Julian McMahon is DEAD TO ME?

Holy crap. that is definitely shocking.

Cancer.

His father was Australia’s Prime Minister?

Wow shocking. And scary. I was just speaking about him earlier this week and how I’m shocked Ryan Murphy doesn’t offer him work. He sticks with the same group of actors. I’d love for him to start using some of the actors we barely see anymore who were on his earlier shows.

Why couldn't it have been Trump?

Yes, R3,

Wikipedia and IMDb have yet to add his date of death.

Julian & Shannen. RIP.

He was hot!!!

Very sad. I’ve jerked off to his shower scene with Mario Lopez more times than I care to admit.

r9=Mario Lopez

Clearwater: was he a Scientologist?

Wow, are those dentures in R2 pic?

I used to watch nip tuck and he was nude a lot!

Wow, shocker.

Really shocking. I LOVED him in those early seasons of Nip/Tuck - so perfectly pretty, petty and smarmy - with some sophistication layered in.

Damn he was so beautiful. I remember him being on the cover of a gay mag around 2005 as an ally and always had respect for him because of it.

Cue DL's grief Nazis

Ugh...I really liked him. This sucks.

Who was he married to?

I just started watching The Residence last night. He has a small role but it’s good, so far.

RIP, he seemed like a good guy. I enjoyed him on Nip/Tuck, even though it was trashy and beyond far fetched.

Wow, I was not expecting that.

RIP.

Probably prostate cancer or something or maybe pancreatic.

I watched him in that FBI series as well on CBS.

Fuck, he looked bad.

I just checked his Instagram, he looked so healthy in May. Doesn't look sick at all

Looks like people who get lung cancer.

The Mario/Julian scene

I wonder if his being so thin was necessarily because of the cancer?

When were those pics taken?

He used to be married to Dannii Minogue, Kylie’s less talent sister.

Last May, r29.

Omg. Who’s number 3 for B-list sexy middle age white actors?

RIP.

Some lucky coroner is going to get to see his dick. Not fair!

What was this from?

Pancreatic cancer takes you fast like that

Oh man I lusted for this guy so much. So sexy and charismatic in Nip/Tuck. Fuck Cancer.

So sad. Hot looking white man.

Wow. He was just in "The Residence" and looked fine.

Good riddance.

He was great when Nip/Tuck was brand new and Famke Janssen was young and hot.

May he RIP.

Two of the more recent shock celebrity deaths both came from cancer and in Clearwater, Florida.

I think he was even on one of the soaps.

R34 I believe that's from the Aussie movie "Swinging Safari" with Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce from 2018.

March 2025

Wow. He looked awful.

Was not expecting that.

He was a axing playing a demon on Charmed.

Has Victoria Wyndham released a statement yet?

Since it was private, maybe it was butt cancer like Farrah.

He was married to Brooke Burns and has a 25 year old daughter with her. Brooke was the blonde who shared a taxi with Jack Black in Shallow Hal.

He looked like hell a year ago. Pancreatic cancer will take you in weeks. I’m guessing lung or kidney cancer.

R41 Who's the other?

So R4 turns this into a screed about Ryan Murphy's hiring practices?

Are these people even half-conscious?

So pancreatic cancer is the type of cancer I should be longing for? Always had a feeling I will go by lung cancer.

I gotta say, I admire him for keeping it private. People have such different approaches when dealing with cancer. Shannen Doherty was as public as can be. McMahon handled it in the complete opposite way, like Chadwick Boseman. My own mother handled it on a need-to-know basis, but didn't exactly keep it a secret. Not sure how I would handle it.

Business needs may guide the approach. If you're an actor and need the work (and health insurance), you're probably forced to keep it a secret. If they know you're ill, they may not hire you.

Just to be clear, it was not privates cancer.

No r55. It's very painful and can take longer than a few weeks. Months in the cases of two friends. Both were so drugged on dilaudid at the end they barely knew anyone.

Weird. I hadn't thought about him in years, and then today I randomly started thinking about his five-minute marriage to Dannii Minogue. I had no idea he was ill. RIP.

