Hugh Jackman Urges People to Do Just This One Thing for Their Skin

In a career spanning three decades, Hugh Jackman has garnered immense love and admiration from his fans and audience alike. It is no secret that a major chunk of his fan following is due to his iconic portrayal of Wolverine in the X-Men film franchise. Well, regardless of whether you love the man as the mutant superhero or for his other works, you can not help but “marvel” at how phenomenally youthful he looks at 55. For those wondering about the secret behind his youthful looks, there is one piece of advice the actor has to offer regarding skincare. Read on to know what it is.

Hugh Jackman’s age-defying public appearances have sparked many debates. Even at 55, the Prisoners star never fails to deliver rigorous, high-intensity action scenes with perfection. And who can forget how gracefully he sings and dances? His performances in The Greatest Showman and Les Misérables are a testament to the same!

Now that the Australian actor is all set to reprise his role as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool movie, it just seems all the more amazing! Jackman has previously opened up in his interviews about the intense fitness regime he follows to bulk up for this role, which has impressed his fans even more.

But did you know that just like his on-screen character, Hugh Jackman is also a fighter in real life? The Logan actor’s battle against skin cancer unfolds as a truly inspiring narrative. In fact, he had undergone at least six surgical procedures to remove basal cell cancer from his face. Jackman’s fight against skin cancer made him very vocal about its prevention. Since his first diagnosis, the actor has consistently advocated for sunscreen usage through interviews and social media posts. Sunscreen, as we know, creates a protective barrier that prevents the skin from absorbing UV rays, significantly reducing the chances of developing skin cancer. In one of his Instagram posts, Jackman highlights this fact, saying, “If I can just take this opportunity to remind you, summer is coming for us in the Northern Hemisphere. Please wear sunscreen. It is just not worth it, no matter how much you want a tan…trust me… This is all stuff that happened 25 years ago, [and] it’s coming out now. Put some sunscreen on…” Under the caption for the same post, Jackman wrote, “I know you’ve heard me talk about my basal cell carcinomas before. I’m going to keep talking about them if need be. And if it reminds even one person to put on sunscreen with a high SPF, then I’m happy.” This commitment will most definitely earn him respect and admiration from all quarters.
