Jackman spoke about his battle with skin cancer in 2015. “It’s always a bit of a shock just hearing the word ‘cancer,’ ” he said. “Being an Australian it’s a very common thing. I never wore sunscreen growing up so I was a prime candidate for it.”
Basal-cell carcinoma is the most common form of cancer and is diagnosed over three million times throughout the year, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
