X Men star Hugh Jackman stepped out in New York on Friday near his Manhattan home. The first time he'd been spotted since he confirmed on Twitter that he'd undergone treatment for skin cancer a second time.
Sporting a plaster over his nose, the star rocked sunglasses as he made his way along the road. He did look a little downcast, but after going under an operation you wouldn't exactly look that perky.

The actor urged his followers to use sunscreen and "not be foolish" when he posted an image of his bandaged nose on Twitter on Thursday, revealing he'd been treated once more for skin cancer.
He wrote: "Another Basel Cell Carsinoma [sic]. All out now. Thanks Dr. Albom and Dr. Arian. PLEASE! PLEASE! WEAR SUNSCREEN!"
Basal-cell carcinoma is the single most common form of cancer according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

It's the second time Jackman has required treatment following a similar scare last November. Then he'd seen a doctor after his wife Deborra-Lee Furness had encouraged him to get a "mark" checked.
The Aussie actor went on to praise the doctors who had carried out the treatment writing: "Huge thanks to Dr. Arian and Dr. Born for operating on my nose until 10:20pm! #SUNSCREEN"
