Piers Morgan: GMB host takes aim at A-lister Jane Fonda and her Oscars 2020 ‘sacrifice’

Piers Morgan, 54, took aim a Jane Fonda on Twitter today, after the 82-year-old actress shared details of her Oscars 2020 outfit online.

The Good Morning Britain presenter appeared to make a sarcastic dig at the movie star, who is on a campaign to raise awareness for climate change.

The award-winning actress, who has two Academy Awards under her belt and is best known for starring in films such as 1968s Barbarella and Klute (1971), decided to wear jewellery featuring “ethically harvested gold” and “sustainable diamonds” for Hollywood’s biggest night of the year.

Jane took to Twitter following the Oscars on Sunday to share some details about her glamorous outfit.

Sharing a picture of herself in her sparkly red gown with short cropped hair, she told her 824,200 followers: “At Oscars wearing Pomellato jewelry because it only uses responsible, ethically harvested gold and sustainable diamonds. #Oscars.”(sic)

Earlier today, Piers retweeted the post, along with the caption: “The sacrifice is humbling,” alongside an emoji of hands in prayer.

Twitter users headed straight to the comments section to share their thoughts on the post about the actress.

One user joked: “Puts the rest of us mere mortals to shame.”

Another remarked: “Such empty symbolism is what Hollywood I all about.”

A third added: “Awww! I have tears in my eyes over such a huge ‘sacrifice’! Only wearing ethical diamonds and gold! Bless her heart Hanoi Jane.”(sic)

Fans on Jane’s original post were a bit more positive, with one adding: “Love you Jane, just beautiful! Appreciate what you are doing for our environment!”

Another wrote: “Thank you for brining the red coat on stage. We see you. We care about climate change and sustainability in fashion. We also appreciate you and how you are using your platform. You are gorgeous and incredible #InSolidarity.”(sic)

A third remarked: “You Always lead with your integrity. I love you.”

Jane wore a six-year-old dress to the prestigious Academy Awards and carried a red coat in her arms when she took to the stage to present an award.

The actress, who is embarking on a campaign to raise awareness for climate change, previously declared the coat was “the last article of clothing I will ever buy”.

She recently wore the jacket when she took part in a climate change protest in Los Angeles, a few days before the Oscars.

Jane’s recycled scarlet gown was previously worn to the Grace of Monaco premiere in Cannes in 2014.

At the end of Sunday’s ceremony, the star presented one of the top awards of the night – giving the Best Picture prize to Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite.