Wow, he looked skinny

Julian in the 90s.

Here is the Advocate magazine cover he did back in 2006.

He was so charismatic. Loved him in Charmed but he really shone in Nip/Tuck I wish Murphy had used him in an early AHS.

What a shock. RIP

He had a genuinely hot ass but he couldn’t live forever.

I won't believe it until Susan Dey releases her statement.

I didn't know he was just 56. I had him as slightly older. It's alarming that cancer deaths appear to be trending younger at a time when it felt like we'd made so much progress toward cure and treatment.

I started watching FBI Most Wanted because of him. Wonder if that's why he quit the show in 2022. I thought it was odd at the time that he left when he did, it was a decent program. RIP Von Doom

R65 was he vaccinated?

Julian was one of my celebrity sexual awakenings as a young gay teenager. I sometimes tuned in to Nip/Tuck just to watch him onscreen. He was terribly sexy. For some reason I thought he was older than 56.

Well, along with Michael Madsen that makes two. Who's the third 50- or 60-something to go?

I wonder if he could’ve had skin cancer. There’s a high rate of it in Australia and it looks like he spent a lot of time on beaches and in the sun. He did have basal cell skin cancer back in 2014.

R52 That’s not true. Pancreatic can be like a year+ of a battle depending on the stage.

[quote] Kylie’s less talent sister.

How are her spelling and grammar?

[quote] He was a axing playing a demon on Charmed.

?

[quote] it was not privates cancer.

[quote] I admire him for keeping it private.

So which was it?

Was is anal?

Pretty guys like Julian die young, yet it seems like the Big Orange Anus will live forever.

I wonder if his death will bring any kind of effect on the upcoming Fantastic Four film (either good or bad)?

All you have to do is refuse to die like Eva Marie Saint.

This is shocking indeed, much like Gavin Creel last year. RIP.

I wonder how many idiots asked him if he was on Ozempic

He's no longer suffering. RIP.

He played Ian Rain on Another World in the nineties. I don’t remember much about the character.

Poor guy. Pancreatic cancer is such a horrible, painful way to die.

Truly shocking.

The Dolt posted on Instagram regarding Julian’s death.

Great picture r86. I used to make fun of his eyebrows on Nip Tuck

R49. No, but Connie Ford did. She said it, "This is tough. It's like a kick in the CUNT!"

And yet in R46 he looks good next to the train wreck called Nicolas Cage.

Dear God, why’d you have to kill such hot snatch?!

I respect celebrities like him, Bozeman and Donna Summer who kept their cancer battles private - only revealed by their families when they passed.

Passed.

This sucks ! Like everyone on the planet I adored him on Nip/Tuck . Ive never before or since been very attracted to men who were too well groomed but he was the exception . He was so sexy . Not to mention he was also a good actor. I cant believe he was younger than me. I always thought him my age or a tad older.

R86, why is Brian Krause called The Dolt?

May 2024

[quote]Cannes - The Surfer Party Julian McMahon and Lorcan Finnegan attending The Surfer Party held at the Plage Magnum at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Majestic Hotel on May 17, 2024 in Cannes, France.

R65. Susan Dey is stunned and too much in shock to release a statement at this time.

Although she was known to never miss and episode of Nip/Tuck.

Goddammit, this is sad. Handsome guy, seemed like such a nice man.

R16- I would have respected him more if he had come out of the closet.

I guess this is why he left the FBI show.

100!

My favorite Nip/Tuck episode was when Shitbra guest starred as a woman whose husband was in the service, so she used her Golden Retriever to service herself....

The marriage to Dannii made me think he was gay. And a famewhore (a famewhoreback then, anyway.) They garnered much attention by revealing exclusive details about their relationship and divorce to trashy mags - even giving interviews and posing for photos on their honeymoon.

RIP.

Whatever the FUCK that means R88!

I hadn’t seen recent pictures of him but he was very thin in all of them, which was not his typical body type. He was always a very beefy guy. I’m assuming he was on chemotherapy for the last year or so based on those images.

