Jane Fonda Doesn't 'Feel Like an Old Person' at 87: I'm Younger 'in All the Ways That Matter'
Jane Fonda, now at 87, exhibits remarkable vitality and youthfulness. In a recent discussion with The New York Times about her Golden Goose sneaker campaign, she expressed her vibrant perspective on aging.
"I feel younger now than in my 20s in all meaningful ways," Fonda stated, discussing her daily training sessions and appreciation for the brand's footwear. She reflected positively on being chosen for the campaign, noting the significance of representing older adults in advertising.
Last month, Fonda shared her fitness insights with PEOPLE magazine. She maintains her previous activities at a more measured pace. "I switched from running to walking and enjoy exploring woodland trails, particularly hilly terrain," she explained.
Fonda's 1980s workout videos created a lasting impact on women's fitness culture. She received widespread appreciation through letters from women globally. "The videos' success surprised me. Women had limited access to intensive exercise options then. I learned the fundamentals from Leni Kasden in the 1970s," she recalled.
Her acting career, spanning from 1960, includes numerous films and TV shows. Recent work features voice acting in "Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken" (2023), a "Book Club" sequel appearance, and a role in Jennifer Lopez's "This Is Me... Now" (2024).
The Screen Actors Guild will honor Fonda with their Life Achievement Award at the upcoming SAG Awards. Upon the October 2024 announcement, she expressed gratitude, stating, "Receiving recognition from fellow actors holds special meaning, especially after dedicating most of my life to this industry."
