Insiders claim that the "Walk on the Wild Side" beauty is absolutely obsessive about taking care of her feet and is particularly finicky about potential dates' tootsies. Jane Fonda, a screen siren in the past, is said to have a peculiar fascination with feet.
The woman, who is 86 years old, is still beautiful, but she claims she will only date younger guys because she does not like "old skin." However, sources suggest that males must pass a foot inspection even in that case.
“If she dares to go on a date or meets an interesting younger man at a dinner party, she must see his feet,” a tattletale blabbed to GLOBE Magazine. “If he doesn’t take care of them, and she’ll know at one glance, she won’t even consider seeing him again.”
According to sources, the "Book Club" star, who has been divorced three times, is also said to have a complete system dedicated to maintaining the health and beauty of her hooves, Closer Weekly reported.
“She’s obsessed with keeping her feet in the best shape possible and indulges in Epsom salt and peppermint oil foot baths on a regular basis, plus she gets foot massages and pedicures and doctor check-ups,” an insider spilled. “The money she spends on footwear is incredible, but money’s no object as long as it maintains optimum health.”
Even the things that she puts on her tootsies are a matter of choice for her.
“Most designer high heels are off limits because they’re too uncomfortable at her age, so she wears mostly highpriced sneakers now,” the insider said.
As an exception, the source mentioned that the sneaker-hybrid heels, which are so comfortable and cost $600 and were designed by Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, are included.
“Jane also changes her socks during the day to stave off infections and other foot problems.”
The “Barbarella” babe also got a bizarre practice of “talking to her feet and believes all sorts of emotions and personality traits can be revealed in a person’s tootsies,” the insider added. “It’s no secret Jane takes great pains to stay youthful looking, but people think her foot obsession is a little nuts.”
As an actress, Jane, a political activist, originally came to fame in comedic roles, as per TV Insider. Despite this, she eventually established herself as a serious professional actor, and she was awarded Academy Awards for her performance in the films "Klute" (1971) and "Coming Home" (1978).
