Hugh Jackman toasts his good health with double martinis as he celebrates negative results of two biopsies
Hugh Jackman has toasted his good health with not one but two martinis, days after announcing he was skin cancer free after two biopsies.
The Australian actor, 54, took to Instagram on Easter Sunday to document his celebrations and shared a video of him jovially sipping a martini at a restaurant.
Raising the glass to his mouth, the Wolverine star said “number two down” and held up two fingers with a wide smile.
Hugh, who is on a strict diet as he prepares to play Wolverine in Deadpool 3, simply captioned the post: “A rare opportunity.”
It comes days after Hugh shared a positive update about his recent skin cancer scare.
The Hollywood star revealed on Tuesday that he had two biopsies after his doctor noticed “little things” that could be basal cell carcinoma – the most common form of skin cancer.
The Wolverine star confirmed in an Instagram story that the biopsies had returned with a negative result.
My biopsies were negative!!! Thank you ALL for the love. I feel it!’ he was excited.

The Golden Globe winner also thanked fans and media for spreading awareness.
He reminded fans to be safe from the sun and “wear sunscreen with a high SPF” no matter the season.
Hugh had shared a video earlier this week of himself wearing a bandage over his nose, believed to be where the biopsies were taken.

In 2017, The Greatest Showman star had six skin cancers removed from his face within a two-year period. In 2021, he had an inconclusive result after a biopsy on his face, which showed BCC was the worst it could be.
He told ABC News in 2015 that his childhood was “all outdoors,” and that protective ointments like sunscreen weren’t a priority in his family.
“I don’t think my mom or dad ever bought it or forced us to put it on,” he said.
“What I remember most, the rule about being outside, was that you couldn’t swim within half an hour of eating … and that’s not true.”
