Hugh Jackman Undergoes Third Treatment for Skin Cancer
Hugh Jackman has undergone his third treatment for basal cell carcinoma, the actor's rep confirmed to E! News today.
Though Jackman is "all good," he was previously treated for skin cancer in May of this year, and November 2013.
In May, Jackman posted the news on Instagram, saying: "Another Basel Cell Carsinoma. All out now. Thanks Dr. Albom and Dr. Arian. PLEASE! PLEASE! WEAR SUNSCREEN!"
At the time of the original scare, Jackman credited his wife Deborra-Lee Furness for encouraging him to get the "mark" on his face checked out.
BWW sends best wishes to the multi-talented actor for a full and speedy recovery.
Jackman, currently starring in The River on Broadway, was recently seen in Prisoners alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and will next be seen in The Greatest Showman on Earth. He recently starred in The Wolverine and the Oscar-nominated movie adaptation of Les Miserables. Jackman has appeared on Broadway in Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway, A Steady Rain and The Boy From Oz -- for which he won the 2004 Tony Award -- as well as off-Broadway's Carousel. In 2012, Jackman was honored with a Tony Award Special Award for Extraordinary Contribution to the Theatre Community.
