Honestly, this one hits hard. Julian wasn’t just another actor on screen—he was the kind of performer who left a lasting impression with every role. Whether you knew him as the seductive and tormented Cole Turner in Charmed , the complicated and charming Dr. Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck , or the stoic and commanding Jess LaCroix on FBI: Most Wanted , Julian brought a presence that was impossible to ignore.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Julian came from a background of significance—his father, Billy McMahon, even served as Prime Minister of Australia. But Julian carved his own path. He started as a model and then transitioned into acting, first on Australian soaps like Home and Away , and then onto Hollywood. I remember watching him evolve from daytime dramas like Another World to primetime hits, eventually finding his breakout in Nip/Tuck . That role didn’t just make him famous—it made him unforgettable.
He wasn’t only on television. On the big screen, Julian became iconic as the villainous Dr. Doom in the Fantastic Four movies. And just recently, he played a fictional Australian Prime Minister in Netflix's The Residence , a fitting nod to his real-life roots.
Julian's wife, Kelly McMahon, shared a beautiful and emotional tribute, saying he “loved life... his family, his friends, his work, and his fans.” She added that his greatest wish was to bring joy to as many people as possible. And he truly did. Whether he was playing a hero, a villain, or something in between, Julian poured his soul into his craft. You could feel it.
He’s left behind a legacy of unforgettable roles, powerful performances, and a fanbase that truly loved him. And now, while he may no longer be with us physically, his work lives on—and so does the joy he brought to millions around the world.
Rest in peace, Julian McMahon. You were one of a kind.
