Australian actor Julian McMahon, famous for his roles in Nip/Tuck, Fantastic Four, and more, has died.
The 56-year-old had previously been diagnosed with cancer, which he faced privately, having not shared his condition with fans.
He died on July 2 in Clearwater, Florida, with his wife, Kelly McMahon, sharing a statement.
‘With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,’ she began.
Kelly continued to Deadline: ‘Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible.
‘We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.’
The Sydney-born actor is also survived by a daughter, whom he welcomed in 1999 with second wife, Baywatch star Brooke Burns.
McMahon’s first wife was pop star and TV personality Dannii Minogue, whom he wed in 1994 after meeting on the set of Home and Away.
Career-wise, he was most famous for playing Dr. Christian Troy on the FX series Nip/Tuck for six seasons.
He also starred as Jess LaCroix in CBS series FBI: Most Wanted, which he departed from in March 2022 after three seasons.
McMahon also had a dazzling film career, appearing in two Fantastic Four movies as Dr. Doom, and starring just recently in 2024’s The Surfer and The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat.
