Friday Night With
Jonathan Ross - 3 June, 大象传媒 ONE (repeated 5 June, 大象传媒 THREE)
听
Academy award-winning actress, fitness guru, political
activist and sex symbol Jane Fonda talks about her
life on and off-screen with Jonathan Ross on the show
this Friday.
听
Fonda, whose autobiography My Life So Far documents
her extraordinary story, explains why she lost her passion for films:
"I wasn't having fun any more; I was scared. I just thought I was
no good any more - I didn't feel creative so I quit."
听
She discusses how her poor self-image hampered her early
life: "I thought I was plain and fat and I tried to be a secretary,
but I was fired - I was too bad."
听
She talks about entertaining Brigitte Bardot, ex-wife
of her own then husband, Roger Vadim - "I gave her thick blood
sausage: I thought maybe she'd choke on it," - and working with
screen legend Robert Redford: "I always fell in love with him.
You enjoy love scenes with people you like... [but] we were both married."
听
She also talks about her difficult relationship with
her father Henry Fonda: "He didn't know how to be close. I was
able, when he was dying, to tell him what I wanted to say, but he couldn't
reciprocate. I felt grateful I was able to do that."
听
She talks about her political activism and her view
of US politics now: "I became a lightning rod and the right wing
continues to flaunt that. [now] it's far worse - the lies, the manipulation,
the control of the media...
听
"It's pretty
dangerous. They're clever at scaring people into silence."
听
She also discusses addiction and self-image: "This
culture tells us we have to be perfect so it's an anxiety; you move
outside yourself and fill [the space] with addictions. Mine was food."
听
Jonathan also welcomes to the show daytime
TV's Fern Britton, who talks about her rapport with fellow
presenter Phillip Schofield: "We were thrown together because we
had all sorts of problems when Richard and Judy left. then John [Leslie]
had his problems.
听
"We'd never met until the morning we went straight
into the show. Once a year we go to Claridges and get very drunk."
听
She talks about being a role model for bigger women:
"Every woman wants to be better. I don't really like it but you
have to live with it."
听
Motley Crue's Tommy Lee and
Vince Neil share some tall stories about the excesses of their
rock 'n' roll lifestyle and their friendship with Ozzy Osbourne: "One
of our first major tours was opening for Ozzy. We were in awe of him
. he started riding with us, unless Sharon was there.
听
"[One night] Ozzy's handlers had given up on him
- they said, 'Tommy - good luck'. This was after he'd licked up pee
and snorted a line of ants!"
听
And there's an exclusive appearance from Coldplay
live in the studio, performing their new single Speed of Sound as well
as some classic Coldplay tracks.
