For millennials, Hugh Jackman will always be the definitive Wolverine. Sadly though, his upcoming film ‘Logan’ will be his last take on the role.  But that’s not as sad as the news that Jackman broke recently. If you didn’t know, Jackman has had a cancer condition for a couple of years now and it keeps recurring. This time around, it came back for the sixth time. Jackman broke the news almost 15 hours back via an Instagram post and told his fans that he is fighting it with all his might.

Another basal cell carcinoma. Thanks to frequent body checks and amazing doctors, all is well. Looks worse with the dressing on than off. I swear! #wearsunscreen

Basal cellcarcinoma, also known as BCC, is type of skin cancer caused due to excessive exposure to sunlight. Although it’s not fatal, it surely can cause disfigurement if left untreated. Hi most recent encounter with it was back in 2013.   Since then he has been treated 5 times for the same condition. We wish our beloved superhero a speedy recovery!
