Jane Fonda and Lily Singh had an awkward interview on the red carpet at the SAG Awards.
Jane Fonda may be experiencing the honor of a lifetime at this evening’s SAG Awards, but the legendary actor kicked off the night with a rather uncomfortable red carpet interview with Lilly Singh.
Fonda, who will become the 60th recipient of the SAG Life Achievement Award tonight, was the first celebrity Singh spoke to during the pre-show (which she cohosted alongside Sasheer Zamata). She started off her interview normally enough, with a bit of chatter about her custom Armani gown.
However, the chat took a turn when Singh asked the Grace and Frankie star about the advice she has for younger actors and what she does when she’s not working. At one point, Fonda even called out Singh for putting words in her mouth.
The tone was extremely off, to put it lightly, and everyone on X noticed too, where the tweets about the cringey exchange came flooding in.
“Omg this #JaneFonda interview is SO AWKWARD,” one wrote. Another added, “It’s #JaneFonda ok? That was an akward [sic] moment.”
Meanwhile, one X user suspected, “Jane Fonda did NOT want to talk,” while another criticized the “cringe” pre-show, writing, “The Jane Fonda interview was bizarre.
