Hugh Jackman has revealed he is undergoing more tests after having another skin cancer scare.
The 54-year-old actor took to social media to urge his followers to take sun safety seriously as he revealed his health news.
Wearing a bandage on his nose, the Wolverine star said he is expecting his results in the next few days.
The Australian had his first skin cancer removed back in 2013 and has since had at least six procedures.
Jackman explained his doctor had noticed "little things which could be, or could not be basal cell [carcinomas]".
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is non-melanoma and usually appears as a small, shiny pink or pearly-white lump with a translucent or waxy appearance. It can also look like a red, scaly patch, according to the NHS.
Overall, treatment is successful for at least 9 out of 10 people with non-melanoma skin cancer.
The actor reassured his fans the cancer is the "least dangerous" but hopes his scare leads to others staying safe in the sun.
"Please wear sunscreen, it is just not worth it, no matter how much you want a tan. Trust me!" he said.
"This is all stuff that happened 25 years ago and it's coming out now. Put some sunscreen on and you'll still have an incredible time out there. Please be safe."
Back in 2015, Jackman told People magazine his skin cancer diagnosis had come as a surprise.
"It's always a bit of a shock just hearing the word 'cancer'," he said.
"Being an Australian it's a very common thing. I never wore sunscreen growing up so I was a prime candidate for it."
The Aussie actor is best known for playing Wolverine in the X-Men films and has also appeared in a number of other films such as Australia and Real Steel.
He was nominated for a BAFTA for his portrayal of Jean Valjean in the 2012 musical film Les Miserables.
Speaking on the One Show in 2021 about his medical scares, Hugh said: "It’s certainly not my first, I’ve had five or six of them now.
"It’s pretty common when you have English parents and they take you over to Australia and you play cricket out in the sun."
