Jane: I’m Fonda porn

But star, 80, says 50 Shades was not much good

AFTER setting millions of pulses racing in her time as a screen siren, Jane Fonda has spoken of her love of pornograph­y.

Jane, 80, said she likes erotic fiction, though she thought S&M novel Fifty Shades of Grey was a little tame.

The actress, right, said: “I’ve read really good pornograph­y. I lived in France for years and I read it when it first came out because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

“[Fifty Shades] is not a very good book but I’m glad it was written. I think it titillated and juicified a lot of women in the United States. That’s a good thing.” Her new movie, Book Club – also featuring Diane Keaton – tells the story of four pensioners whose love lives are rekindled by reading the X-rated 2011 novel by British author E.L. James.

Jane declared in 2012: “At 74, I have never had such a fulfilling sex life.”

And last month she said intimacy improves for women as they get older. Jane added: “It gets better because we understand our bodies more... We know what we like, and we’re less afraid to ask for it.”

But three months before that the US star, who split from her long-term boyfriend – 76-year-old record producer Richard Perry – in 2017 revealed: “I have closed up shop down there. Nobody has to keep on being sexual later in life. It should be up to us to make the decision.”

The two-time Oscar-winner, who has been married three times, added: “I am not dating any more. I am 80, and it is only over when you decide it is going to be over.”
