Celebrities have a huge impact on our culture. They drive trends, influence fashions, and can even inspire insightful thoughts. Actor Hugh Jackman recently created a buzz, not for announcing his upcoming role as Wolverine in "Deadpool 3," but for the attention he called to basal cell carcinoma awareness. "The Greatest Showman" actor has revealed he had a cancerous growth removed from his nose, inspiring a conversation on this most common form of skin cancer.
