During a recent episode of the podcast Wiser Than Me, renowned actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus had a discussion with Emmy award-winning actress Jane Fonda, who opened up about her discomfort with getting undressed in front of a man due to the scars and “nicks” on her body.
The 85-year-old shared that she has learned to value and accept her body, and she no longer engages in self-criticism or self-hatred as she did in the past. “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,” Fonda said. “However, if she was married someone for 50 years, she’d certainly have reconsidered her opinion. But for now, it’s a very strong NO.”

“I’ve got too many nicks and, you know, scars and holes and all kinds of things,” the actress detailed while talking to Louis-Dreyfus. “I mean, I’ve got two fake hips, a fake knee and a fake shoulder, and even a fake thumb.”

However, the 85-year-old revealed that she regrets ever going under the knife. “I wish that I had been able to grow old at peace with my face,” Fonda explains. “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.”
Jane Fonda and Julia Louis-Dreyfus reveal that aging in men and women is different
During the podcast, Louis-Dreyfus and Fonda also discussed the challenges of aging in women compared to men. Louis-Dreyfus mentioned that she met Anne Bancroft when she was older, and she claimed she has reduced her outings due to her aging look.
“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,” Fonda replied. “And yet the guys go, and their jowls are hanging, and all kinds of and nobody cares.”
