Hugh Jackman is recovering from another skin cancer scare. A representative for the "Les Miserables" actor has told E! News that Jackman received another treatment for Basal Cell Carcinoma and he is "all good." The recent procedure is the third treatment he received in less than a year.
Jackman was first treated for skin cancer on his nose in November 2013. He was treated again for similar problem in May. In the wake of the health scare, Jackman urged people to wear sunscreen and get checkups.
"We are all human, this happened to me, I didn't wear sun screen when I was a kid. I don't want kids to be as stupid as me and maybe they'll listen to Wolverine more than they'll listen to teachers at school. It's all preventable. I was lucky to be in a job, where I have makeup artists looking at my face, going, 'What is that?' " he told ABC News. "And my wife nagging me to go and get it checked out."
After news of him receiving third treatment hit the web, Jackman shared another message on Instagram on Monday night, telling fans to wear sunscreen to protect their skin. "SUNSCREEN!" he captioned the image.
Despite the cancer scare, the Wolverine depicter in "X-Men" movies apparently was in good mood. He also shared a photo of him and his dog Dali in the morning.
