Julian McMahon, an Australian actor known for roles in television and film, sadly passed away last week after a fight against cancer, which he chose to keep confidential. Since the announcement, fans have flooded social media with their sympathies and tributes to the deceased celebrity. In remembrance, some of McMahon’s past colleagues have also paid tribute, among them Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs, who collaborated with McMahon on Charmed.
As a member of the Charmed cast, Julian McMahon played Cole Turner. He remained a regular cast member from Season 3 to 5 but also returned for a guest spot in Season 7. During his tenure on the show, McMahon worked closely with Phoebe Halliwell actress Alyssa Milano, who played his on-screen love interest. After news of McMahon’s death broke, Milano took to Instagram to share photos. The “heartbroken” actress also noted McMahon’s “talent,” “charisma” and “smile” before discussing their work on the show:
For numerous years, we shared our time on Charmed, experiencing countless scenes, stories, and those precious moments in between. He provided me a sense of security as an actress and as a woman. He pushed me, joked with me, stood by me. Despite our differences, there was always this unspoken understanding between us. Julian transcended the role of my TV spouse; he became a cherished friend. The kind who reaches out, remembers, shares, and tells the truth – even when it’s tough – all done with love.
On the WB show (which is streamable with a Peacock subscription), Cole is a half human/half demon who’s sent to kill Phoebe and her sisters. However, the two eventually fall in love and, after Cole eliminates the more unsavory half of himself, he and Phoebe tie the knot. The marriage doesn’t last, given Cole takes another villainous turn, yet their relationship is still loved by fans today. Of course, while on the show Julian McMahon also worked with Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper Halliwell, and she honored him on IG:
Unique beyond belief, your vibrant spirit and humor that defies convention will leave a profound void. The merriment and amusement you sparked will forever linger in our hearts. May you find the one who awaits you, and continue dancing among the roses.
In her post, Holly Marie Combs shared several pictures and a poignant message that resonated deeply. The concluding part of the tribute is especially poignant as it seems Combs was referring to her co-star from “Charmed”, Shannen Doherty, who passed away in 2024 after a prolonged fight with cancer. Known for portraying Prue Halliwell during the first three seasons of the show, Doherty’s memory will continue to live on.
Julian McMahon’s wife, Kelly, disclosed through a statement (which was subsequently shared with Deadline) that it was Julian who had been diagnosed with cancer. The statement further revealed that Julian passed away on July 2, in Clearwater, Florida. Kelly also requested “compassion and understanding during this difficult period as her family prefers to mourn their loss privately.
In the wake of her appearances on shows like Charmed and Pretty Little Liars, Holly Marie Combs offers a candid perspective on how these two casts compare.
As a devoted fan, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing McMahon grace various significant roles across his illustrious career, earning him a place in several adored fandoms. His portrayal of Dr. Christian Troy in the critically acclaimed series Nip/Tuck was lauded, even landing him a Golden Globe nomination. McMahon also donned the badge as Jess LaCroix on FBI and its offshoots, leading the latter, Most Wanted, before parting ways after Season 3. In cinematics, McMahon has appeared in films such as Premonition, Red, and most recently, The Surfer. However, it’s his portrayal of Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four films that has cemented him as a household name. Just last month, McMahon warmly responded to Robert Downey Jr.’s taking over the role.
It’s tough to accept that Julian McMahon has passed away. However, what gives me solace is seeing how his Charmed co-stars and fans are paying tribute to him now. Given the impact of his work on our culture, I have no doubt that his contributions to TV and film will continue to be valued for a long time. At present, we at TopMob send our deepest condolences to McMahon’s family during this difficult period.
