Jane Fonda is just getting started.
The 85-year-old Oscar winner — and longtime activist — is shocked that more people aren’t protesting to save the planet and told us she has no plans of stopping any time soon.
“I don’t know how you could not [protest],” she told Pvnew at the “Book Club: The Next Chapter” premiere this week.
“I have grandchildren,” she continued. “I love animals, I love nature. We’re going to destroy it all if we don’t.
“It’s all hands on deck right now, it’s urgent, urgent and everyone has to join in right now.”
Fonda — who began protesting the Vietnam War in the ’60s — is behind the group Fire Drill Fridays which protests weekly on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, “to demand that action by our political leaders be taken to address the climate emergency we are in.”
Back in October 2019, the octogenarian was arrested three times in consecutive weeks.
One week she was arrested with members of the group Oil Change with “Grace and Frankie” co-star Sam Waterston and Ted Danson.
Another week, she had handcuffs slapped on her alongside Rosanna Arquette and Catherine Keener.
Between her protest arrests, Fonda has been busy working in the last few years, co-starring in “Grace and Frankie” alongside Lily Tomlin and starring in movies like “80 for Brady” and the upcoming “Book Club” sequel,” which was filmed in Italy.
“I love Italy,” she enthused. “I have Italian blood in me. I’ve spent…I made ‘Barbarella’ there, it took a year, I’ve spent a lot of time in Italy.”
Fonda was joined by her co-stars Mary Steenburgen, Candice Bergen and Diane Keaton at the screening, along with Judd Hirsch, Carole Kane, Peter Gallagher and Clive Davis.
