Maybe filming a movie with ex-quarterback Tom Brady rubbed off on Jane Fonda . (Watch the video below.)
The 85-year-old “80 for Brady ” star threw a perfect pass to French director Justine Triet during the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.
Fonda had just presented Triet with the Palme d’Or best-movie award for “Anatomy of a Fall.” Triet gave her acceptance speech and forgot to take her award scroll with her as she walked away.
Fonda first attempted to call her back, according to reports , then sensed perfectly it was time for a clutch play. She tossed the scroll right at Triet and it hit her in the back. It wasn’t a completion, but the Oscar winner did succeed in getting the attention of Triet’s camp. Fast-forward to 51:25.
The scroll was retrieved and the director eventually returned to the stage with Fonda at the Palais for another round of applause.
Good play, Jane. And, yes, you-know-who would have approved.
