Australian actor Julian McMahon, known for the drama 'Nip/Tuck' and the movie 'Fantastic Four,' has passed away at the age of 56.
On the 5th local time (6th Korean time), McMahon's wife, Kelly, stated through an official position, "My husband Julian peacefully closed his eyes after fighting cancer." She commemorated the deceased, saying, "He loved life, loved his family, and truly cherished his fans and acting."
Julian McMahon last appeared in public at the SXSW Film Festival in March, where he promoted his film 'The Surfer' alongside Nicolas Cage. At that time, his somewhat emaciated appearance raised concerns among fans.
He gained international recognition for his role as the charming plastic surgeon Christian Troy in the FX drama 'Nip/Tuck.' In 2004, he was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Drama for this work.
In the 'Fantastic Four' movie series, he left a strong impression as the iconic villain Doctor Doom in the Marvel universe. He also made notable appearances in several Hollywood films, including 'Charlie's Angels,' 'Premonition,' and the 'Charming' series.
Julian began his acting career in the 1990s with the Australian drama 'Home and Away,' and later built a diverse filmography by appearing in works such as 'Charles' Magic,' 'Profiler,' and 'FBI: Most Wanted.'
Meanwhile, he is also well-known as the only son of Sir William McMahon, the 22nd Prime Minister of Australia. While he came from a prestigious political family, he chose to forge his own path through acting rather than the spotlight.
In his personal life, he was married three times and had a 25-year-old daughter, Madison, with his ex-wife Brooke Burns. His last work was the Netflix original series 'The Residence,' in which he played the role of the Australian Prime Minister, leaving a symbolic 'final scene.'
"I hope the joy he brought to many lives serves as comfort in enduring the sadness of parting." As his wife stated, Julian McMahon is now expected to be remembered forever beyond the screen.
