Jane Fonda has said that if she was ever to date someone again she wouldn’t want them to be older than 20.

The 85-year-old is a celebrated star of the screen and over the years she’s had quite a tumultuous love life, having dated many men and married a few.

Her first husband was film director Roger Vadim, with the couple tying the knot in 1965 and welcoming a daughter three years later.

After they divorced in 1973 she married political activist Tom Hayden (the guy Eddie Redmayne played in The Trial of the Chicago 7).

They were together for 17 years before divorcing in 1990 and had a son together.

A year later Fonda married CNN founder Ted Turner and divorced a decade after that.

She continued to date after that, but after breaking up with record producer Richard Perry in 2017 she was asked what she’d learned about her love life and said: “Nothing. I’m not cut out for it.”

A year afterwards she said that now she’d reached the age of 80 she wasn’t dating any more and had ‘closed up shop down there’.

Five years on from that she’s laid out her conditions for getting back into dating, saying (perhaps not entirely seriously) that ‘he’d have to be 20’ because she wasn’t a fan of ‘old skin’.

Fonda was appearing on Absolutely Not, a podcast by comedian Heather McMahan, when she was asked about dating in her 80s.

She said: “I’m ashamed to say this but if I were to take a lover he’d have to be 20. Because I don’t like old skin. I don’t.”

Her comment got a lot of laughter from McMahan, who said she was ‘right there with you’ on not liking old skin and quipped that she was ‘doing everything I can to keep it fresh’.

The clip was posted to TikTok where some people took offence against it, wondering what the reaction might have been had an 85-year-old man said he’d only date a 20-year-old woman.

However, plenty of others pointed out that it was almost definitely a joke and you shouldn’t expect Jane Fonda to be strutting down any red carpets with a 20-year-old man on her arm any time soon.

“People really don’t understand what a joke is!” one person wrote, while another suggested that she was ‘just saying 20 for comedic effect’.

Then again, some people were hoping she was serious as someone else wrote: “I’m here, Jane.”

Well, he tried.

Pete Davidson has opened up about how he starts dating people following a string of high-profile relationships.

The comic has gone out with some absolutely huge stars, and naturally the dalliances attract a lot of publicity – but he doesn’t seem to get what all the fuss is about.

Watch here:

The 29-year-old has been in relationships with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Kate Beckinsale, Ariana Grande, and Phoebe Dynevor, and yet the media attention seems bizarre to him.

“Look, I’m in my 20s and I’ve dated people, and for some reason that is very crazy and interesting to people,” he told Jon Bernthal on his Real Ones podcast.

“I don’t think it’s that interesting. I’ve been in show business for half my life – almost for like 14, 15 years – and on a national TV show, and in 12 years I’ve dated like 10 people.

“I don’t really think that’s that crazy. But to some people, it seems very interesting.”

I mean, come on Pete. Dating 10 people in 12 years – not that crazy or interesting. Dating Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Kate Beckinsale, Ariana Grande etc – pretty damn crazy and interesting.

But the Saturday Night Live star insisted all these relationships came about organically.

He said: “That [his love life] became all anyone would talk about and it was confusing because I’m not on Instagram.

“I’m not, like, on social media. I’m not flexing.

“These people that I’ve dated, I met them at work. I wasn’t in anyone’s DMs. No one was in mine.

“I worked at one of the five Hollywood epicentres where you meet people, and that’s just who I was working with and who I was around, and that’s how it happens.”

He went on to explain that the publicity around his private life can have an adverse effect – both on him and his friends and family.

“I could be on Instagram and be like, ‘Actually, Cosmopolitan, that is not true. You see, my mother and I live in the same house but I have an apartment in the basement. I don’t live with my mum,'” he said.

“But, like, who the f**k wants that? I don’t got to defend myself.

“I don’t feel like I owe that to anyone, but it affects the people around you. And then, all of a sudden, you’re in this f**king zeitgeist and everything that’s spoken about you has zero to do with the work, and that is a really sh*tty feeling.”

