Some online commentators raised questions about Fonda’s appearance, with one asking, “What’s with the cane?” and another observing, “Poor Jane has a moon boot.” A third person, however, saw Fonda’s cane as a stylish addition, asserting, “Jane with the Cane ain’t nothing to play around with.”
Another social media user noticed something else peculiar in the image, pondering, “Am I the only one that’s noticing something wrong with their hands?”
Fonda has faced health challenges in the past. In 2019, the then 81-year-old actress revealed her battle with cancer, stating, “I’ve had a lot of cancer.” She also shared how her health issues influenced her outfit choices, recalling wearing a white dress with ruffles at the 2016 Golden Globes to cover bandages from a mastectomy.
In a 2022 interview discussing her series “Grace and Frankie” with Lily Tomlin, Fonda confirmed her numerous replacement surgeries, expressing discomfort with her body not feeling entirely her own. Despite these challenges, Fonda remains grateful for life and the ability to work at her age, though she has accepted limitations on certain physical activities due to her ailing joints.
