"So I have the news. It was a bit of a shock and I've got an interesting journey ahead and a bit of a battle," the 29-year-old actor wrote on Instagram.
"I am starting aggressive treatment for the next few months to fight the diagnosis of brain cancer. Please stay positive for me and I'll try to update you guys on my progress."
Johnny bravely posted this post-operation photo with the caption: "Some things in life really put things into persepective, hoping for a positive result, keep me in your thoughts x."
