Jane Fonda made her “Our Souls at Night” co-star Robert Redford blush at the colorful press conference for the Netflix film at the Venice Film Festival on Friday.
Fonda, who was in a particularly cheeky mood at the presser, joked that she “lives for sex scenes,” and spoke candidly of her enduring love and admiration for Redford since they starred together in “The Chase” in 1966 and “Barefoot in the Park” the following year.
Throughout the press conference, which was also attended by “Our Souls at Night” director Ritesh Batra, both Redford and Fonda spoke of the rampant ageism within the film industry and the limited representation of older characters in movies.
