Hollywood beloved star Hugh Jackman spoke to Who Magazine on his battle against skin cancer. He revealed that, in November of 2013, he discovered a drop of blood on his nose, which he thought was a self-inflicted injury with Wolverine’s prop claws, since he was shooting X-Men at the time.

His wife, Deborra-Lee Furness insisted that he see a doctor, until the actor buckled under the pressure and visited one.

The 47 year-old was informed then that he has skin cancer. Dr. Michael Albom explained what’s wrong in depth. The most shocking of all, however, was that Jackman stated he has gone through skin cancer four times in 18 months. Three on his nose and one on his shoulder. The actor revealed that the third time of the four, he had had exams three weeks earlier which had come out clean. Now, Hugh Jackman engages everyone to go and get something checked out if they think it’s growing or if they think it’s weird and out of place.
