Jane Fonda shares brutal advice for getting over a breakup after three divorces
Legendary actress Jane Fonda has offered some expert advice for anyone going through the end of a relationship.
The 85-year-old, who admits she still uses her world-famous exercise video, has had her fair share of lovers and husbands although she says she did stop dating when she turned 80.
The star and activist recently revealed she was in remission for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after undergoing gruelling treatment that left her struggling to keep up with her normal routine.
Speaking about her upcoming film 80 for Brady, which stars Fonda, Oscar-winning actress Sally Fields, 76, West Side Story sensation Rita Moreno, 91, and her Grace and Frankie co-star, Lily Tomlin, 83, she shared a method to help get over heartbreak.

“Put a rubber band around your wrist, and every time you feel like sticking a knife into the f***er, snap it hard.
“It snaps you out of it – it works.”
Fonda, who has been married three times, previously reflected that she sees this as an accomplishment because she never matched her dad’s record of five divorces.

The Barbarella actress’s first husband was director Roger Vadim and the couple had daughter Vanessa Vadim, 54, before splitting after eight years together in 1973.
