McMahons

A cause of death has been revealed for Aussie actor Julian McMahon, who played Dr. Doom in two “Fantastic Four” movies and Christian Troy in the TV drama “Nip/Tuck,” among other roles.

McMahon died of cancer, according to a statement from Kelly McMahon, his wife.

He had head and neck metastatic cancer, and he ultimately succumbed to lung metastasis, according to CNN, which obtained a cremation approval summary report from the medical examiner’s office in Pinellas County, Florida. An investigator with the office declined to confirm the details of the report in an after-hours call with The Times.

McMahon died July 2 at age 56. His remains have been cremated, the medical examiner’s report said.

“Julian loved life,” Kelly McMahon said in her statement. “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.”

A representative for the actor could not immediately be reached.

Those who worked with McMahon took to social media to mourn the loss of the actor.

Joely Richardson, who played the role of Julia McNamara on “Nip/Tuck,” shared a statement on Instagram following McMahon’s death.

“We worked together for many years, covering every possible storyline and then some,” said Richardson. “I remember the episode when we all had to age up with prosthetics — how we laughed then, and how it’s making me cry today … You lived a large life my friend, bravo.”

Alyssa Milano recounted her memories with McMahon on the set of “Charmed.” The pair’s characters — Phoebe Halliwell and Cole Turner — were married in the ’90s fantasy series.

“Julian was more than my TV husband,” Milano said on Facebook and Instagram. “He was a dear friend. The kind who checks in. The kind who remembers. The kind who shares. The kind who tells you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable — but always with love.”

McMahon had many roles on his resume. One fan noted in an X comment that, no matter what part he played, his performance was captivating.

“Julian McMahon had that rare presence — magnetic, mysterious, unforgettable. Whether a villain or a hero, a conflicted soul or a charming friend, he pulled you in,” one user shared in an X comment.

“Julian McMahon’s legacy will live on,” another user shared in an X post. “Through Charmed, through Cole Turner. He raised many kids around the world he didn’t even know about.”

McMahon is survived by his wife, Kelly, and his 25-year-old daughter, Madison, according to People. He had Madison with his ex-wife, Brooke Burns, who played Jessie Owens in “Baywatch.” The two divorced in 2001.

Burns shared a picture of McMahon with their daughter on Instagram. The caption included only a broken heart emoji.

On Tuesday, McMahon’s family posted a picture of the smiling actor to his Instagram account.

“For all of those who loved Julian, thank you,” the caption read.

The world of showbiz is mourning the loss of Australian star Julian McMahon and one of his most popular roles is available to watch completely free

Julian McMahon’s iconic role in one of the most popular fantasy dramas ever is available to stream totally free of charge.

The Australian-American actor, known for portraying Doctor Doom in the original Fantastic Four films and Dr. Christian Troy in the medical drama Nip/Tuck, sadly passed away from cancer on Wednesday, 2nd July this year.

Following his death in Clearwater, Florida, his wife Kelly Paniagua said in a statement via 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.”

The actor most recently appeared opposite Nicolas Cage in the surreal thriller film The Surfer, but countless fans will remember him from a totally different role.

From the third season of the hit fantasy drama Charmed he portrayed the half-demon lawyer Cole Turner aka Belthazor, sent to menace the coven before falling in love with Phoebe Halliwell (played by Alyssa Milano).

He appeared as a major recurring character across three seasons, finally making a guest spot in the penultimate seventh instalment.

Following McMahon’s devastating passing, there’s no better time to relive one of his most iconic roles as all eight seasons of Charmed are available to stream on ITVX in the UK.

If you’ve never seen the series before, there are millions of fans out there who would all give it a stirring recommendation.

One rave Google review called it a “power-packed show with its perfect blend of fantasy, drama, and a strong portrayal of sisterhood.

“My heart melted for Charmed, gifting me with an avalanche of beautiful memories.

“It was the hard-hitting storyline coupled with mesmerizing performances and character growth that made the show a treasure that warms my heart today.”

And plenty of fans agree McMahon’s appearances were some of the show’s strongest episodes.

A Redditor claimed “Cole carried the show”, adding: “I’ve been rewatching the show and I’ve noticed what a great character Cole was.

“I feel like he had the most nuanced acting. He has a schoolboy charm about him that’s very cheeky.”

To which someone else replied: “IMO, the best episodes/seasons were when Cole was one of the main characters.

“I feel like his character brought a certain depth to the show that it didn’t have prior to his arrival.”
