Jane Fonda — Megyn Kelly
While discussing a woman’s age is no longer taboo, repeatedly emphasizing a person’s advancing age during an interview can be uncomfortable, especially when they weren’t prepared for it. This scenario unfolded on the Today show when Jane Fonda and Robert Redford promoted their 2017 film, “Our Souls at Night.” The host, Megyn Kelly, seemed fixated on Jane’s age and appearance.
Throughout the interview, Megyn Kelly continuously praised Jane Fonda for looking great for her age, even going so far as to call her an example of aging beautifully and with strength. She also mentioned that Jane had openly admitted to having cosmetic procedures, which she viewed as a credit to her. While the intention might have been to compliment Jane, the interview turned awkward due to the excessive focus on her age and appearance, making it a cringe-worthy moment.
