Julian McMahon - who starred in Nip/Tuck and FBI: Most Wanted - has passed away at 56 after a private health battle.

The 56-year-old Australian-American actor had been secretly battling cancer, his wife Kelly revealed in a heartbreaking statement on Friday.

His wife said : '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.'

Julian's last public appearance was alongside Nicolas Cage at SXSW in Austin, Texas back in March as he looked thin as he promoted psychological thriller The Surfer.

Kelly - whom he married in 2024 - continued by expressing the love Julian had for his fans and those around him and what being an actor meant to him during his life.

'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.

56 is still so young, RIP, but respect for him for having kept this a secret from the media's (must've not been easy either given he is quite a high profile celebrity)