American Pie star Jennifer Coolidge says she slept with more than 200 people thanks to her role as Stifler’s mum.

The 62-year-old star was catapulted to fame after she landed the part of MILF Jeanine Stifler – or Stifler’s mum as she’s better known – in the popular movie franchise.

Coolidge set pulses racing as the sexy older woman who seduced teen Paul Finch in the hit 1999 flick – and it turns out that off camera, the role gave Coolidge’s love life an unexpected boost.

Speaking to Variety in 2022, the White Lotus actor said: “I got a lot of play being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie.

“There were so many benefits to doing that movie. I mean, there would be like 200 people that I would never have slept with.”

Coolidge had appeared in a few movies prior to the legendary 1999 film about a bunch of high school students who all want to lose their virginity before the year is finished.

The role was just as iconic as the movie franchise itself and she got to play the character four times for American Pie, American Pie 2, American Wedding and American Reunion.

However, in her interview with Variety, she lamented about being typecast after playing Jeanine Stifler and Paulette Bonafonté Parcelle in the Legally Blonde films and felt no one in Hollywood wanted her to play serious roles.

“The saddest thing about life is that you just make decisions about yourself,” she said.

“If I’m not getting great roles, I come to the conclusion that people think I’m incapable of that.

“And then I make the decision that I am incapable of that. You actually have to have a [White Lotus director] Mike White that comes in and says, I think you can do this.”

HBO

Thankfully, her role as Tanya McQuoid in the HBO series has helped elevate her status in Hollywood.

The way she played the hilarious and odd character has even earned her her first Emmy Award nomination.

Variety said her performance in the show ‘cemented a career renaissance’, which was ‘more nourishing for how long Coolidge waited to deliver it’.

The actor added: “I have done one thing really right in my life… I’ve picked great friends.

“If Mike was never successful, and we just did White Lotus as a play in a little theatre where everyone paid 10 bucks to see it, it would still be one of the greatest things that ever happened to me.

“Because it was a killer job that no one else thought I could do.”

A British bloke says he’s happy for his other-half to have sex with other men while he’s away at work and says it’s not cheating as he’s ‘involved’.

Matt, 36, and 31-year-old Zoe, from the UK, had only been dating a few months when he suggested that she sleep with other men – and somewhat surprisingly, it didn’t lead to a relationship break down, with Matt even declaring there’s more trust between the couple than anyone he’s ever dated before.

Appearing on the YouTube series Love Don’t Judge, Matt explained that he had initially suggested the idea.

Speaking to Zoe in the clip, he explained: “When you agreed to it, I was happy with it, because I’ve spoken to you previously – I’d been cheated on [before], so I was quite happy to find someone who wasn’t going to cheat behind my back.”

So with Matt’s permission, Zoe began going out and meeting other guys and would have sex with them while he was at work,

But he wasn’t missing out – as she would send Matt videos and photos.

“You’d send me pictures, videos,” Matt recalled.

“I ended up being involved in it [virtually]… It was like my own amateur porn.”

And this actually led to a career change for Zoe, who now runs an OnlyFans account, where she shares adult content.

Matt admits that at times he has been jealous, but insists that it’s a ‘nice feeling’.

“I wouldn’t say I’d never be jealous,” he revealed. “It’s quite a nice feeling, even though it’s jealousy.

“Because at the end of the day you know you’re included, and you know you’re coming home to me.”

After Zoe branched out with other blokes, she suggested to Matt that he follow suit and arrange his own hookups with women outside of their relationship – but he was initially hesitant.

“I never wanted to sleep with anyone else,” he told Zoe. “You wanted to see me do it.”

Now the pair go to swinging clubs together where they’ll both happily have sex with other people.

Despite the unusual setup, it works for Matt and Zoe, who say that they trust one another and don’t consider the sex outside their relationship as cheating.

Zoe said: “Many people think it’s a form of cheating but it’s not because I don’t do anything behind [Matt’s] back.”

Matt added in: “We hide nothing from each other – at all – because there’s no need. Like I say, there’s more trust in this relationship than I’ve had with all the others. “
