Julian McMahon’s death on July 2 at the age of 56 after a battle with cancer rocked Hollywood, but his decision to keep his health journey private only reminded fans how his personal life was often kept off the paparazzi’s radar.

Julian McMahon's final public appearance came just four months ago at SXSW in Texas, where he walked the red carpet with Nicolas Cage.

Those who worked with McMahon took to social media to mourn the loss of the actor. Joely Richardson, who played the role of Julia McNamara on "Nip/Tuck," shared a statement on Instagram following McMahon's death.
