Jane Fonda was recently spied out and about hiding behind large sunglasses and a high turtleneck.
This in itself isn’t that unusual; what is surprising is Fonda admitted her disguise was not to avoid reporters, but to hide the after effects of recent plastic surgery on her eyes and neck.
Now, Fonda is 72 years old now….and she’s an actor. I would have expected her to have had work done long before now.
But apparently she made very strong comments against plastic surgery some 10 years ago, and now feels she will be dinged by the press and other actresses at her abrupt about face (excuse the wonderful pun).
Changing your mind about something after a decade? Wow. She must be the first person to ever do that. I know I feel exactly the same way today about every issue in life as I did 10 years ago.
Yeah, right.
I figure Fonda and other actresses who end up having plastic surgery – after swearing against it in their youth – are probably less horrified at their change of mind than their change in appearance. When you are one of the beautiful people, the realization that you age and sag and decay just like ugly folk must be devastating.
Heck, I started contemplating plastic surgery in first grade. Thoughts about it later in life have shifted merely to accommodate the shifting of my various parts!
Finally, an advantage to not being beautiful – less angst about maintenance and repair.
