As a devoted fan, I can’t help but reminisce about the times I shared with Ioan Gruffudd, who breathed life into Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in our beloved superhero films. Despite portraying each other’s adversaries on screen, there was always an abundance of camaraderie, laughter, and joy during our collaborations. Each interaction with him was a cherished moment. It was a privilege to embody Dr. Richards opposite his Dr. Doom. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife and family. May Julian rest in peace.

Michael Chiklis, who portrayed Ben Grimm/The Thing in the Fantastic Four movies, posted a picture with Jessica Alba and McMahon on Instagram. He wrote, “I’m deeply saddened to learn about the death of my friend Julian. Life is incredibly precious and delicate. My heartfelt sympathies go out to his family. Rest In Peace Jules.

Dylan Walsh, a star in the series Nip/Tuck, recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter and said: “Dear Jules, you’re always pushing limits, but this time you’ve exceeded them. Let’s meet at the Biltmore, have a martini, and let’s sort things out. We’ll share a good laugh, your Hummer will be brought by the valet, and parked right behind my car with child seats and bird droppings on the window – we’ve laughed about this too many times. Now it’s just us. You’ll give me a peck on the cheek and say ‘Bye Dyl.’ Farewell, Jules.

Alyssa Milano, a cast member alongside Julian McMahon on Charmed, posted a series of images with him on her Instagram, expressing in part, “Julian McMahon was amazing… Over the years we spent together on Charmed, there were countless scenes, tales, and numerous moments in between. He made me feel secure as an actor. Valued as a woman. He pushed me, playfully tormented me, backed me up. Despite our differences, we always seemed to comprehend each other,” she reminisced. “Julian was not just my TV spouse; he was a cherished friend. The type who inquires about you. The type who recalls details. The type who shares. The type who tells you the truth, even when it’s tough – but always with affection.

Holly Marie Combs, another star from the show “Charmed”, expressed on Instagram: “Unique is not enough to describe it. Your infectious zest for life and your humor that made no sense but still made perfect sense will be deeply missed,” she wrote alongside pictures of the cast and McMahon with Shannen Doherty, who passed away last year. “The happiness and laughter you brought about will forever be etched in our memories. I hope you have found your lady friend and are dancing amidst those rose petals.

Oh Julian, you were a beacon of brilliance, raw talent, and humor. My thoughts are with you, your family, and all your loving fans worldwide. I hope they find comfort.

Kelly Carlson, a co-star from the show “Nip/Tuck”, shared an Instagram reel featuring them both. Meanwhile, Uzo Aduba, who starred alongside him in “Residence” and “The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat”, wrote on her post: “He was immensely talented, but what truly stood out was his boundless love for life. He radiated energy and intelligence. I send my heartfelt condolences to everyone who knew and loved Julian. May you find eternal peace, knowing that your race was well run.
