Hugh Jackman is ‘all good’ after having third skin cancer removed!

Proving not even superheroes are spared from cancer, Aussie actor Hugh Jackman has once again been treated for the condition.

The 46-year-old recently stepped out in Manhattan with a bandage on his nose after having his third basal cell carcinoma removed in just 12 months.

Chatting to E! News, a rep for the X-Men star said the father-of-two is “all good,” following  a minor medical procedure to get rid of the lesion, which is usually caused by intense UV exposure.

The hunky Les Misérables actor was first treated for skin cancer back in November 2013, after his wife Deborra-Lee Furness begged him to see a doctor about a growth on his nose.

He later revealed the news on his Instagram account, saying: “Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy she was right!”

Hugh went on to urge fans to seek medical help if they were in a similar situation. “Please don’t be foolish like me. Get yourself checked! And USE sunscreen!”

In May this year, Hugh took to social media for the second time to encourage people to protect themselves from the sun, alongside a picture of his bandaged nose where a growth had been removed.
