Tyler Mane, the actor known for his roles in “X-Men” and “Halloween,” is being treated for breast cancer, he revealed Tuesday.

The “super rare” diagnosis — men account for just one out of every hundred breast cancer diagnoses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — sparked the 59-year-old to urge men to get checked, the onetime wrestler said in an Instagram video in which he promised to “kick this thing in the a–.”

Mane said his first instinct was to hide the news out of embarrassment. But after realizing that that is how cancer goes unnoticed until its later stages, he decided to go public and use his experience as an example. He urged followers to “spread the word” so that more men would get checked and catch it early.

“Yep. I have breast cancer. And yep, it’s super rare,” Mane said. “One in 755 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and I’m one of them.”

Doctors had dismissed the lump he had found, he said in his post.

“It was only because my wife pushed me to get the lump removed that I got in early,” Mane said.

“So let’s start talking about it!” he captioned the video. “One in 755 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and if caught early, it’s VERY treatable.”

He urged followers to “like, save, share, comment” and “spread the word!”

Mane repeated that message on day two of chemo, when he tearfully thanked followers while assuring them, “I got this.”

The Canadian-born, 6-foot-9 Mane turned to acting after years of competing on the pro wrestling circuit under his given name, Daryl Karolat. He starred as slasher Michael Myers in the Rob Zombie remake of “Halloween” in 2007, and in “Halloween II” in 2009. He played Sabretooth in “X-Men” in 2000 and reprised the character in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” 2024.
