Hugh Jackman toasts his good health with double martinis as he celebrates negative results from two biopsies
Hugh Jackman has toasted his good health with not one, but two martinis, days after announcing he was skin cancer-free following two biopsies.
The Australian actor, 54, took to Instagram on Easter Sunday to document his celebrations and shared a video of himself happily sipping a martini at a restaurant.
Raising the glass to his mouth, the Wolverine star said, “Number two down,” holding up two fingers with a big smile.
Hugh, who is on a strict diet while gearing up to play Wolverine in Deadpool 3, simply captioned the post, “A rare opportunity.”
It comes days after Hugh shared a positive update on his recent skin cancer scare.
The Hollywood star announced on Tuesday that he had two biopsies after his doctor noticed “little things” that could possibly be basal cell carcinoma – the most common form of skin cancer.
The Wolverine star confirmed in an Instagram Story that the biopsies had come back negative.
“My biopsies were negative!!! Thank you ALL for the love. I feel it!’ he inspires.

The Golden Globe winner also thanked fans and media for spreading awareness.
He reminded fans to be sun safe no matter the time of year and to “wear high SPF sunscreen.”
Earlier in the week, Hugh shared a video of himself with 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 her face over a two-year period. In 2021, after a biopsy on his face, he had an inconclusive result that revealed the worst thing it could be was BCC.
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 dad or mom ever bought it or made us wear it,” he said.
“What I remember best was the rule of being outdoors was that you weren’t allowed to swim within half an hour of eating… and that’s not true.”
