On Monday, Hugh Jackman took it to Twitter to talk about skin, and shared he’s had a skin biopsy.
The actor, who was wearing a mask for the majority of the video, showed he had a bandage on his nose. He cleared that he wanted people not to worry, and that he just went to his “amazing” dermatologist for a quick checkup.
In the video, Hugh said: “[The doctors] saw something that was a little irregular, so they took a biopsy and they’re getting it checked.”
“So if you see a shot of me with this on,” he says, pointing at his nose bandage, “don’t freak out.”
He also emphasized the importance to wear sunscreen, (“Don’t be like me as a kid”), and get skin checks often.
Hugh added: “Thank you for your concern. I’ll let you know what’s going on. I think it’s probably fine.”
Back in 2017, The Greatest Showman actor underwent treatment for basal cell carcinoma.
A couple of notes: please get skin checks often, please don’t think it can’t happen to you and, above all, please wear sunscreen. pic.twitter.com/MqqdxlM4C3
