Jane Fonda has revealed that she saved her grandson from a bear in a terrifying moment. &nbsp,

The 87-year-old actress was living “out in the wild” in New Mexico and looking after her daughter Vanessa Vadim’s son Malcolm who is now 25. She revealed she found the creature standing over him while he was in his crib. The actress amid to took swift action to scare the animal away.

The story was told as Jane appeared on Netflix’s podcast titled Skip Intro with her son Troy O’Donovan Garity. The 51-year-old actor was asked to share a story with the audience about his mother that not many people would know.

Troy – whose dad is Jane’s late ex-husband Tom Hayden – went on to tell host Krista Smith: “She pushed a bear out of her bedroom… She heard something so she left the bedroom in the middle of the night to go see what the sound was. And when she came back in, the screen door was dismantled and there was a bear in the bedroom, sniffing over the crib”.

When Jane was asked how she reacted to the scary incident, she held up her hands and screamed: “Roar”! before Troy jokingly apologised to the sound man on the podcast for his mom’s shouting. The actress went on to admit the timing of the incident was lucky as she had just been shown how to react in such a situation.

She said: “I had just learned what to do if you’re close to a bear. And that was it]a scream]. And get very big, I opened my bathrobe”.

Despite Jane’s successful scare tactics, it’s claimed the bear “urinated on the rug” before it left. The actress added: “And then]it] walked back to the door and sat down and I did, I pushed it out”.

Last month, the actress hit out at US President Donald Trump in her SAG Awards speech. While the activist didn’t mention the president by name when she hit out at the administration, she made her thoughts clear in her her thinly-veiled dig. She said “a lot of people are going to be hurt by what’s coming our way” before warning the audience “we must not isolate, we must stay in community, we must help the vulnerable”.

She was on stage accepting the award at the 31st annual SAG Awards, which took place at the Shrine in Los Angeles in February. During her speech, she praised actor Sebastian Stan, who plays the felon in The Apprentice, and said: “Though you may hate the behaviour of your character, you have to understand and empathise with the traumatised person you’re playing”.
