Hollywood legend Jane Fonda is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 SAG Awards, but before her big moment, an awkward red carpet interview stole the spotlight.

Jane Fonda’s Cringeworthy Interview Goes Viral

During Netflix’s pre-show, hosted by Lilly Singh and Sasheer Zamata, the 87-year-old actress and activist gave brief, clipped responses, appearing disinterested—if not slightly annoyed.

The exchange quickly went viral, sparking reactions across social media.

“Was anyone else EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE … just now?” one viewer posted on X (formerly Twitter). “That Jane Fonda interview was cringey af omg,” another added.

Some fans speculated about the Barbarella star’s health, wondering if she was feeling unwell, while others criticized Singh’s interview approach. “This is about them, not you. Ask the question and then zip it,” one user wrote.
