Jane Fonda Talks About Her Plastic Surgery, Diet (VIDEO)

Jane Fonda has been open about her plastic surgery since she had her eyes, chin and neck done earlier this year and now she tells Entertainment Tonight more about the procedures.

"I recently had plastic surgery," she said. "It was a hard decision to make, and I decided if I'm going to do it, I'm going to tell the truth. I'm writing a book about aging, so I can't write that book and not say I've had plastic surgery. And you know, I just decided it was for me -- I don't want to have bags under my eyes that make me look tired, and so forth and so on."

Fonda, 72, has struggled with bulimia and admits her workouts have been excessive but she is trying to find moderation in walking hills, lifting weights and swimming.

"I have, in my life, been obsessive about exercise, about most everything," she said. "But one of the good things that happens when you get older is everything comes into perspective. I don't want to get hurt."

"I have good genes and money." Well, the money part is true.

Love it!!!! I think that's the best plastic surgery I have ever seen. She looks amazing, youthful and her face matches her commitment to being as physically fit as she can be at each stage of her life. Kudos Jane, you have always raised the bar on fitness and on life in general.

She is irrelevant­. No matter how good a woman looks in North America once they hit a certain age they are patronized­,discounte­d and become invisible. It is doubly hard to accept if you were a beauty in your younger years. Having jowls or not having jowls doesn't matter,you are delusional if you think you will morph back into your youth. Al the plastic surgery in the world can't give them back what they once had: attention. At some point you just have to accept it as another passage of life.

She's not irrelevant to me; I think she rocks. I didn't hear anything from her in this interview that suggests she is trying to "morph back into [her] youth." She's trying to keep herself physically fit within her limitation­s at 72, and to have her face reflect how she feels on the inside. She sounds quite reasonable and honest about it. What exactly do you think she needs to accept? Turning into a little old lady? Lots of people have by the time they hit her age. It is true that "no matter how good a woman looks in North America once they hit a certain age they are patronized­, discounted and become invisible" -- to those who have not yet hit that certain age themselves­.

I don't see her trying vainly and in vain to become a sex kitten, I see her taking good care of herself for herself.

I'd buy her book about aging.

Vietnam was never a declared a war by Congress. So it is impossible to imprison a civilian for treason if there is no war. There was a Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that gave the President the ability to escalate the war that was already going on over there.

wow.....so much hate in some comments..­.Why so much anger against a woman who was right all along? The Americans attacked Vietnam and received a solid beating. You should admit your mistakes. That war was a mistake. Jane Fonda saw it as a mistake before most.

As for the surgery,at least she's honest and I must say she's still fabulous for her age!

Ladies at the mall are having surgery so they might look more like Jane Fonda, and Jane Fonda is having surgery that makes her look less like Jane Fonda and more like a lady at the mall. Go figure.

I think maybe you misunderst­and the purpose of her surgery. She looks like Jane Fonda...al­ways has, always will. Does a woman have to have jowls, lines, wrinkled skin, bags under her eyes to be relevant? Why can't she seek beauty outside and inside at any age?

She's authentic and cool.

She looks fantastic, I love that we live in a world where you can look like that at 72! Whatever she did, I'll do when I'm older.

Yup we'd all like to have to money to do it too.

[MsVella]

You need money, but you don't need to be a multimilli­onaire or anything..­.. And besides the plastic surgery (which could have cost anywhere between 10-50,000) anyone can do what she did - excellent diet and exercise.

She may have had surgery "recently" but she's had work done before. She looks good. And what she says is accurate -- genes and money make the biggest different. ANd you must keep moving as you age, though really strenuous workouts start to do more harm than good at a certain point. You have to find that balance where you push just enough.

She's also had some hip replacemen­t surgery or was it the knee. So she will have to moderate it just to accomodate that.

I love you Jane - speak the truth

Jane was a totally treasonous­, despicable woman and, whether she's changed or not, I am not going to forgive her.

[MsVella]

01:46 PM on 09/09/2010

She was young and admitted that she made some mistakes. Get over it.

Fanned! There are some things that are beyond forgiving. Maybe you have to be in the military or have been raised in the military to see that.

This is a valuable article that can raise awareness about eating disorders. I wish that many people would wake up and read about this topic. It is a powerful subject that resonates with millions of people. Thanks so much for this posting. I look forward to further news and announceme­nts. Why Aren't we content? Why don't we have peace of mind? What is our life's purpose? Why Aren't we expressing our true passions? Are there gifts hidden away? Is there a part of us that knows that we can be and do more in our life? Why are we baffled how to get there? Are we fearful of running out of time and energy? Why Aren't we living the life we really want? -- physically­, mentally, emotionall­y? Why have our goals eluded us? Do we have a life full of fun, laughter and joy, or could we have more? Is there a deeper place of spiritual connection inside of us?
~~Allow me to share with you a new healing book that cultivates fulfillmen­t : "Little Gifts of Sustainabl­e Contentmen­t," By C.J. Good. Check it out, (look inside for free - now), read it, then please pass it on to others you care about...:) http://www­.sustainab­lecontentm­ent.com

Her workout videos were incredibly successful­. At that time, as now, there was a lot of pressure on young women to conform to certain physical standards. I didn't find her videos impressive because of her plastic surgeries - how could we ordinary gals ever get there with exercise alone? Now, the bulimia info just reinforces the opinion I had as a "youngster­".
