The Hollywood star Jane Fonda, was on the comedian Heather McMahan’s “Absolutely Not” podcast on Tuesday, appeared to say that she would only date a man who is 20 years old. “I’m ashamed to say this, but if I were to take a lover, he’d have to be 20,” Fonda, 85, said. “Because I don’t like old skin.”
“20? I’m not even half her age and I think 20 is too young for my age,” one user commented, with another adding, “Nah this shouldn’t be normalized.”
“Spiritually and mentally and psychologically, I’m way younger,” Fonda said last year. Fonda told Harper’s Bazaar in 2021 that she doesn’t want to be in a “sexual relationship” again.
“I don’t want to be in a relationship, a sexual relationship, again. I don’t have that desire,” Fonda said at the time.
“Do I fantasize? Yes, here’s my fantasy. I’ll just put it out there,” she said. “That I meet a professor or a researcher, somebody in that line who is really capable of loving, of cherishing a woman, so that I could test myself and see if I could show up.’
“I think maybe now I could, but the problem is that, like a man, I would want a younger man,” Fonda added. “Isn’t that awful? It’s a thing about skin. I would want a younger man, and I’m too vain.”
Fonda went on to explain that she is physically repulsed by men in her age group.
Fonda, who has been married and divorced three times, can fantasize about 20 year-olds all that she wants to, but it’s hard to imagine anyone even close to that age showing any interest in her at this point.
