Jane Fonda shuts down Megyn Kelly's stupid question.

[madaboutharry]

Appearing on Megyn Kelly Today, Jane Fonda and Robert Redford were talking about their new and highly acclaimed film "Our Souls At Night" that will start streaming on Netflix tomorrow.

In the middle of the interview, Megyn Kelly awkwardly asks Jane Fonda if she admits to having plastic surgery, because "you know, you look great." Fonda stares at Kelly with volcanic vaporizing dart eyes and says "do we really want to talk about this?" She looks at Redford like "can you believe this shit?" and then continues talking about the movie. It was a moment for the ages.

1. Face palm

In a Monday interview with the cast and creators of "Will & Grace," Kelly brought a male fan to meet the cast and asked him, "Is it true you became a lawyer -- and you became gay -- becomes of Will?"

[left-of-center2012]

5. "... you became gay -- becomes of Will?"

Maybe you meant "because"?

2. The great Jane shoots down that idiot

Jane was very upfront about plastic surgery when she had it done. No reason to talk about it now.

[Siwsan]

3. Jane was BRILLIANT

She does look great - like a younger version of herself, and not like someone who has been tugged, pulled and stitched into a high eyed feline woman. And I know this because when I see her I think 'Damn, she looks amazing.' instead of 'Damn, she's had a lot of work done.'

[PatSeg]

10. Yes

So many celebrities look strange and deformed from years of plastic surgery. Jane Fonda looks incredible and she still looks like Jane Fonda.

26. I have a buddy who is addicted to plastic surgery

Three boob jobs b/c the others weren't big enough.. Numerous face, eye and chin lifts.. Botox all the time, dental veneers also. She is starting to look like a caricature of her self... Looking at before and after shots 20 years different it kinda sorta looks like her, but not... weird.. I told her to stop just before she starts looking like Joan Rivers... Body dysmorhpic syndrome?

27. It definitely can become a disorder

I knew a young guy who became addicted to tanning beds. He started to look really freakish, but he just couldn't see it. Added to that, he was anorexic as well, but was in denial about that. The anorexia ended up killing him in the end. He was only 20 years old and looked like an abnormally tan concentration camp survivor.

People like your buddy need psychological counseling and any doctor who allows them to continue on that destructive path, should have their license revoked. The sad thing is no physical change will ever satisfy them, as the problems are within.

17. I Like Jane Fonda

but the first thing I think when I see her is that she's had a ton of work done. She's 79! She looks nothing like a normally aging 79 year old. All I can think is how well she would have aged naturally had she let herself. I feel sorry for people who feel they need to look 30 when they are 80. I can only imagine how miserable they must be trying to fight off the inevitable.

[Siwsan]

22. I know she's had work done, but she doesn't have that plastic appearance or 'cats eyes'

And it's unfortunate that, except for 'character actors' naturally aging female in Hollywood are sometimes hard pressed to find good film work. Two time Oscar winner Bette Davis actually took out an ad, looking for work. I think she got the role in 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane', as a result.

[PatSeg]

28. That's a great find

How hard it must have been to be on the top for so long and then wake up one day and find no one wants you anymore. Older men tend to find work more easily in Hollywood. Aging in men is considered character, but in women it is unacceptable for the most part.

[karynnj]

23. Cognitively, it is obvious that she likely had work done, but if you did not know she is 79,

would there even be a reason to think that the woman you see had work done? I like her answer. Part of what you see is that she has the posture of someone much younger and she looks like exercise and healthy eating have always been part of her life. Just consider how much younger fit and healthy many 70 plus year old men look compared to the overweight, stooped forward Donald Trump - and that has nothing to do with "work done".

In addition to plastic surgery, she obviously colors her hair and is fortunate that she has very nice hair. She obviously from her profession knows how to use makeup that ends up looking natural, while making her look better. Not to mention - most of us looked nothing like she did in her twenties, thirties etc.

