Wishing Mr Jackman the best possible outcome. I'm sure all will be fine “Hugh Jackman diagnosed with skin cancer bit.ly/18tPZRa ”

Ramin, who will be Broadway's new Jean Valjean in the forthcoming revival, met Hugh during rehearsals for the Oscar number from Les Miserables. I remember seeing a photo of them chatting together.


From a recent BWW interview before he started the revival of Les Miserables in Toronto --

PC: What was it like appearing on the Oscars with Hugh Jackman and the cast of LES MISERABLES for the big medley?

RK: It was amazing. I loved that whole LA week so much - especially working with the company. Having those 10 minutes with Hugh, though - I mean, there we were, just talking about the character and the cameras were all there snapping away at us. It was so encouraging to me, what he said - he told me about his process and I felt like, "Oh, yeah! I've done that! I do that! I'm gonna do that!" So, it was great to talk to him about it - I mean, you couldn't ask for two different Valjeans [than us]!

In case anyone missed Hugh's tweet --

Another Basel Cell Carsinoma. All out now. Thanks Dr. Albom and Dr. Arian. PLEASE! PLEASE! WEAR…

It is not the same spot, but it is scary that another area has been affected not too long from the first occurrence! Hope he takes the time to recover and set aside professional commitments, if necessary.


Get well soon, Hugh!

Huge thanks to Dr. Arian and Dr. Born for operating on my nose until 10:20pm! #SUNSCREEN

It looks like he worked first on his promotional duties for DOFP before he submitted to his surgical procedures.

With so many fans sending him well wishes I doubt that he gets to see too many but I hope he feels all the love in his heart. I sent mine as soon as I saw the official tweet from him.

Saw the small band-aid a couple days before & at the time I wondered to myself if he had a needle biopsy. I had worn a small band-aid yrs ago after I had one on the side of my face. My result was Squamous-cell carcinoma, a step below Melanoma but it was already pretty deep and left a pretty noticeable scar. I'm very glad that Hugh caught his early before it reached that stage. I'm concerned that it's recurring so quickly. Since he spent so much time in the sun in the past I worry that he's just begun to scratch the surface, no pun intended. Since it takes many years for damaged cells to become cancerous I'm sure he & Deb are being extra cautious, which means testing every new growth no matter how small. I hope he doesn't have to endure too many of these surgeries and especially no more on his face! Also hope if anymore are found that they will only be the basal cell stage.

The surgery is really so common I don't know many that haven't had basal cells on some part of their body!

Hugh Jackman Speaks Out About His Skin Cancer

At Saturday's global premiere of X-Men: Days of Future Past in New York City, the star, 45, had a bandage on the side of his nose – and a message for fans.

Asked how his face was doing, he chuckled and said, "My face? It's fine, it's good. Thank you for asking. I have a few stitches, I had a basal cell carcinoma taken out."

Hugh does think about the possibility of more recurrence --

BEIJING — Hugh Jackman said Tuesday he wasn't ready to give up playing the popular X-Men character Wolverine as he visited China to promote the franchise's latest movie, which includes local elements intended to appeal to the massive Chinese audience.

He also told The Associated Press that he thinks he will need future treatments for skin cancer after a second cancerous growth was removed from his nose last week.

"X-Men: Days of Future Past," the seventh movie in the mutant superhero franchise that has grossed $2.3 billion worldwide, premiered in Beijing on Tuesday. The Australian actor, who has appeared in every X-Men movie over 14 years, said it may have been premature for him to have said the next one would be his last.

The latest film sees Jackman travel back to 1973 to change history and save humans and mutants from destruction. It has Chinese elements, including the casting of Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, highlighting how Hollywood studios are keen to attract audiences in the world's second-biggest movie market as box-office revenue growth flattens out at home.

Fan, who has a small role as the teleporting superhero Blink, said that the movie would gross more in China because of her participation. When the movie's action moves to the superheroes' last place of sanctuary, a remote monastery, the Chinese subtitles indicate it is: "China." However, Fan said at a news conference Tuesday that some of the columns looked "European."


Jackman said there was a change in Hollywood owing to China's growing might.

"The Chinese market in particular is just booming, so the larger the market becomes the more the stories are going to reflect what that market wants," he said in an interview. "I see collaboration in every way as a positive. At the end of the day audiences sniff out cynicism, they sniff out if something is just a marketing driven thing."

Jackman, 45, whose nose was bandaged after a basal cell carcinoma was removed last week, said he will probably have many more cancerous growths. His type of skin cancer is slow-growing and often recurs, but it is highly treatable.

He told The Associated Press: "I'm realistic about the future and it's more than likely that I'll have at least one more but probably many more, which is not uncommon for an Aussie particularly from English stock growing up in Australia where I don't remember ever being told to put sunscreen on."

