Jane Fonda Opens Up About Her Decades-Long Struggle With Bulimia: ‘I Assumed I Wouldn’t Live Past 30’
Jane Fonda once thought her life was on the line during a harmful period at the beginning of her career.
When the actress was in her twenties, she began to suffer from an eating disorder.
“I led a secret life. I was very, very unhappy. I assumed I wouldn’t live past 30,” Fonda said during her interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Wednesday. In true Fonda fashion, the Hollywood icon joked that she doesn’t “understand” how she’s now in her eighties.
The “Grace and Frankie” star then explained that her “secret life” consisted of basically being a home body- she had a nonexistent dating life and never went out, which made her “unhappy.”
