Jane Fonda Scared Off Wild Bear to Protect Infant Grandson

The actress used quick thinking and recent training to safely remove a bear from her New Mexico home while babysitting her grandson.

  • Jane Fonda revealed she once confronted a wild bear that entered her New Mexico home while she was caring for her infant grandson, Malcolm.
  • The incident occurred in the middle of the night when Fonda discovered the bear sniffing near her grandson's crib after dismantling a screen door.
  • Using techniques she had recently learned for bear encounters, Fonda roared and made herself appear larger by raising her arms and opening her bathrobe.
  • Her actions successfully scared the bear, which left the room but urinated on the rug before being pushed out of the house.
  • The story was shared during Fonda's appearance on Netflix's 'Skip Intro' podcast alongside her son, Troy Garity, who recounted the dramatic event.
