‘Fantastic Four' and ‘Nip/Tuck' star Julian McMahon dead at 56
The news was confirmed by a statement on the official 'Nip/Tuck' Facebook page, and an additional statement from his wife Kelly McMahon who told Deadline on Friday that her husband 'died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.'
McMahon starred opposite Dylan Walsh in the Ryan Murphy-created 'Nip/Tuck' following two upscale plastic surgeons and their exploits. The series ran for six seasons between 2003 and 2010, and was nominated for 18 Primetime Emmys, winning one for best prosthetic makeup.
Concurrently, he played Dr. Victor Von Doom in the 'Fantastic Four' movies costarring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans from 2005 and 2007. (Dr. Doom is the villain soon to be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday.')
McMahon's notable additional credits include recurring characters on TV's 'Charmed' and 'Profiler.' The Australian-American actor also recently appeared in 'FBI: Most Wanted' and Netflix's 'The Residence.'
With a resume of credits that began in the late 1980s, McMahon worked up until recently, with a role in the new Nicolas Cage movie 'The Surfer,' out this summer.

Fisherman captures incredible moment 'not often witnessed by people' off Aussie coast
A fisherman has captured the incredible moment a ray appeared to "fly through the air" as it attempted to evade a predator along the Australian coast this week, with millions of people around the world stunned by the tactic. Brody Sutton was fishing off the coast of Cape York in Queensland last week and pulled out his camera after seeing a hammerhead shark and ray speed through the shallows. As the shark made a beeline towards its prey, the ray leapt out of the water in a stunning display of athleticism, causing the shark to become disorientated and momentarily lose sight of its prey. Lawrence Chlebeck, a marine biologist from Humane World for Animals, told Yahoo News the ray in question was likely a cownose or mobula ray. Unlike the more commonly known stingray, which stays close to the seafloor, these other species swim through the middle of the ocean and are known to use their "fins like wings". "What it's doing is breaking the line of vision that the hammerhead has on it, so just by quickly exiting the water, it can break that focus that the shark has, and you can tell the predator loses it shortly after because of it," Lawrence explained. It's a common tactic deployed by rays, but it's "not often witnessed by people". "This is definitely something that small fish and rays have the ability to do. This little guy was able to leap up, and it was very effective. All they need to do is get a split second to break the visual connection that the predator has on it," Lawrence said. 🐟 Calls for national response as beaches turn into 'graveyards of fish' 👨 Fisherman's incredible catch set to 'feed whole family' for months 🎣 Fishermen catch fish 'rarely seen' in Aussie waters The footage has gone viral within a number of days, with the video reshared in places like the US and the UK. It is unclear whether the ray was able to successfully escape its predator by swimming under the boat, or if the shark got it in the end. "This is crazy," one person responded online, while another said the jumping ray was "Pokemon level crazy". Do you have a story tip?

Fans Still Believe in LeBron James, 40, After Seeing Latest Photo
Fans Still Believe in LeBron James, 40, After Seeing Latest Photo originally appeared on Athlon Sports. LeBron James is set to return for his 23rd season in the NBA. What's not clear, however, is if he will be with the Los Angeles Lakers when the 2025-26 season starts. Advertisement After James picked up his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers, his agent and good friend Rich Paul made it clear that the 40-year-old star "wants to compete for a championship" and "values a realistic chance of winning it all." The statement fueled speculation that James would ask for a trade if the Lakers fail to build a legitimate title contender around him and Luka Doncic. Since then, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors have been linked with James in a possible trade or buyout. Amid the rumors, however, the four-time NBA MVP is keeping his focus on preparing his body for the rigors of another grueling campaign. On Sunday, James posted a mirror photo of himself showing off his ripped physique.
