After removal of several cancerous moles (one right under his right eye), Ewan McGregor is reportedly fine.
“I went to see a specialist who thought they were better to be removed, and indeed he was correct,” he said.
McGregor, who is promoting the erotic thriller Deception, insisted the surgery was “not that big of a deal”.
The star admitted he was aware that having pale skin and spending time in the sun meant he was more at risk, and it “was best to be looked at” by doctors.
When asked if he found the experience frightening he said, sarcastically: “It was great fun having skin cancer, it was great, I really enjoyed it.”
Yeah, early detection and this case – removal – is indeed critical.
There goes another reminder that the sun isn’t always our friend, especially if you’ve got a fair complexion.
