jackman has given fans an update on his health as the actor awaits the results of a biopsy - six years after his most recent treatment for skin cancer.
The 52-year-old actor appeared on The One Show on Friday, August 6, when the co-hosts addressed the "elephant in the room," asking the actor for an update on his latest skin check.
"I had a biopsy on my nose three days ago, I find out in the next day or two if it is anything, it may not be," he revealed, appearing via video link, per The Mirror.
"It's the least dangerous form of cancer but I'll let you know on social media."
Hugh was first diagnosed with skin cancer in 2013 after doctors discovered basal-cell carcinoma on his nose. His most recent treatment for the disease was in 2015.
Jackman then issued a stark warning to fans, telling them to "wear sunscreen" and get regular checks.
"It’s certainly not my first, I’ve had five or six of them now. It’s pretty common when you have English parents and they take you over to Australia and you play cricket out in the sun," he explained.
"So wear sunscreen and get a skin check," he pleaded with fans.
Earlier this month, the X-Men star took to social media to open up about his latest health scare.
"A couple of notes - please get skin checks often, please don't think it won't happen to you and, above all, please wear sunscreen," he told his followers. "I just went to see Lisa and Trevor, my amazing dermatologist and doctors."
He went on: "They saw something that was a little irregular so they took a biopsy, getting it checked. So if you see a shot of me with this on, do not freak out."
Speaking about his diagnosis to People in 2015, the movie star said: "It's always a bit of a shock just hearing the word 'cancer'.
"Being an Australian it's a very common thing. I never wore sunscreen growing up so I was a prime candidate for it."
