Ewan McGregor Treated for Skin Cancer!

Not even Obi Wan Kenobi is immune from cancer. Ewan McGregor recently made light of his experience with skin cancer in an interview with the BBC. Fortunately, it looks like he caught the disease in time. Dotspotter star blogger, nyzombie, has the details…

Ewan McGregor has revealed that he was recently treated for skin cancer during a routine check-up.

The 37-year-old actor said he had discovered a cancerous mole just below his right eye.

"I went to see a specialist who thought they were better to be removed, and indeed, he was correct," he tells BBC News.

McGregor said the surgery was "not that big of a deal" and he is now "fine."

He is even keeping a sense of humor about the experience.

"It was great fun having skin cancer," he deadpanned. "It was great, I really enjoyed it."

I don't find anything funny about any kind of cancer, but I guess it's good that Ewan dealt with the situation and went through the whole surgery lightheartedly.
