Hollywood is remembering Julian McMahon.

Following his wife confirming the news

with deadline that the actor passed away

at the age of 56 after a private battle

with cancer. Many of his former co-stars

have paid tribute to Julian on social

media. His charmed co-star Alyssa Milano

writes alongside a series of images with

the late actor, “I’m heartbroken. Julian

McMahon was magic. He walked into a room

and lit it up. Not just with charisma,

but with kindness, with mischief, with

soulful understanding. We spent years

together on Charmed. Years of scenes,

stories, and so many in between moments.

He made me feel safe as an actor, seen

as a woman. He challenged me, teased me,

supported me. We were so different, and

yet somehow we always understood each

other. Julian was more than my TV

husband. He was a dear friend. The kind

who checks in, the kind who remembers.

Rest, my friend. I’ll carry your laugh

with me. Forever Cole, forever Julian.

And actor Yoan Griffin, who starred in

2005’s Fantastic 4, as well as his 2007

sequel, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver

Surfer alongside Julian, writes on

Instagram, “This is terribly sad news.

Even though we played each other’s

nemesis, there was always so much

lightness and laughter working together.

Every encounter with him was a joy. It

was an honor to be Dr. Richards to his

Dr. Doom. My heart goes out to his wife

and family. Godspeed, Julian.
