Actor Tyler Mane, known for playing Sabretooth in the original “X-Men” film and for appearances in the franchise, says he has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Multiple outlets report that the 59-year-old made the disclosure publicly through social media, including posts on Instagram and Facebook, and frames the condition as rare in men. He describes the cancer as “super rare” and cites statistics that roughly one in 750 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Several reports add that his initial reaction was to keep the news private due to embarrassment, but he later decided to share it to raise awareness and encourage others—particularly men—to recognize symptoms and seek medical advice. NBC News and other sources say he is undergoing chemotherapy, with at least one report stating that he starts treatment immediately. The accounts are consistent that Mane’s goal is to prompt earlier checking and reduce stigma around a cancer type that is far less commonly associated with men than it is with women.