And yet Keanu…

He was gorgeous, but he had some plastic surgery which messed up his face.

I found him looking too thin on his last episode of FBI.

[quote] 100!

Yay! I’m so happy.

[quote] why is Brian Krause called The Dolt?

Poster(s) on Television Without Pity used to refer to him as “The Dolt” when Charmed was on.

wordy mcword

[quote] why is Brian Krause called The Dolt?

Poster(s) on Television Without Pity used to refer to Leo, Krause’s character, as “The Dolt” when Charmed was on.

RIP my childhood.

His porcelain veneers at r2 were... a lot, they remind me of Rylan Clark's chompers. I wonder if they'll be repurposed now or if they just throw them in the trash.

[quote] only revealed by their families when they passed.

Passed? Passed what, a test? A slow moving Winnebago?

He died FFS.

Awwww that’s a shame. I loved him on Carson and always wanted him to show up at my house with those Publisher’s Clearing House balloons.

He had an oddly untoned upper body, but he couldn't live forever.

R113 I fucking love you!

They’re dropping like flies!

Handsome guy and relatively young. Sad. RIP.

He had a hot ass, but couldn't live forever..

is so this post

R111 god I miss Demian. He was totally a datalounger

Has Dylan Walsh released a statement?

Why couldn't it have been Linda McMahon instead???

[quote]he had some plastic surgery which messed up his face.

Damned McNamara/Troy employee discount.

In 1993 he appeared in the movie "Wet and Wild Summer!" with Christopher Atkins.

Both showed their asses:

(Chris is on the left, Julian is on the right and some woman is in the middle)

Another pic of Chris & Julian:

Julian's butt in motion :

I loved him and Dylan Walsh on Nip/Tuck, before it jumped the shark. I don't know why neither of them had bigger careers.

They both had steady tv work

He had quite the choppers.

I liked Nip/Tuck but at some point it became too bizarre and way out. It was much better when it was rooted in reality. Guess they felt they needed to push the envelope and become super edgy and it became silly.

I stumbled on a website once that listed the cut versus uncut male celebrities. I was surprised that Julian was said to be uncut. That's very unusual for an upper class Aussie boy born in the 1960's. It definitely would have made him a minority at the posh, boys-only Sydney Grammar School.

I wish I could find that interview he did with E! News's Patrick Stinson in the early 2000s. McMahon flirted with Stinson hard during that interview, which made me wonder if he was bisexual or if he knew his flirting was making Stinson very uncomfortable on camera and did it for that reason alone.

His father was briefly Prime Minister of Australia. There were many rumours that he was gay. One story I heard was about his habit of engaging men in changing rooms in meaningless conversations while he stood there naked. He sometimes got a sore face as a result.

[quote]He looked like hell a year ago. Pancreatic cancer will take you in weeks. I’m guessing lung or kidney cancer.

Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer in January 2008.

He died nearly two years later in September 2009.

This is it with Dannii.

I'm shocked. This is really sad. He was one of my favorite actors. RIP.

In January 1994, Dannii Minogue married actor Julian McMahon, whom she met in 1990 while working on the television series Home and Away. McMahon was the son of the former Prime Minister of Australia Sir William McMahon and Lady McMahon. Minogue and McMahon were married for less than two years and divorced in 1995. Minogue stated that McMahon's mother, Lady Sonia McMahon threatened not to attend their wedding and caused a rift. In October 1995, Minogue posed nude in the Australian edition of Playboy. Commenting on the reason she posed nude, Minogue said she "just had a marriage break-up. Most women go to the hairdressers – I did Playboy. I chose the photographer, the location, what I did or didn't want to wear, and everything else about the pictures. I found it a really liberating, empowering experience." She later said that she had posed for the money, saying that she was broke following her divorce

[quote] I gotta say, I admire him for keeping it private. People have such different approaches when dealing with cancer. Shannen Doherty was as public as can be. McMahon handled it in the complete opposite way, like Chadwick Boseman. My own mother handled it on a need-to-know basis, but didn't exactly keep it a secret. Not sure how I would handle it.

