Veteran actress Jane Fonda finds it weird that she is still considered a fashion icon at the age of 77.
The former model, who was famous for her range of home fitness videos in the '80s, thinks it's hilarious she is still considered to be a style and health inspiration as she approaches her 80th birthday, reported Daily Express.
"Isn't it weird? In my dotage! I think it's a hoot that, at my age, people are calling me a fashion icon," Fonda said.
The "This Is Where I Leave You" actress said she felt pressured into having cosmetic surgery at one stage in her life - something she is now not proud of - because she was a star who was always defined by how she looked.
"I did have plastic surgery. I'm not proud of the fact that I've had it. But I grew up so defined by my looks. I was taught to think that if I wanted to be loved, I had to be thin and pretty. That leads to a lot of trouble," she said.
