Hugh Jackman is awaiting confirmation that he has skin cancer.
The Australian actor announced today he’s just had two biopsies for what could be basal cell carcinomas.
“Basal cell, in the world of skin cancers is the least dangerous of them all,” he said in a video posted to Instagram.
“I’ll find out in two or three days.”
Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequently occurring form of all cancers.
The most common form of treatment is surgery, if the cancer isn’t removed in its entirety by the biopsy.
But he urged people to be sun safe.
