Jane Fonda has confessed that during her 17-year marriage to activist Tom Hayden she hid her Oscars to “play down the Hollywood part of herself”.
The 86-year-old Grace and Frankie actress, who recently made headlines for refusing to date anyone over 20 because she hates “old skin,” didn't brag about her successes during her marriage to the 76-year-old Tom.

Jane shared her unconventional take on love and dating in a recent interview on comedian Heather McMahan's Absolutely Not podcast.
When asked about dating someone in her 80s, Fonda dropped a bombshell: “I'm ashamed to say this, but if I were to take a lover, he would have to be 20.”
When Jane was then asked why 20 was particularly appealing, she replied dryly: “Because I don't like old skin.”
