White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney is finagling to get a one-on-one with Jane Fonda because she has been cast in Jane’s iconic role in the remake of Barbarella. Jane has publicly voiced her concern, telling The Hollywood Reporter that she “tried not to think about,” the new movie. Looking back, Jane realizes how exploitative and anti-feminist the film really was, and she’s probably embarrassed. When Sydney landed the role she paid tribute to Jane by posting the above image of her to her Instagram account, but now Sydney yearns for Jane’s stamp of approval before filming starts. An insider says Sydney is leaning into any mutual connection to arrange a meeting. Ideally she would LOVE Jane to make a cameo in the film, but at the very least wants her blessing and input before production starts.
