Julian McMahon's Cause of Death Revealed
The cause of death has been revealed for Aussie actor Julian McMahon, who played Dr. Doom in two 'Fantastic Four' movies and Christian Troy in the TV drama 'Nip/Tuck,' among other roles.
McMahon died of cancer, Kelly McMahon, his wife, said in a statement.
According to
CNN
, he had head and neck metastatic cancer, and he ultimately succumbed to lung metastasis, which obtained a cremation approval summary report from the medical examiner's office in Pinellas County, Florida.
McMahon passed away on July 2 at age 56. His remains have been cremated, the medical examiner's report said.
'Julian loved life,' Kelly McMahon said in her statement. 'He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible.'
Those who worked with McMahon took to social media to mourn the loss of the actor.
Alyssa Milano recounted her memories with McMahon on the set of 'Charmed.' The pair's characters — Phoebe Halliwell and Cole Turner — were married in the '90s fantasy series.
'Julian was more than my TV husband,' Milano said on Facebook and Instagram. 'He was a dear friend. The kind who checks in. The kind who remembers. The kind who shares. The kind who tells you the truth, even when it's uncomfortable — but always with love.'
Joely Richardson, who played the role of Julia McNamara on 'Nip/Tuck,' paid a tribute on Instagram. 'We worked together for many years, covering every possible storyline and then some,' said Richardson. 'I remember the episode when we all had to age up with prosthetics — how we laughed then, and how it's making me cry today ... You lived a large life my friend, bravo.'
McMahon is survived by his wife, Kelly, and his 25-year-old daughter, Madison.
He had Madison with his ex-wife, Brooke Burns, who played Jessie Owens in 'Baywatch.' The two went their separate ways in 2001.
Burns
shared
a picture of McMahon with their daughter on Instagram. The caption included only a broken heart emoji.
On Tuesday, McMahon's family posted a picture of the smiling actor to his
account.
'For all of those who loved Julian, thank you,' the caption read.

Robert Eggers Eyeing Reunion with Aaron-Taylor Johnson and Lily Rose-Depp on "Werwulf"
Yara Sameh Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who starred in director Robert Eggers' stylish vampire hit 'Nosferatu," is set to re-team with the filmmaker for his next film, 'Werwulf.' Moreover, Lily-Rose Depp, who led the 2024 gothic horror film, is also in talks to join the project. Eggers will direct the werewolf horror feature from a script he co-wrote with Sjón (the duo previously collaborated on 2022's 'The Northman' script). "Werwulf" is slated for a Christmas Day 2026 release in North America. Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title are producing alongside Eggers and Sjón, while Maiden Voyage's Chris and Eleanor Columbus are serving as executive producers. Focus Features most recently financed and released Eggers' critically acclaimed gothic horror film 'Nosferatu.' Eggers and Focus have partnered on all his films to date, also including 'The Northman,' 'The Witch' and 'The Lighthouse, for which Focus handled international distribution through Universal International. A reimagining of F. W. Murnau's 1922 silent German Expressionist film, 'Nosferatu' stars Depp as a young woman who becomes the object of desire for the terrifying vampire Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). Taylor-Johnson appears as Friedrich Harding, a vampire skeptic. Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe also star. The film was a success at the box office, sucking up a huge $40 million Christmas debut, nearly double its pre-release expectations. It ultimately grossed over $181 million worldwide. Taylor-Johnson most recently appeared in '28 Years Later.' Previous credits include 'Kraven the Hunter,' 'The Fall Guy,' 'Bullet Train,' 'Tenet,' 'Nocturnal Animals' and 'Godzilla.' Depp's additional credits include 'Wolf,' 'Silent Night,' 'Voyagers,' 'The Dancer,' 'The King,' and HBO's 'The Idol.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Why Donald Trump is facing doubts in the ‘manosphere'
Detroit CNN — Justin Centers fits the profile of many younger men who Justin Centers fits the profile of many younger men who helped power Donald Trump's political comeback last fall. He's a 21-year-old autoworker from the Detroit suburbs and was newly eligible to vote in presidential elections — a cross-section of traits Trump aggressively targeted in his bid to reclaim battlegrounds like Michigan. He's also a longtime fan of Theo Von, the shaggy-haired, free-wheeling comedian and podcast host whose viral interview with Trump last August signaled an emerging political shift among millennial and Gen Z men. Centers ultimately voted for Trump, and Von had a VIP seat at the inauguration. But in recent months, Von has expressed growing dissatisfaction with Trump's second stint in the White House — sentiments that were echoed by Centers outside Detroit's Fox Theatre as he waited to catch Von's stand-up tour. 'Completely being honest, I'm a little iffy now,' Centers said of the president. 'One of the things I primarily voted for was 'No new wars,' and unfortunately, that has been a big lie to my face. So, it's extremely disappointing to see that.' After losing men under 50 by double digits in 2020, Trump's campaign made a concerted push to reverse that trend. His outreach included appearances on podcasts and YouTube shows hosted by a growing universe of male comedians, pranksters, streamers and other right-leaning influencers who had cultivated large, loyal followings. The approach paid off and has already spawned copycats in both parties. Lately some of the most influential voices within the so-called manosphere have begun expressing concerns, if not outright regret, with Trump's return to Washington. Joe Rogan, who interviewed Trump on his top-rated podcast last October before endorsing him, recently called the new administration's immigration crackdown 'insane.' Von criticized Trump's bombing of Iran as a 'horrible idea,' saying it made the US look like it's 'working for Israel.' Billionaire X owner Elon Musk, once a prominent Trump ally and a key figure in reshaping the online media ecosystem, is now publicly warring with the president over the cost of his legislative agenda and promising to bankroll a third party. And comedian Andrew Schulz, a Trump supporter last year, told listeners of his 'Flagrant' podcast that the president was 'doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for.' Even unexpected corners of the manosphere have begun to show signs of revolt. Professional poker players, for example, have lashed out at Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' for changes in tax law that will require them to pay the government even when they lose money. 