Jane Fonda confessed she agreed to a date with 90-year-old Richard Lugner, and he’s paying her to accompany him to the Vienna Opera Ball on Thursday.
Being one of the highlights of the social calendar in Austria, the award-winning Hollywood actress admitted she accepted the Austrian building tycoon’s invitation because Lugner offered to "pay me quite a bit of money." She said at a Wednesday news conference with her date that she needed the money to pay her bills and to support her grandchildren. "I support a lot of people," Fonda said.
She acknowledged not being well-informed about the event before she accepted Lugner's invitation, telling reporters she thought it was to an "opera performance" and not a ball.
Fonda, who is well known for her activism to curb climate change, said she was "sorry" to learn Austrian oil and gas company OMV sponsored the Vienna Opera Ball. "These fossil fuel companies are criminal.They’re criminal.They’re killing people.They’re killing the planet," the "Grace and Frankie" star remarked. "Please try to get your opera to stop taking support from an oil company," she added.
