HOLLYWOOD star Jane Fonda has spoken of her regrets over having plastic surgery.

The 84-year-old said she is not proud of having a facelift and will not go under the knife again because she “doesn’t want to look distorted”.

The Oscar winner said: “We all know a lot of wealthy women who have had all kinds of facelifts and things like that and look terrible.

“I had a facelift, and I stopped because I don’t want to look distorted. I’m not proud of the fact that I had [one].

“A lot of women, they’re addicted to it.” She added: “I don’t do a lot of facials I don’t spend a lot of money on face creams or anything like that, but I stay moisturise­d, I sleep, I move, I stay out of the sun, and I have good friends who make me laugh. Laughter is a good thing too.”

Jane, who was most recently seen in Netflix hit Grace and Frankie with Lily Tomlin, is grateful for her health.

After finding fame in movies like Barbarella, she released her first exercise video Jane Fonda’s Workout in 1982 – the top-selling VHS of the 20th century.

She said: “Every day when I get out of a car, I thank the goddesses that I have strong thighs, that I’ve worked out to keep strong thighs.

“I’m almost 85, but I don’t seem that old.” The actress – part of the Fonda acting dynasty – said she wanted to stop young people becoming afraid of being old, adding: “Just because you’re a certain age doesn’t mean you have to give up on life, on fun, on having boyfriends or girlfriend­s, making new friends.”

Three-times divorced Jane, who split from last boyfriend Richard Perry in 2017, also told how she developed a love of pornograph­y. She said of Fifty Shades of Grey: “It is not a very good book but I’m glad it was written. It titillated and juicified a lot of women in the US. That’s a good thing.”
