Jane Fonda exposed the grumpy side of Robert Redford, with whom she starred in four films, including a more recent one, 'Our Nights', from 2017.
“He didn't like to kiss [on the recordings]”, she said to the two-time Oscar winner ('Klute, The Past Condemns', 1971; 'Bitter Return', 1978). The 85-year-old famous spoke about the subject at the Cannes Film Festival this Friday (26).
"I never said anything [to him about it], and he was always in a bad mood - and I always thought it was my fault," she continued. “He is a very good person,” she added. "He just has a problem with women."
The duo has already shared the set in 'Human Hunt' (1966), 'Barefoot in the Park' (1967), and 'The Electric Knight' (1979).
In the last film they worked together 6 years ago, the actress said that she finally realized that the problem of bad mood was something totally the 86-year-old star and that it was not her fault. “What was I, about 80 years old or something? And I finally knew that I had evolved,” she said.
"When he arrived on set three hours late and in a bad mood, I knew it wasn't my fault." However, the 'Barbarella' star clarified: "We always have fun."
Robert Holder released a book that told all the behind-the-scenes of the movie 'Our Love Yesterday' (1973), with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in the cast.
In it, he revealed that Barbra demanded endless takes of scenes with Robert Redford and extended filming for two days. The author told Fox News that Streisand "required take after take with Redford on top of her" before she was satisfied with the steamy scene. Hofler stated that "there's no reason a scene like that should take two days [to shoot]".
"It was very obvious to everyone that she had a crush on him," the writer said, pointing to a one-sided chemistry. "But at the time Redford was working with Streisand, he was a happily married man with four children."
In the same book, he said that the actor used two underpants to protect himself in a scene with her. According to the Daily Mail, which had access to the book, Hofler says the actor "didn't want to get involved with a woman he didn't consider to be a 'serious actress,' and he wanted to 'protect himself,' as he was the father of four. children and was happily married."
