Jane Fonda had cancerous growth removed from lower lip

Jane Fonda revealed Monday that she had a cancerous growth removed from her lower lip, which was likely basal-cell carcinoma (the most common form of skin cancer).

‘I just want to explain the bandage,’ the 80-year-old acting legend told the AOL BUILD Series audience.

‘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. The world is falling apart. What’s a lip?’

Back in 2010, the two-time Oscar winner underwent a lumpectomy for breast cancer, and she’s also suffered from bulimia and osteoarthritis.  

The twice-divorced mother-of-three and her Grace and Frankie castmate Lily Tomlin both donned head-to-toe black ensembles to promote the fourth season of their Netflix series, which starts streaming this Friday.

In it, Lily’s sex toy CEO Frankie Bergstein gets jealous when her BFF/business partner Grace Hanson (Jane) befriends a bubbly manicurist called Sheree (Lisa Kudrow).

Fonda explained: ‘[Casting the 54-year-old Friends alum] made me very happy because I’ve always wanted to get to know her and she’s become a friend.’
