Godfather 3 star Bridget Fonda, 61, shows off her recent weight loss… almost 30 years after playing sexy pin-ups

by

I’ll always remember Bridget Fonda as a total knockout from the ’90s! She had this amazing ability to play the girl-next-door type, but with a really captivating, smoldering energy. I loved her in movies like ‘Jackie Brown’ and ‘Singles’ – she just lit up the screen.

The 61-year-old actress also played a seductive news reporter in the classic film The Godfather Part III, sharing a scene with Andy Garcia.

After ending her role on Snow Queen and retiring from acting 23 years ago, Jane Fonda embraced a more relaxed lifestyle. She gained weight, changing her appearance significantly as she focused on being a mother and wife.

In February 2003, Bridget suffered a fractured spine in a car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway, close to Malibu.

That same year the looker married entertainment composer Danny Elfman, now 72.

Earlier this year, Jane Fonda’s niece lost a lot of weight and proudly displayed her new figure in tank tops and skinny jeans.

The actress showed off her noticeably slimmer figure on Thursday while having lunch with a friend in Los Angeles. She wore a black outfit paired with a blue shirt and black sneakers that had white soles.

Earlier this month, functional nutritionist Monica Partier explained the actor’s significant weight loss.

Partier told the Daily Mail that she’s lost at least 75 pounds in the last few years, which is a significant achievement, especially considering her age—she’s over 50.

Jane Fonda may have used medications like Ozempic or other drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound to help with her weight loss. However, it’s also possible she lost weight through diet and exercise alone.

Experts emphasize that a healthy metabolism requires balance. A nutritionist explained that key factors include checking hormone levels, supporting gut health, addressing any nutritional deficiencies, minimizing exposure to obesogens, and managing chronic stress.

I advise my clients to prioritize whole, natural foods whenever possible. A quick example is a simple salad made with fresh tomatoes and avocado, dressed with avocado oil and a pinch of sea salt. I also encourage them to include plenty of healthy fiber sources like fruits, nuts, and beans in their diet.

It’s important to include healthy fats in your diet. A good approach is to eat fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel, or to cook with coconut oil.

As a wellness expert, I always tell my clients to ditch the calorie counting! It’s so much more effective – and enjoyable! – to focus on filling your kitchen with truly nourishing, whole foods that you can easily prepare yourself. It’s about what you eat, not how much.

According to experts, healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated. A good starting point is to focus on getting enough protein and fresh vegetables, and to try and avoid fried foods, sugary drinks, and refined carbohydrates.

Eating healthy, whole foods can help prevent illness and improve your overall health, according to recent statements. Prioritizing good nutrition is key to fighting chronic diseases and feeling your best.

Honestly, I’ve found that managing stress is just a really good idea for overall health. And Partier has a simple solution that I swear by: daily walks outside in nature, combined with meditation. It really makes a difference!

Fonda – who used to date Eric Stoltz in the 1990s – has not publicly commented on her weight loss.

The blonde married film composter Elfman – who used to be with the band Oingo Boingo – in 2003.

Elfman has frequently worked with directors Tim Burton, Sam Raimi and Gus Van Sant.

He’s collaborated with Tim Burton on nearly 20 films, including classics like Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, and more recent projects like Alice in Wonderland.

He also composed the music for several films, including A Simple Plan, the Spider-Man movies (Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2), Oz the Great and Powerful, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Honestly, it’s been awful watching all this unfold. For years, I’ve been his biggest fan, but lately it’s just been one accusation after another. He’s had to constantly defend himself against claims of sexual harassment, and it’s heartbreaking to see. The worst part? One of the people accusing him was someone he used to mentor – a former protégé. It just feels… unbelievable, and I really hope it’s all just misunderstanding or lies. I want to believe in him.

It is believed that Elfman is still with Fonda. 

The daughter of Peter Fonda got her start with The Godfather Part III (1990).

She achieved significant success as an actress in a string of films, including Single White Female (1992), Singles (1992), Point of No Return (1993), It Could Happen to You (1994), Balto (1995), City Hall (1996), Jackie Brown (1997), A Simple Plan (1998), Lake Placid (1999), and Kiss of the Dragon (2001).

She earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Mandy Rice-Davies in the 1989 film, Scandal. She also received Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy nominations for her performances in the TV films In the Gloaming (1997) and No Ordinary Baby (2001).
