Academy Award-winning actress and activist, Jane Fonda, has made a bold statement about her readiness for death at the age of 85. The announcement came during a recent interview with a British publication, where Fonda revealed that she has already started planning her funeral.
The actress, who has been a vocal advocate for climate change and political reform, has been a prominent figure in Hollywood for over five decades. Despite her successful career and enduring legacy, Fonda expressed that she is at peace with the idea of passing away.
“I’m 85 and I know that I’m lucky to be here. So, I’m not afraid of dying,” she said in the interview. “I’m not wishing it on myself, but when it comes, I’m ready for it.”
Fonda’s admission may come as a shock to some fans, but it is not entirely surprising given her age and activism. The actress has always been open about her views on mortality and the importance of living life to the fullest.
In fact, Fonda has previously stated that she believes in the concept of “aging with grace,” which means embracing the changes that come with growing older and finding meaning in the latter stages of life.
“I think it’s important to be open to the fact that we’re not going to be here forever, and to make the most of the time that we have,” she said in the interview.
Despite her readiness to pass on, Fonda continues to be an active voice in the fight for social justice and environmental conservation. She has participated in numerous protests and marches over the years, and recently launched a virtual platform called “Fire Drill Fridays” to raise awareness about the climate crisis.
Fonda’s legacy as an actress and activist has made her an inspiration to many, and her willingness to confront mortality head-on only adds to her enduring impact. As the actress herself put it, “I’m still here, and I’m going to keep fighting until I’m not.”
