Jesse isn't the only star who has warned about the importance of using sunscreen, as Hugh Jackman has previously opened up about having skin cancer.
Jesse warned people after having skin cancer removed
Speaking on Live With Kelly back in 2017, he said: "It's a basal cell carcinoma. Everything's fine. It is skin cancer but the least dangerous form of it. So it's just something I have to get out. Being an Aussie with English parents, growing up in Australia, it's sort of the new normal for me. Our rule as kids growing up was that you get burned and peel two or three times then you're set. I mean, it was crazy."
He added: "You can be your own skin. I'm so happy for my kids. It's all changed."
