venerable actress Jane Fonda, at 82 years old, declares she has no interest in sexual activity, claiming she's had "enough" of it.
Jane Fonda Urges Activism in Politics and Beyond
Jane Fonda, the iconic actress and activist, has been making headlines recently for her passionate calls to action in the realm of politics and social justice.
In a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, hosted by Tiffany Haddish, Fonda discussed her current focus on activism. The 82-year-old star, who published a book titled What Can I Do? The Truth About Climate Change And How To Fix It in September, emphasised the importance of persistence in activism, comparing it to the toughness of Mitch McConnell.
Fonda has been vocal about the ongoing Supreme Court nomination process, urging activists to "rise up" and not allow any nominee to be confirmed until after the election results. In a conversation with Bill Maher on Real Time, she reiterated this stance, stating that activism should prevent the Senate from confirming any nominee until after the election.
Fonda's comments come in the wake of the passing of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the potential replacement by President Trump. Fonda expressed her opinion on this matter, stating that activism could prevent it.
Fonda's activism extends beyond politics. In a related article, she and Drew Barrymore discussed swearing off men. Despite this, Fonda clarified that she is not currently having sex due to her busy schedule. She also revealed that she doesn't have time for sex, a sentiment she expressed in a previous conversation with Maher.
Fonda's personal life has been the subject of much speculation over the years. She was married to Ted Turner from 1991 to 2001, and her current marital status is that she is not married. She plans to be buried next to her second husband, Tom Hayden, who passed away in 2016.
In the 2018 HBO documentary Jane Fonda in Five Acts, Turner was described as having "wild brilliance" and their partnership was reported as "great." Turner once said that if one waits too long, it grows over, a sentiment that may reflect on Fonda's current focus.
Fonda's activism has not gone unnoticed. She swooned when a photo of Marvin Gaye was flashed on a screen, a testament to the impact he had on her life. After Gaye's death, Fonda learned that he kept her photo on his refrigerator. Despite Gaye's interest, Fonda clarified that they never slept together.
Fonda's calls to action are not shy of strong language. She urged activists to "grow some balls and ovaries" in their efforts, emphasising the need for persistence and courage in the face of adversity.
In a world that often seems to be moving too fast, Fonda's message of activism and persistence serves as a reminder that each individual has the power to make a difference.
