Jane Fonda has revealed she went skinny dipping with Michael Jackson.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 85-year-old actress blurted out: “I saw Michael Jackson naked.”

Fonda explained that the King of Pop visited her on the New Hampshire set of her 1981 film On Golden Pond. “I had a little cottage right on the lake and it was a beautiful moonlit night,” she recalled.

Fonda said Jackson (who was in his early 20s at the time) suggested they strip down and jump into Squam Lake. “I think because he knew that he was going to die young and that I was going to talk about him being naked,” she joked.

Cohen said he was not going to press for more details out of respect for Jackson, who died in 2009 at 50. But, Fonda summed up what she saw that night.

“He was skinny.”
