Jane Fonda: Director asked to see ‘what my orgasms are like’ for film
Jane Fonda has no problem exposing the big bad wolf of her cinematic story.
The 85-year-old Oscar winner divulged “one man in Hollywood” she’d rejected after he tried to ask her out on a date in a very bold (not to mention inappropriate) way.
Fonda appeared on Monday’s episode of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” where she got candid about her uncomfortable experience.
During the segment “Plead the Fifth,” host Andy Cohen asked the “Monster-in-Law” star who “tried to pick you up once that you turned down.”
She recalled exactly who that was: “The French director René Clément.”
Clément — who died in 1996 — helmed the 1964 thriller “Joy House,” starring Fonda.

“Was it a sloppy pass?” Cohen, 54, wondered.
“Well, he wanted to go to bed with me because he said that the character had to have an orgasm in the movie and he needed to see what my orgasms were like,” the Golden Globe winner explained. “But he said it in French and I pretended like I didn’t understand.”
The Bravo celebrity rated her experience on the show as “amazing, perfect.”
“I have stories for you kid, we don’t have time,” Fonda winked, concluding her coy confession.
Elsewhere on the late-night talk show, Fonda admitted that she once went skinny dipping with the late Michael Jackson, noting how “skinny” the “Thriller” singer appeared.
“I think because he knew he was going to die young,” she added of Jackson, who passed away in June 2009 at the age of 50 from acute propofol intoxication.

Fonda will next be seen in the comedy “Book Club: The Next Chapter” alongside pals Diane Keaton, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen.
The story revolves around four best friends who take their book club on a much-needed trip to Italy, where they soak up some sun, fun and adventures.
