Jane Fonda says she has too many 'nicks' and 'scars' to 'get naked' in front of a new lover

The '80 for Brady' actress said she wouldn't feel the same way if she had lived with someone for 50 years

Jane Fonda said this week that she "appreciates" her body at 85 years old but wouldn’t want to "get naked" in front of a man anymore because of her "nicks" and "scars." 

"I appreciate my body," the "80 for Brady" actress told Julia Louis-Dreyfus on her Lemonada Media "Wiser than Me" podcast on Tuesday. "I don’t criticize it and hate on it anymore, but I live alone. See, Julia, I don't have to show [my body] to anybody. I'm vain enough so that it would be hard for me to get naked in front of [someone]."

She said she wouldn’t feel that way if "I lived with somebody for 50 years — which I wish that had been my fate — but, you know, I wouldn't be able to get undressed in front of a new lover." 

She added, "I've got too many nicks and, you know, scars and holes and all kinds of things. I mean, I’ve got two fake hips, a fake knee and a fake shoulder, and even a fake thumb."

She explained that a bone in her thumb had been replaced with a "cadaver’s cartilage." 

Still, the actress said she has "muscles" at her age after spending most of her life staying in shape after Louis-Dreyfus asked her about her "aging body."

She added that she was "sorry" she had gotten plastic surgery. "I wish that I had been able to grow old at peace with my face, but I wasn’t able to, and I don’t feel good about it. It’s not real. But I can’t do anything about it now." 

Louis-Drefus went on to muse that aging is more difficult for a woman than it is a man in many ways after she mentioned that she met "The Graduate"’s temptress Mrs. Robinson Anne Bancroft when she was older, who mentioned she didn’t go out as much because of her aging face.

Fonda responded, "I mean, Greta Garbo retired at an early age among many, many other great beauties for the same reason that Annie’s talking about, you know, and yet the guys go and their jowls are hanging and all kinds of and nobody cares." 

Fonda, who famously did a striptease in 1968’s "Barbarella," took a 15-year break from acting before returning in 2005’s "Monster-in-Law."
