Jane Fondahas made fast friends with her new costar.
Although the Academy Award winner, 84, hasn’t metTom Bradyin person yet, she tells PEOPLE the retired NFL star, 44, sent her a “humongous” floral arrangement after her shoulder replacement.
“He sent me a humongous thing of orchids because I had my shoulder replaced. I think it’s going to last forever … the shoulder and the orchids,” Fonda said while arriving Saturday at the Lo Máximo Awards, Homeboy Industries' largest fundraiser of the year, in Los Angeles.
Lily Tomlin— who co-hosted the gala with Fonda — jokingly added, “I’m gonna get my shoulder replaced so he’ll send me some.”
(Homeboy Industries is the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world, and longtime supporters Maria Shriver, Connie Britton and more joined honorees at the event.)

“Tom Bradyphoned her to tell her he was trying to make a movie about them,” Tomlin explains. “And it’s just really delightful to see. It was wonderful. And so we look like your typicalTom Bradyfan.”
“And we’re in our 80s,” says Fonda, as Tomlin adds: “80 for Brady.”
