“It’s a basal cell carcinoma, everything’s fine,” he said. “It is skin cancer but the least dangerous form of it, so it’s just something I have to get out after being an Aussie with English parents, growing up in Australia, it’s sort of the new normal for me. But everything’s fine. People have been so lovely, thank you.”
He also took the time to reiterate some important advice.
“Wear sunscreen!” he said. “And get a check-up!”
“So here’s the thing. One sunburn, you’re susceptible to cancer. one. And all of this is 25, 30 years after, the doctor told me,” he added. “Our rule, as kids, growing up, was you get burned and peel two or three times, then you’re set.”
