'X-Men' actor Tyler Mane announces breast cancer diagnosis: 'It's super rare'

X-Men star Tyler Mane has announced that he has breast cancer.

The 59-year-old actor, best known for playing Sabretooth in the 2000 hit, shared the “super rare” diagnosis on Monday, June 8.

“I have some bad news. I start chemo today,” Tyler said in a Facebook video. “One in 750 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and I’m one of them."

“Because it’s rarely talked about, it’s usually found at later stages and has worse outcomes. I want to change that," he continued.

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor added that he wants to document his treatment journey to raise awareness about male breast cancer.

“Come along for my journey to kick this thing in the as*,” said Tyler. “Send this to 10 of your friends and have them follow me because people need to hear this. F–k cancer!”

The Halloween star added that he initially wanted to keep his diagnosis private.

“Yep. I have breast cancer. And yep, it’s super rare. Only 1% of breast cancers are men,” he penned in the caption.

"I’ll be honest, my first reaction was to keep it secret. I mean it’s kind of embarrassing. But then I found out that men are more likely to be diagnosed in advance stages BECAUSE it’s not talked about and not looked for. In fact, my doctors all dismissed it and it was only because my wife pushed me to get the lump removed that I got in early," Tyler continued.

The Hollywood star added, "So let’s start talking about it! 1 in 755 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and if caught early, it’s VERY treatable. Time to answer the Wake Up Call! Like, Save, Share, Comment let’s spread the word!"
