Hugh Jackman gets tested for skin cancer again, advises people to wear sunscreen
Hugh Jackman is getting checked out for skin cancer once again.
The actor, who starred in films like "The Wolverine" and "The Greatest Showman," previously had skin cancer removed from his nose in 2013.
On Instagram, he shared that he recently had two biopsies done on his nose because his doctor saw what "could be or could not be basal cell."
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, according to John Hopkins Medicine.
In the video, he can be seen wearing a nose bandage after the biopsies.
"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 said.
According to People magazine, he has since gotten check-ups every three months.
"Please wear sunscreen," he said. "You'll still have an incredible time out there. Please be safe."
