What Happened To Zoe Jackman’s Brother, Hugh Jackman?

Zoe Jackman’s brother Hugh Jackman has undergone multiple procedures to remove skin cancer. He had his first skin cancer removed in the year 2013. The X-Men star has since had at least six procedures, per BBC. He took the tests after his doctor realized “little things which could be, or could not be basal cell [carcinomas]”.

Hugh Jackman has stressed the significance of wearing high-SPF sunscreen, regardless of the season. He said: “Please remember to wear sunscreen with a high level of SPF, no matter the season”. Hugh took to his Instagram story to reveal that his latest biopsies came back negative. “Thank you ALL for the love. I feel it! And to the media for getting this very important message out,” Hugh wrote.

Hugh said in the caption of an Instagram reel he posted: “I know you’ve heard me talk about my basal cell carcinomas before. I’m going to keep talking about them if need be. And if it reminds even one person to put on sunscreen with a high SPF, then I’m happy.”

Zoe Jackman’s brother, Hugh said: “It is just not worth it. No matter how much you want to tan, trust me… This is all stuff that happened 25 years ago. It’s coming out now. Put some sunscreen on. You’ll still have an incredible time out there. Please be safe.”

While wearing a bandage on his nose, he revealed in the same Instagram Reel that he underwent the two biopsies at the suggestion of his doctor.

“So, I wanted you to hear it from me, just in case someone sees me on the street or whatever,” he started. “I’ve just had two biopsies done. I just went to my doctor, [Dr. Lisa Airan], who’s awesome. And she just saw little things, could be or could not be basal cell in her opinion. She doesn’t know.”

“I’ll find out in two or three days, and as soon as I know, I’ll let you know. Just to remind you, basal cell — in the world of skin cancers — is the least dangerous of them all,” he added.

According to PEOPLE, ‘According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, which is caused by “abnormal, uncontrolled growth of basal cells” and can usually be cured when treated early.’

Hugh Jackman’s wife Deborra-Lee Furness told him “to get the mark on my nose checked.” He also said a makeup artist brought the spot to his attention while he was filming the 2014 Marvel movie X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

“It’s always a bit of a shock just hearing the word ‘cancer,'” he said in 2015. “Being an Australian it’s a very common thing. I never wore sunscreen growing up, so I was a prime candidate for it.”

Hugh Jackman had four skin cancers removed, three from his nose and one from his shoulder, and noted that he has since gone to the doctor’s office “every three months for checkups.”

“I was trying to keep calm about it but it wasn’t until [his skin cancer surgeon] Dr. Michael Albom really explained to me that what I had, in a way, was the kind of skin cancer you want to have if you’re going to have it. Basal cell carcinoma is just something you have to deal with. It’s cancerous. It will grow. You just have to get it out”.