I kept my cancer diagnosis very private after experiencing how my father’s siblings and family were during his long illness. They found out I was ill, were pissed they weren’t told and that I wanted to keep it quiet and not a one of them contact me or my immediate family.

You can’t win, because everyone else makes it about them.

My mother died of pancreatic cancer but they said she was too old for chemo. They said simply enjoy the time you have left and they put a stent in her. We thought she would die in 3 months instead she lived for 8. And she had her faculties(until they told her she was going to die. Then she started forgetting. fortunately.) But she was still ambulatory without aid. She went with my sister to see Diana Krall and that hit movie about the scientist( I think. Sorry forgot the name but she loved it.) But the stent broke and that was it she went in a matter of days. It was very painful and things happened I couldn't tell you because you would say too much information. She was put under heavy morphine and went to sleep. Her face became younger and she died in about two days. At that point I was out of tears, I cried so much when my sister gave me the diagnosis. I couldn't imagine the world without her.

Rosie O’Donnell played opposite him on Nip/Tuck, she has posted on IG.

I recently watched that movie he was in about the shark in the flooded grocery store.

Rose McGowan, 51, who starred alongside Julian in the hit series Charmed, took to Instagram on Saturday to pay homage to the star.

'Oh Julian, you force of brilliance,' she wrote.' For you, your family, and your loving fans all over the world, I pray for comfort.'

Alyssa Milano - "He walked into a room and lit it up — not just with charisma, but with kindness."

R135 Damn, he was gorgeous.

[quote] He had a hot ass, but couldn't live forever..is so this post

As it was at post R64 - genuinely.

R139- You are an absolute gem. And that speaks well of your mom. She must be proud wherever she is!

R37 yeah for a white guy he WAS attractive.

[quote] I liked Nip/Tuck but at some point it became too bizarre and way out. It was much better when it was rooted in reality. Guess they felt they needed to push the envelope and become super edgy and it became silly.

It was unwatchable by the end, but it stayed entertaining longer than most any other Ryan Murphy project. Credit to the two leads for making the most of the material they had to work with.

R137 Kylie couldn't have thrown her a few coins?

I loved his wide smile, veneers or not! When you get really thin like Julian did, yes it will make veneers far more prominent-

He was a great looking guy and you can tell that he was KIND. And Alyssa confirmed that.

He's kind of a modern day Heather Locklear minus the drug issues. Just a kind human.

[quote] Alyssa Milano - "He walked into a room and lit it up — not just with charisma, but with kindness."

She should've said "with charm."

Bad-dum tiss!

He must have taken Dannii to the cleaners in their divorce.

I think I saw on Reddit he died from colon cancer.

Apparently it was cancer, but I also read he was diagnosed with Parkinson's a while ago. This sucks. He seemed a fine guy.

R27 this looks horrible. The collar is also too wide, means he didn't bother to buy a fitting shirt anymore. The decline must have been rapid.

Michael Chiklis posted on his IG

It's just too bad he was stricken first with his follicular challenges. His rugs never worked.

[quote]Rosie O’Donnell played opposite him on Nip/Tuck, she has posted on IG.

Did she accuse him of being a liar?

[quote]Well, along with Michael Madsen that makes two

Mark Snow died.

He looks like Matthew Rhys.

R160 yes, that crossed my mind in a few photos of Julian. They did resemble one another.

Remembered by Ex-Wife Brooke Burns After His Death with Sweet Photo of the Actor and Their Daughter

This surprised me. Never heard he had cancer.

Remembered by Alyssa Milano, Ioan Gruffudd, Holly Marie Combs and More: 'One of a Kind Is an Understatement'

r157 They worked well enough, in my opinion.

Until you mentioned it, I didn't realize he wore a toupe.

Guess I wasn't paying close enough attention, unlike you.

Oh look!

There I am in R164's photo link!!!

Yay!!!

Variety.

[quote] Yay!!!

I’m so happy.

Wow. Holly Marie Combs looks like a trailer park Karen you'd see getting carried off a Southwest flight.

