Jon Hamm to undergo surgery to remove vocal-cord polyp

If you thought the biggest news about Jon Hamm was that full beard he was sporting at the Emmys, you were wrong.

Turns out the “Mad Men� actor is about to have surgery to remove a polyp from his vocal cords, Gossip Cop confirms.

The Cop also debunked a rather wild rumor from one source saying that Hamm had discovered the problem when he was “coughing up blood.� That rumor is actually repeated in the video that appears above this post, so don’t believe everything you hear.

GC’s insider says it’s only one polyp, it’s a routine outpatient procedure, and it’s definitely not cancerous. Which is all good news, yes?

About the beard, incidentally: Dude just loves not shaving.