'You just really start to feel very disillusioned pretty quickly,' Von said in a recent podcast. Theo Von performs during Clusterfest in San Francisco on June 2, 2018. FilmMagic/Getty Images Warning signs At Von's recent Detroit show, Carhartt logos, camo and mullets mixed easily with A-frame hats, golf polos and tins of nicotine pouches. Plumes of vape periodically hovered over the audience. The crowd's overwhelmingly White complexion was a reoccurring source of material for the comedian. During a rollicking 90-minute set, Von didn't directly broach politics or Trump. But the conflicting feelings he has shared on his podcast were voiced by his fans, too. Steven Deuby, a 34-year-old mail carrier from Wayne County, scoffed at the price tag of Trump's massive tax cuts and spending package. 'Five trillion dollars? That's insane,' he said. But Deuby, an Army veteran, said he backed Trump's military moves to date and remained supportive of the president overall. 'There's stuff to criticize about Trump, but for the most part, I think he's doing much more important (stuff) than Joe Biden,' Deuby said. Walking up to the Fox Theatre in a Von T-shirt, Tyler Goldsmith said he understood the complaints from Von and others, but would give Trump the benefit of the doubt for now. 'When you go into your first year, you're not going to do what everybody wanted you to at the beginning, because there are going to be things that you have to retract on, that you have to take care of,' Goldsmith, a 32-year-old lawn-care business owner from Constantine in southwest Michigan. Polls midway through Trump's first year back in office suggest growing disapproval with his administration — and there are signs the shift is hitting these younger voters, too. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds that among men younger than 35, 40% approve of the way Trump is handling his job now and 60% disapprove, significantly worse than Trump's ratings with older men. In February, 44% of men under 35 approved and 54% disapproved. But whether this disenchantment presents trouble for Republicans or creates an opening for Democrats remains to be seen. While the concerns that are animating Von and other online influencers may produce compelling podcast content, they are less likely to dictate how young men vote in future elections, said David Winston, a veteran Republican pollster. Economic factors like wages and inflation weighed heavily on the minds of many voters last fall and likely will moving forward, he said. 'When a voter has just gone a different direction, they're the ones that can go back the other way. They just made a decision and now they're going to see if that worked or it didn't work,' Winston said. 'The idea that they could bounce back to Democrats is certainly very possible. Having said that, they left for a reason.' Centers, for his part, voiced frustrations on several fronts. He's a recent Tesla owner concerned Trump's vendetta against electric vehicles will ultimately hurt his purchase. He's also an expecting father who is worried about having a family in an economic environment he doesn't believe is improving. Still, Centers said he was unlikely to change to vote Democrat. 'A lot of stuff I identify with falls along the conservative agenda,' he said. Anger over Epstein White House advisers have long held concerns that many voters who helped elect Trump in November — including young men — are at risk of skipping a midterm election when he isn't on the ballot. Motivating those voters has been a top priority for Trump's political team as it seeks to maintain control of Congress. Mark Mitchell, the top pollster for the conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports, has publicly warned that the Trump's coalition could be fractured by his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, a longtime fixation for Rogan and other right-leaning podcasters favored by men. The Department of Justice concluded last week the accused sex trafficker killed himself in prison and did not keep a list of elite and high-profile clients, sparking outrage from MAGA conspiracists who had long been told otherwise by many in Trump's orbit. The CNN poll found 65 percent of men younger than 35 are dissatisfied with the amount of information the federal government has released about the Epstein case, while just 10% are satisfied. That's higher than the share of dissatisfied among the general population. 'What is enraging people right now is it's insulting our intelligence,' Schulz said on his podcast last week. On Saturday, Trump urged his supporters to move on from their Epstein outrage in a lengthy social media post — a message that landed poorly among some of Von's fans. 'You said you were going to show us (the Epstein files), now you're just being the very thing you said you were going to end,' said Ben, a chemical worker from Battle Creek, Michigan, who asked CNN not to use his last name. 'Not as transparent as what I thought.' He said Trump's posture on Epstein was the final straw. If he could go back, 'maybe I just wouldn't vote,' he said. Democrats wade in Amid the discontent, Democrats have sought to make inroads into the manosphere. Former Transportation Secretary and potential 2028 contender Pete Buttigieg appeared earlier this year on 'Flagrant.' Multiple outlets reported that Rogan recently interviewed Texas state Rep. James Talarico, a rising Democratic star considering a Senate bid. Von recently spoke at length with Rep. Ro Khanna, the progressive Democrat from California, and revealed he planned to chat with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2024, before a scheduling conflict postponed their conversation. (He also released an episode with Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican whom Trump has threatened to help defeat.) Schulz recently suggested democratic socialists like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders appear to be prioritizing America more than Trump. 'If MAGA wants to take this 'America First' thing back, they got to start looking out for America,' he said. Giving airtime to politicians across the spectrum isn't just a pivot from the Trump-centric content of the previous election cycle. Many of the most prominent male influencers dub themselves as independent thinkers unbeholden to either party. Regardless, Nathan Sheldon, a 35-year-old from Northville, Michigan, sporting a 'Don't Tread on Comedy' shirt at Von's show, told CNN he appreciated hearing from Democrats in full, unfiltered interviews. 'Them going on to platforms like Schulz and Rogan, I can finally hear some ideas,' Sheldon said. 'They're starting to stand out.' CNN's Jennifer Agiesta contributed to this report.
