"Jane Fonda Promises to 'Raise a Ruckus' After Calling Trump a 'F**ker' in Australia"

Jane Fonda is heading back to the United States to ‘raise a ruckus’ after enjoying her trip Down Under.

The 87-year-old Oscar winner, who has been in Australia headlining talk events in Sydney and Melbourne as part of the Wanderlust True North Series, assured fans that she would be back soon, but not before tackling the political climate back in the US.

Speaking to Daily Telegraph on Sunday, the Book Club star opened up about the mix of emotions she felt returning to the US as several ‘No Kings’ protests took place across the country over the weekend.

‘I’ll tell you what, I love Australia but it is very hard being here and looking at what is happening in my country, my city, my state,’ she told the publication.

She then made a weighty promise to her Aussie fans, assuring them she was going back with a fight.

‘I go home tomorrow and I’ll just go home and raise a ruckus,’ she sensationally said.

This isn’t the first time Jane brushed on American politics while in the Land Down Under.

During a rumoured $300,000 appearance in Melbourne on Thursday, the Hollywood legend held absolutely nothing back during a Q&A.

The actress, known for her trailblazing activism and iconic aerobics videos, unleashed a tirade against Donald Trump, dropping the F-bomb not once but twice, to a stunned crowd of more than one thousand women.

It was Fonda’s fiery ‘call to arms’ that proved the most explosive part of her appearance. She launched into a blistering attack on US President Donald Trump, labelling him ‘that f**ker’ as she urged the crowd to make a difference.

The Grace and Frankie star was born in New York in 1937 to legendary Hollywood star Henry Fonda, and she is the sister of late actor Peter Fonda and aunt of retired actress Bridget Fonda.

The seasoned activist, famously dubbed ‘Hanoi Jane’ for her stance against the Vietnam War, proudly spoke of her more recent arrests in her 80s for non-violent civil disobedience during climate change rallies.

‘It feels so good to be arrested,’ she confessed, highlighting her lifelong commitment to fighting for her beliefs.

‘People who do things that are stupid, bad and cruel and hostile, like the people running my government now; they’re not bad people, they’re unwell,’ Fonda declared in her assessment of the former US leadership.

The veteran actress also weighed in on American politics, acknowledging the millions who voted for Trump. ‘In the United States, 78 million people voted for Trump, not all of them MAGA,’ she noted.

However, Fonda predicted a swift change of heart for many: ‘But working class people are really hurting in the United States, men and women. They’re going to have buyer’s regret very soon about voting the way they did.’

In a powerful and expletive-laden speech, Fonda roared: ‘F**k those neoliberals and fascists and people who don’t move to love. We have to move to love and empathy.’
