Jane Fonda still has it at 77. While other celebrities would shy away from talking about drugs and surgeries, she recently shared that the secret to her youthful face and body is that she had plastic surgery, “smokes pot every now and then,” and has a good attitude about ageing.

In an interview with DuJour on Feb 17, seasoned actress Jane Fonda shared how she managed to look healthy and young. The actress shared that she is always asked how she stays looking good and her forthright answer would be that she “had plastic surgery.” She added that it is not a big deal at all to talk about it. She had a facelift when she was in her 40s, and another one just five years ago. She also got her breasts and chin done when she was younger. Her eye bags were also treated.

Still, even though these surgeries and operations can explain her age-defying looks, the actress said it’s her overall attitude to ageing and increasing confidence as she ages that help retain her star quality. She said what masters is knowing one can always be better, no matter what, including getting older. "It gets harder as you get older. You have to stay brave and keep trying to go beyond your comfort zone and see what you need to get to become who you’re supposed to be,” she explained.

She threw in more shockers during the interview as well. She shared that she smokes pot every now then, although she could not do it when watching movies. She also said that after leaving his third husband, CNN founder Ted Turner, who told her she was not suppose to change anymore after turning 60, she remained a good friend to him. The actress personally realised that she has no desire to slow down even if she is ageing, she shared.

This is not the first time that Jane talked of something unexpected in relation to her age. Back in 2012, when she was 74 years old, she announced to the world that she “never had such a fulfilling sex life” until she met music producer Richard Perry. She said at her age, she was more in tune with what her body desires and was less restricted by the inhibitions she had when she was younger. The two are still dating happily up until the present.
