Rita Moreno confessed she got “turned on” while filming sports comedy moving 80 for Brady.
The West Side Story Actress, 91, made the racy confession during an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! broadcast in January 2023. The Puerto Rican-born star appeared on the chat show alongside her co-stars Jane Fonda, Sally Field and Lily Tomlin to promote the film.
Explaining her favourite scene in the movie and why, Rita revealed it involved a lot of men in one locker room. She began: “I simply want to say that my favorite scene in the movie takes place in the locker room where the guys are — you know, [Rob Gronkowski], all these guys.”

To which she hilariously replied: “Not only excited me — I kept grabbing myself!” The Singin’ In The Rain star then confessed to asking herself: “What is wrong with you?” and reminding herself that she’s in her 90s.
She came to the conclusion that “nothing was wrong” with her reaction, while Sally quipped that she enjoys sex as “much as anybody does.” 80s for Brady is a quirky comedy inspired by the true story of four best friends.
