Fonda's fiery "call to arms" proved to be the most explosive part of her appearance. With her trademark conviction and unwavering commitment to social justice, she launched a scathing attack on US President Donald Trump, labeling him "that fu—er" as she urged the crowd to make a difference.

The seasoned activist, famously dubbed "Hanoi Jane" for her stance against the Vietnam War, proudly spoke of her recent arrests in her 80s for non-violent civil disobedience during climate change rallies. Her words were laced with a sense of urgency and frustration, as she implored the crowd to take action.

"F— those neoliberals and fascists and people who don’t move to love," Fonda declared, her voice rising in defiance. "We have to move to love and empathy." The crowd was left stunned, but also inspired by her passionate speech.

A PERSONAL AND BLUNT TAKE ON AGEISM

But it wasn't just politics that took center stage during Fonda's appearance. In a candid admission that left jaws on the floor, she revealed her thoughts on sex and aging. When asked about her current love life, Fonda quipped, "I’ve closed up shop due to flooding," prompting roars of laughter from the crowd.

However, it was when she confessed, "If I was going to have sex, I would want it to be with a 20-year-old. I like certain kinds of skin" that sparked controversy and raised eyebrows. The actress explained that she had decided to quit sex altogether due to her own ageism, stating, "I don’t get naked in bed with anybody anymore."

Fonda's willingness to speak honestly about her sex life has left many talking, but also praising the actress for her unapologetic honesty.

A LIFE OF PASSION AND COMMITMENT

The seasoned activist has always been known for her commitment to social justice, and her recent arrests have only added to her reputation as a fierce advocate for climate change.

In an assessment of the former US leadership, Fonda declared, "People who do things that are stupid, bad and cruel and hostile, like the people running my government now; they’re not bad people, they’re unwell." Her words were met with applause from the crowd, who appreciated her unwavering commitment to fighting for what she believes in.

A LEGACY OF ACTIVISM AND ART

Throughout her illustrious career, Fonda has been a trailblazer in every sense of the word. From her iconic aerobics videos to her activism against the Vietnam War, she has always pushed boundaries and challenged the status quo.
