Given he's a fair skinned redhead living in LA, it's unfortunately not surprising that the actor has endured treatment for skin cancer on his face.

Posting to his Instagram, the 40-year-old said: "Thank you to Dr. Bennett & his entire team for taking the cancer out of my face. Good luck hiding the stitches tomorrow @modernfamily_makeuphair! #youwannaapieceofme #phantommask #spf75"

To be fair (no pun intended), he's lucky it's where it is. My sister has it right bang smack in the middle of her nose.
