Jane Fonda says Robert Redford wasn’t a fan of making out on screen.
Despite the couple starring in four films together, the Grace and Frankie star revealed that Redford hated love scenes while speaking on a panel at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday.
“He didn’t like kissing,” Fonda admitted, according to Deadline.
The actress and activist recalled that Redford was testy on set but said she never pressed him as to why.
“I never said anything,” she revealed. “And he’s always in a bad mood and I always thought it was my fault.”
“He’s a very good person,” Fonda added. “He just has a problem with women.” Fonda didn’t elaborate.

The celebrity said she learned not to take things personally when she and Redford collaborated on Our Souls at Night in 2017.
“The last film I did with him was six years ago,” Fonda said. “What was I, about 80 years old or something like that. And I finally knew I was an adult. When he turned up three hours late on set in a bad mood, I knew it wasn’t my fault.”
Despite the delays, she said, “We always had a good time.”
Fonda and Redford first worked together on 1960’s “Tall Story” before collaborating again on 1967’s “Barefoot in the Park.” The couple also starred in 1979’s The Electric Horseman, which would be their last film together until 2017.
While discussing her chemistry with Redford at the 2017 Venice Film Festival, Fonda told those in attendance that he wasn’t so thrilled.
“I live for sex scenes with him,” she said. “He doesn’t like sex scenes, [but] He’s a great kisser.”
Redford was married to historian Lola Van Wagenen from 1958 to 1985. In 2009 he married artist Sibylle Szaggars.
Fonda has been married three times: first to French filmmaker Roger Vadim from 1965 to 1973, then to politician Tom Hayden from 1973 to 1990, and most recently to media mogul Ted Turner, whom she married in 1991 and divorced in 2001.
