Hugh Jackman is seen by many Marvel fans as someone who is invincible and of course, that perception has something to do with the fact that he played Wolverine, a mutant who has the ability to regenerate and heal himself, for almost two decades in Fox's X-Men film franchise. Obviously, off-camera, he's still a normal human being after all but it's quite ironic that the Logan actor has been battling a type of skin cancer that has raised concern amongst fans in the past.



It's no secret to a lot of his fans that the Australian star has undergone medical treatment in the past for his basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. His condition was first made public in 2017 and now, it seems like his skin condition is once again bothering the Logan actor. Taking to social media, Hugh revealed that he's undergoing a skin biopsy over a potential cancer scare but his doctors assured him that it was nothing serious.

Posting a video of himself wearing a bandage on his nose, the screen and theater actor guaranteed fans that they have nothing to worry about while urging them to take the precautionary steps needed, like always wearing sunscreen because his condition can happen to literally anyone.
