Let me tell you, this lady doesn’t mess around. Jane Fonda once again proved why she’s such an inspiration to so many of us. On January 15, she made a bold appearance at a BUILD Series event to promote her beloved show, Grace and Frankie. Now here’s the kicker—she had a noticeable bandage over her lower lip. But guess what? Instead of shying away, she owned it and told the crowd she’d recently undergone surgery to remove a cancerous growth from her face. Talk about gutsy!

“I just want to explain the bandage,” she said to the crowd, according to Entertainment Tonight. “I just had a cancer taken from my lip. I thought it was going to heal in time before I came before you, but it’s fine. I just want to explain it. I don’t normally go around like this.” Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate her honesty. It takes real courage to stand in front of a room full of people with a bandage on your face. Instead of canceling the event or trying to hide her condition, Jane faced it head-on. And let’s be real, that’s what makes her such a legend.
Grace Under Pressure: Jane’s Positive Attitude
Jane didn’t let the situation get her down. In fact, she handled it with her usual wit and charm. During a photo shoot with her co-star, Lily Tomlin, she even joked about the bandage. Later that day, she stopped by The Howard Stern Show and kept the same positive vibe going. “Hey, listen, the world is falling apart, what’s a lip?” she quipped. Classic Jane. At 80 years old, she’s showing us all how to keep perspective and roll with the punches.

Jane’s Health Update
Now, before you start worrying, let’s clear something up. The growth was cancerous, but it doesn’t seem like it spread or will cause her any further harm. “Yeah, they did [biopsy it.] I’m going to be fine, thanks,” she reassured everyone. Whew! That’s a relief. Jane probably shared all this information because she didn’t want her fans to worry or start rumors about plastic surgery. And honestly, who wouldn’t be grateful she’s happy and healthy?
