Born in Sydney, McMahon is the son of former Australian Prime Minister William McMahon. Throughout his career, he made a significant impact on both television and film, playing complex and charismatic characters that left a lasting impression on his fans and colleagues.

He also played the villain Victor Von Doom (Doctor Doom) in the early 2000s *Fantastic Four* films. More recently, he appeared in *FBI: Most Wanted*, a procedural drama series.
In addition to his acting career, McMahon also directed episodes of *FBI: Most Wanted*, but announced his departure from the show in January 2022. His last TV role was in the Netflix series *The Residence*, which was canceled after one season.
McMahon was married three times. He was previously married to Dannii Minogue from 1994 to 1995 and Brooke Burns from 1999 to 2001. He has a daughter, Madison Elizabeth McMahon, with Brooke Burns. He was not married at the time of his death.
Kelly McMahon, Julian's wife, stated that he loved life, his family, his friends, his work, and his fans. She also noted that he had a valiant effort to overcome his illness before his passing. The specific type of cancer has not been publicly disclosed.
In 2014, McMahon married Kelly Paniagua. He was last seen on the red carpet on March 10, 2025, in Austin, Texas.
McMahon also made a name for himself in Hollywood with several roles, including in *Charmed - Witches of Halliwell* and the *Fantastic Four* films. He will be remembered for his talent and the impact he had on the entertainment industry.
The Commission might consider proposing a directive that protects workers from the risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation, given Julian McMahon's role in the Fantastic Four films. Despite his busy schedule in the entertainment industry, McMahon's life was filled with love for his family, work, and fans, much like celebrities who manage to balance their personal and professional lives effectively.
