The actress recalled the on-set incident during a recent interview.
Monster in Law, where she was a guest alongside herco-star Lily Tomlin, the Oscar winner and activist was asked to share behind-the-scenes details from her most famous films, including the 2005 romantic comedy. Whencame up, Fonda recalled sustaining an injury while filming the rom-com's pivotal slapping scene.
The scene in question see's Fonda's titular mother-in-law, Viola, show up to her son and Lopez's character Charlie's wedding wearing a white gown, after attempting to break the couple up throughout the movie. After Charlie slaps Viola in response to the latter's last-ditch effort to sabotage the event, Charlie tries to apologize, but Viola slaps her right back, delivering the iconic line: "You don't go and slap somebody and then apologize, get some backbone.
"We talked about how we were going to do this over and over again. I was so afraid to hit Jane Fonda in the face or hurt her in any way," the multi-hyphenate said. "I was so afraid of her and she was so brazen and like, 'Just hit me! Don’t worry about it, it's gonna be fine!'" She added that the scene took on a life of its own. "I just remember afterward Jane had a blood blister right at the top of her eye. My nail, like, went up into her eye. I was mortified. I was [like], 'Oh, I’m so sorry,' and she was like, 'It's fine, it's fine!'...She didn't care. She's such a gangster bitch. I just love her."Despite the possible miscommunication, there hasn't seemed to be any bad blood between the two stars over the years.
"Most of these stars are on this Hollywood Walk of Fame are for a person that has one talent," said Fonda said of Lopez