38. My mom

Absolutely loved her workout videos. Jane Fonda is serious about her exercise and nutrition though.

[Ilsa]

40. I don't think she is into the same level of workout. She said so 20+

years ago. Maybe she is doing something else, but not the big aerobic program.

[Lotusflower70]

41. I know

But she set a solid foundation for herself starting early. She is probably more yoga and pilates now.

[oasis]

4. Still a Foxbot. nt

[hamsterjill]

6. I saw a Facebook comment on this that simply said it all!!!

Megyn Kelly has Jane Fonda and Robert Redford both sitting in front of her. Legends!!! And all she can think to ask is about Fonda's plastic surgery???!!!

Good grief. Legends, I tell you! Legends!!!!

[heaven05]

7. how do idiots

like kelly get their jobs... I have liked the independent soul of Jane Fonda since the Vietnam Era.....

[Fritz Walter]

8. Megyns just looking ahead... shopping, even.

Pretty soon gravity (y’know, that “theory,” not unlike evolution) is going to start having its effect on her.

[TNNurse]

9. Wonder how long it will take before people refuse to be on her show.

Debra Messing from Will & Grace said she thought it was just the Today Show, not Kelly. She regretted having been there.

As we say at our house, "There is no cure for Fox News cooties, it is a lifelong chronic condition".

[PatSeg]

11. I had thought,

that maybe if Kelly was on a normal network, she might act normal. Apparently the Fox runs deep in her veins.

[TNNurse]

12. I am pretty sure there is no cure.

If you can tolerate being there, you are one of them.

[PatSeg]

13. Excellent point

She may have been "normal" once, but Fox undoubtedly has altered her DNA forever. If you compromise that much, the damage is probably permanent.

[Submariner]

14. That racist POS needs to stick to her "New Black Panther" updates

and teaching moments about how Jesus (born in the Mid-East) Christ is WHITE and Santa (the fake guy) Claus is also WHITE gawdammit!!!1111!!

She is out of her league outside Fox noise.

[question everything]

15. And yet, we watched the recent installment of the Vietnam War on PBS

I honestly do not remember the details but seeing Fonda visiting Hanoi, saying that the POWs should be faced military trials and executed.... I can see why so many will refuse to forgive and forget to these days.

I wonder whether she ever apologized..

Perhaps this is what Kelly should have asked. If she had some sense..

[Honeycombe8]

18. Calling this out as fake news. She did NOT suggest that about POWs. Irrelevant to a movie interview.

When she went there, she took mail to US POWs, whom she met with for several hours. When she returned, she brought over 200 pieces of mail with her from the prisoners, for their relatives or whoever.

The Washington Post point out that Fonda was not interviewed for the Burns doc. But as far as Hanoi went, the WaPo states:

In Hanoi, Fonda also met with seven American POWs and later said they asked her to tell their friends and family to support presidential candidate George McGovern; they feared they’d never be freed during a Richard Nixon administration. Rumors spread and still persist that she betrayed them by accepting secret notes and then turning them over to the North Vietnamese. The POWs who were there have denied that this ever occurred.

She has apologized multiple times over the years, both in the press and personally to vets. But if you don't have a working knowledge of the "Hanoi Jane" issue, you probably aren't familiar with these facts. Now you know.

Check Snopes and other fact checking sites. Then check past legitimate news accounts, and Fonda statements.

Whenever possible I try to sit down with vets and talk with them, because I understand and it makes me sad. It hurts me and it will to my grave that I made a huge, huge mistake that made a lot of people think I was against the soldiers.

https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/01/jane-fonda-regrets-hanoi-jane

NONE of this, or cosmetic surgery, has ANYTHING to do with an interview about a new movie. Did she ask Redford if he'd had a skin peel, because altho he looks weathered, he looks pretty good for a fair skinned outdoorsman who is over 70? Of course not. It's a rude, irrelevant question.