[quote]Wow. Holly Marie Combs looks like a trailer park Karen you'd see getting carried off a Southwest flight.

You must admit I do add a touch of panache and distracting charm to her usual attire.

Wow, Holly Marie didn't age well

R165, you're too short for that gesture.

They said it was bone cancer

Bone cancer sucks. It’s super painful.

The Ryan Murphy curse strikes again!

Fuck. Now a NipTuck reboot will never happen.

Nicolas Cage, who worked with McMahon on Stan’s latest thriller The Surfer, which was filmed in Western Australia in 2023.

McMahon and Cage, 61, both promoted the film at SXSW in Austin, Texas, in March, which was the actor’s last public appearance before his shock death.

“Our scenes together on The Surfer were amongst my favorites I have ever participated in,” Cage said of his co-star.

“And Julian is one of my favorite people,” Cage continued in his tribute.

“He was a kind and intelligent man. My love to his family.”

Julian checking out Mario's ass in the shower:

R86 I miss TWP. The guy who recapped--I think it was Damian or something--was so funny. I still use Raige and Phoebeast

New York Times obit.

R179 I don’t remember Damien calling phoebe that but he would often call her The Funbags or something if i remember right.

R178 truly one of the hottest homoerotic scenes in TV history

They both have flat asses.

Julian's was on the flatter side there, but Mario's? Are you blind?

Nip/Tuck was my favorite show in high school. I thought it was the most glamorous thing ever. This news is a real kick in the cunt.

[quote]This news is a real kick in the cunt.

So glad you were able to carry the glamour into adulthood!

Has Judi Evans released a statement yet?

Susan Dey would like a recommendation for a plastic surgeon. Until then, no comment.

[quote]why is Brian Krause called The Dolt?

[quote]Poster(s) on Television Without Pity used to refer to him as “The Dolt” when Charmed was on.

Thanks for the link, R109. I found a Reddit post that explains why he was called "The Dolt."

[quote]It was a recap website for shows that usually included a lot of snark and humorous insults.

[quote]The dude who ended up doing most of Charmed (think his name was Demian) described the show in a way I found downright hilarious. He also hated the fuck out of Leo and ended up only referring to him as “The Dolt.”

[quote]Sadly the loving jabs became blatant, open hostility as the quality of the show took a nosedive in season 5 and never really recovered. It came to point where I was only watching the show so I could get to the TWoP recap and laugh at it. I think it was a way to cope with the way the show went from being my favorite of all time and one I obsessed over at length to one I couldn’t stand. Those recaps kept me watching until the better end though!

[quote]If you start from the beginning, Demian was watching season 1 while seasons 3 or 4 were airing(I think) so there’s a lot of references to what came later that may spoiler stuff. But I think they actually started the recaps with a different recapped somewhere in season 1 through season 2. Demian officially took over with the season 3 premiere and his recaps are gold.

They found TWoP Charmed recaps using the Wayback Machine.

That shark movie with Atkins was only watched because 1. It was cheap and terrible and that made for OMG entertainment, and 2. Their butts.

Even their butts couldn't make it a success. It was atrociously bad.

Living in Florida was hazardous to his health. He had a great irreverent sense of humor when I saw him on talk shows.

he had over 16 million, according to reports I read today

16 million what?

How much did Danniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii pay for this headline?

He really didn't have much of a career after Nip/Tuck.

Who will Dannniiiiiiiiiii sell her story to? Will she get s cover out of it?

Head and Neck cancer that spread to his lungs... God man, what a bitch this life is...

[quote]They said it was bone cancer

That usually means the cancer metastasized. Bone cancer is usually cancer spread from somewhere is. It still doesn’t tell us the cancer he originally had. He could have had lung cancer that spread to the bone, which is usually stage 4.

how does one get head and neck cancer?

How does one get foot and mouth disease? They’re so far apart.

RIP Julia Mcmahon He is the reason I watched NipTuck

^ Sister George

His chemistry with Dylan Walsh was so good.
