Simple reason reclusive Bridget Fonda quit movies and has no intention of returning

Bridget Fonda has revealed she has no plans to return to acting two decades after her retirement.

The 59-year-old former Hollywood star shot to fame in the 90s with her roles in The Godfather Part III and Single White Female.

But in 2002 the blonde bombshell vanished from the limelight, deciding to leave Hollywood behind.

Since then she’s led a reclusive life, rarely being spotted out in public.

But Fonda recently addressed her retirement after she was seen arriving at Los Angeles International Airport with her son, eighteen-year-old Oliver Elfman, on Monday.

Photographers approached Fonda and asked her whether she’d like to make a Hollywood comeback, the Daily Mail reports.

Fonda responded: “No. I don’t think so.”

Revealing the reason why, she added: “It’s too nice being a civilian.”

Asked whether she could possibly change her mind about retiring, Fonda once again replied: “No.”

Fonda’s remarks come just days after she was spotted running errands in Los Angeles.

On Friday (April 14) she looked almost unrecognisable from her acting days as she was snapped while wearing an oversized white sweater, paired with black trousers and a pair of simple navy-blue trainers.

The former actor is part of Hollywood’s renowned Fonda family, including her father, the late actor Peter Fonda, and fellow movie star aunt Jane Fonda.

She has a number of high-profile movie credits to her own name, including Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 thriller Jackie Brown and 1998 thriller A Simple Plan.

But her last acting credit came in 2002 for the TV mini-series The Snow Queen while her final major movie role was in 2001’s Kiss of the Dragon.

In 2003 Fonda got into a serious car accident and sustained “a slight fracture of two thoracic vertebrae” according to the BBC.

But since then she has made a full recovery and has gone on to enjoy a quiet family life.

It was just last year that Fonda was spotted out in public for the first time in over a decade.

She was seen in January 2022 doing some shopping in LA and was once again joined by her son, who she shares with her husband Danny Elfman.

Fonda married film composer Elfman, who has two daughters from a previous marriage, back in 2003 and the couple lives in a lavish ranch in the hills of Santa Barbra.

Her last red carpet appearance came in 2009 for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds.