[Ohiya]

25. You could watch Ken Burn's documentary...

...and see what comes out of Jane's mouth when she was in Viet Nam. I was shocked, I would not have believed it if I hadn't just seen it last night.

[brush]

29. What came out of her mouth?

[Ohiya]

30. Paraphrasing...

she said that the American POWs were not Prisoners of war, but they were war criminals and as such they should be executed.

I would not believe it if I hadn't seen it.

[brush]

31. Are you sure? I've never heard that and I lived thru it.

[Ohiya]

33. Positive

Maybe there was more context than what was shown.

Like I said I was shocked and would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

[brush]

34. There must have been some context before and after. I don't believe any anti-war...

activist at that time would've just blatantly call for execution of American POWs.

[red dog 1]

35. I haven't yet seen the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary, so I don't know if what you say about her

is true or not.

However, I do know that Jane Fonda was directly responsible for a good Democrat losing his Senate seat to a Republican in 1976.

Jane Fonda encouraged her then-husband, Tom Hayden, to challenge popular Senator John Tunney in the 1976 primary.
Tunney, son of boxer Gene Tunney, was riding high in the polls, and was headed for a relatively easy re-election...until Hayden, (with hundreds of thousands of Jane Fonda's dollars in his campaign chest), brutally and personally attacked the character of Sen. Tunney in a blitz of TV ads.


(From the Sacramento Bee, October 31, 2016)
"Jerry Brown, Tom Hayden had a long and uneasy relationship"

"Hayden took his first big political plunge in 1976, challenging Sen. John Tunney's re-election in that year's Democratic primary and indirectly confronting Jerry Brown, who was Tunney's honorary campaign chairman.
Hayden - and Fonda - were unsparing in their personal attacks on Tunney and even though the challenge failed, it so damaged Tunney that he lost to Republican S.I. Hayakawa."

That Senate seat remained in Republican hands for nearly 20 years.

John Tunney was a good man, and a good Democrat....he deserved to be re-elected in 1976.

Jane Fonda's encouragement and financial support of Tom Hayden's primary challenge was completely uncalled for, imo.

[Honeycombe8]

16. Did Redford say anything? I can't believe that question! OMG. nt

[Honeycombe8]

19. Irrelevant to a movie interview, & sexist. Did she ask Redford...

Did she ask Redford if he'd had anything done? Because altho he looks weathered, he looks pretty darn good as a 70+ fair skinned senior outdoorsman.

Such a ride, irrelevant question. AND she didn't do her homework, because if she had, she'd know that Fonda does NOT talk about cosmetic surgery.

[madaboutharry]

20. Robert Redford is 81 years old.

I looked it up. August 18, 1936.

[Honeycombe8]

21. Wow. He looks amazing. nt

[brush]

32. I think Kelly is trying to be edgy with this show so she doesn't fail again like with her...

previous outing on NBC. She also pulled a boner with the "Will and Grace" cast the day before.

Edgy might work but it's got to have clever timing and wit, not rude, bumbling awkwardness like she's shown on two shows in a row now.

Guess she's learning a talk show takes actual talent not just blonde looks, fawning, middle-aged white, male viewers and a Bill O'Reilly lead-in.

[niyad]

24. since that was filmed here, I am anxious to see it.

megyn, you are an idiot.

[red dog 1]

36. Kick!

Megyn Kelly's question about whether or not Jane Fonda had plastic surgery is beyond stupid!
It sounds like something President Orange Asshole might say ("You look great&quot

I think Jane Fonda reacted the way any "normal" person would react to such an inane question.

However, I have my reasons for not being an admirer of Ms. Fonda (See reply # 35)

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

37. Kelley's

Asinine question almost rises her to the level of journalism I thought she'd ever attain.

They will never make a "Katie Couric" from that disgusting hag.

[Lotusflower70]

39. Seriously?

Who the fuck cares if she had work done. Fuck you Megyn Kelly. I can't stand her. I absolutely love the way Jane handled it. Lol looks like Robert Redford loved it too.