He added: "But the beauty of this is it's all preventable, it's just about getting proper check-ups. I can be typical man, a little lazy, I couldn't be bothered and now I'm not lazy at all."

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" will be released in China and the United States on May 23. It has an all-star cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry and Patrick Stewart. "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage, who plays a scientist wanting to destroy the mutants, was also in Beijing to promote the movie. The blockbuster franchise has grossed $2.3 billion worldwide.

While Jackman previously said that he was pretty sure he wouldn't act in any further X-Men movies after the next one, which is scheduled for release in 2017, he told the AP: "I think I might have overplayed my hand a little bit by saying I'm almost sure that the next one will be my last."

Jo, I hope that the only "recurrences" we all see are... Hugh acting in more Wolverine movies!

Now that's a welcome "recurrence".

I think I fixed it - try again in MY post above. . . or click here.

Oooohhhh... that is some 'morphing'... I guess we'll all have our favorites. I like Hugh better when he's not too skinny or his hair is not too short... or they haven't applied too much make-up...

Thanks, Valerie! smiley-signs101

Hugh Jackman seen with another bandage on his nose... months after revealing he expects more bouts with skin cancer

He's had two skin cancer scares in the past year.

And on Sunday Hugh Jackman wore a bandage on his nose while enjoying a family stroll through the West Village in New York.

The 46-year-old covered up in a large hooded jumper, baseball cap, and dark sunglasses while keeping the family pup on a leash.

Walking ahead of the X-Men star was his wife Debra Lee Furness, daughter Ava, and his son Oscar.

Oscar carried a box as he wore a bright snow jacket with hood, following in his father's footsteps in the fashion department.

Debra, 58, wore casual sweats as she pinned her hair back and donned reflective wayfarer sunglasses.



Staying safe: He's had two skin cancer scares in the past year and has vowed to get regular check ups


After an initial cancer scare last year, the actor had an operation to remove a basal cell carcinoma on his nose back in May - before urging his fans to always be cautious and 'please! please wear sunscreen!'

At the time Jackman said he will probably have many more skin cancerous growths following the removal of a second one from his nose.

The Australian spoke while in Beijing to promote his latest movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past.

He told The Associated Press: 'I'm realistic about the future and it's more than likely that I'll have at least one more but probably many more, which is not uncommon for an Aussie particularly from English stock growing up in Australia where I don't remember ever being told to put sunscreen on.'

He added: 'But the beauty of this is it's all preventable, it's just about getting proper check-ups. I can be typical man, a little lazy, I couldn't be bothered and now I'm not lazy at all.'

I had noticed what looked like a reddish streak on the side of his nose during the TimesTalks session. I was half afraid he was testing again for another skin cancer surgery.


Hoping for his fast and comfortable full recovery!

I just saw this too.....and I definitely noticed it during the Timestalk (a family member has had many of these surgeries, so I'm familiar with what these spots look like). Although Hugh himself said he would have more, I was sure hoping he would beat the odds.  

[jo]

The reddish blot was also there in the instagram image he posted re fishing equipment ( warning kids not to try it at home).

It must be so difficult for him and his family to have this threat every now and then.

Jo

[mamaleh]

After the Daily Mail story, someone commented that it might be from dermabrasion...? I don't know anything about the procedure.

Ellen

[jo]

Hope you're right, Ellen.

Maybe it is the image ( he is wearing a hoodie on top of his baseball cap...and looking a bit downcast) which gives the impression that not everything is alright?

He'll probably update on his Twitter account?


Here's some info on the dermabrasion procedure --

My brother has had basil cell procedure several times, and I've had it once. The surgery itself is an in office procedure, but the post surgery daily dressing the wound routine can be annoying and uncomfortable. I make sure to be checked regularly...the price to pay for childhood sun bathing in Southern California without sunscreen. Hugh is taking care of it in a timely manner, but it must be frustrating when he is so busy.

It sure seems like odd timing, just before his play opens. But I also don't know anything about this. Let's hope for the best. I agree that part of my nervousness about these photos stems from his unusually droopy demeanor, but maybe he was just trying his best to stay inconspicuous, knowing the bandage would generate a lot of chatter.

[ocjackie]

One of my friends husbands gets it all the time. The good thing is, he takes care of it. And as long as he does, he will be fine. Hope he's himself soon. He's got a lot on his plate, especially as we all know, in the next week. Feel better soon, Hugh. We all care about you!!!

[mamaleh]

It was just someone's conjecture. I mentioned it because I thought someone might know something about the possibility. We obviously have no idea yet whether it's another lesion removal or what.

Ellen

[jo]

He looks alright!

Presumably this instagram image was taken today ?
