Jane Fonda Throws Award at Director Justine Triet at Cannes Film Festival 2023

Jane Fonda took a pretty dramatic step to make sure that director Justine Triet didn’t forget her Palm d’Or award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

On Saturday (May 27), the 85-year-old screen icon presented the Anatomy of a Fall director with her award during a ceremony.

However, Justine left it behind while she was rushing to celebrate with the rest of her squad. Jane attempted to get her attention, but she hauled back and tossed it at the director when she was unsuccessful.

The hilarious moment was caught on camera.

Even though Jane managed to hit Justine with the award, she did not appear to notice. That might be because the award was a light scroll and not all that heavy!

A clip of the moment appeared online. In it, Jane appears frustrated and shocked as Justine continues to walk even after being hit in the back of the head. She continued to chase her down, and another person onstage picked up the award for her.

Jane gave a truly iconic interview during the festival. In it, she commented on many of her past co-stars, revealing which ones she thought didn’t like her, which “has an issue with women” and which had lost their looks.
