Fonda promoted the series on CBS Sunday Morning and shared that after turning eighty-four, she’s “super-conscious that I’m closer to death. And it doesn’t really bother me that much.”

However, she did say: “What bothers me is that my body is, you know basically not mine!” She continued: “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.”

Despite Fonda being known as a fitness icon in her youth, it doesn’t seem to bother her that she can’t do as much anymore…

“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? Eh. You know, you can be really old at 60, and you can be really young at 85. Health!” she said.

Fonda also admitted that she no longer drinks alcohol as it leaves her feeling “half-mast” the day after.

She explained: “And here’s why: It’s because even with one drink, like, if I had a martini tonight, I would be at half-mast tomorrow,” adding: “Now, that wasn’t true when I was younger. But as you get older, I think alcohol affects you differently. And I only have so many tomorrows left. I don’t want to be at half-mast for any of them!”

We love her outlook on life!
