Internet user comments
Intergalactic sex symbol when she played Barbarella in the 1968 film, Jane Fonda remains a figure of Hollywood glamor. Commenting on the images published by Bazaar, there are still many fans. “Instantly iconic again”, “what an icon” or even “amazing !” can we read on Instagram about the actress.
However, others are more critical of the cosmetic surgery that Jane Fonda performed on her face. “Happy birthday and a new plastic face” writes a user in a comment on the photos. Others say they don't recognize the actress. “You don’t even look like Jane Fonda”one of them is surprised. Others don't even hide their ageism, like this nauseating comment: “88 year old plastic doll. I would never want to look like that”.
The icon and cosmetic surgery
Jane Fonda had cosmetic surgery and never hid it. “I had a facelift and stopped because I don't want to look out of shape”she confided in an interview with Vogue magazine in 2022. “I'm not proud of having done it, she added. If I had to do it again, I don't know if I would do it. But I did it. I admit it. (…) A lot of women are addicted to it.”
Since she cut short facelifts, Jane Fonda has been looking for youth in more natural ways. “I don't do a lot of facials,” she said. “I don't spend a lot of money on facial creams or anything, but I hydrate, I sleep, I move, I don't expose myself to the sun and I have good friends who make me laugh. Laughter is also a good thing.” To avoid the wrinkle of worry, we also suggest ignoring trolls.
