Pictured: Hugh Jackman’s SIXTH brush with skin cancer
HOLLYWOOD superstar Hugh Jackman has had his sixth skin cancer removed.
The X-Men star posted a photograph on Instagram showing him with a plaster across his nose.
The Aussie actor told his 9.7 million followers: ‘Another basal cell carcinoma.
‘Thanks to frequent body checks and amazing doctors, all is well.
‘Looks worse with the dressing on than off. I swear!’
Jackman, 48, warned people to protect themselves from the sun, adding the hashtag ‘#wearsunscreen’.
The father-of-two had his first skin cancer removed in 2013 after his actress wife Deborra-Lee Furness suggested he should get a mole on his nose checked.
He wrote on social media at the time: ‘Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right!
‘I had a Basal Cell Carcinoma. Please don’t be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!’
Jackman’s fifth skin cancer was removed in February last year.
