At 85, Jane Fonda discusses being “closer to death.”

In a new interview, Jane Fonda discusses ageing, saying that at the age of 85, she is “closer to death.”

Jane Fonda, the Hollywood actress, has revealed in a recent interview that she is “closer to death” at the age of 85.

“I’m super-conscious that I’m closer to death,” Fonda said, according to Fox News. “And it doesn’t really bother me that much.”

“What bothers me is that my body is, you know basically not mine!” she added. “My knees are not mine, my hips are not mine, my shoulder’s not mine. You’re looking at somebody who’s only me from here up.”

Fonda has remained as active as ever, just finishing production on the film Moving On with her long-time friend Lily Tomlin.

“The fact is if you’re alive and relatively healthy at an older – I mean, I’m almost 85,” she continued. “The fact that I’m still alive and working, wow, who cares if I don’t have my old joints? And I can’t ski or bike or run anymore? …  You know, you can be really old at 60, and you can be really young at 85. Health!”
