The 45-year-old actor posted a picture of his bandaged nose on his Instagram account last night, saying he had gone to the doctor at his wife Deborra-Lee Furness’ urging.
“Deb said to get the mark on my nose checked,” he wrote. “Boy was she right!”
Hugh’s “mark” was reportedly a basal cell carcinoma that had to be removed immediately.
Although Hugh should now be cancer-free, he was shaken by his diagnosis and urged his fans to get any suspicious moles or lumps checked out.
“Please don’t be foolish like me,” he wrote. “Get yourself checked and USE sunscreen!”
