• Jane Fonda has revealed that she and Michael Jackson once skinny-dipped together in the 1980s.
• "It was a beautiful, moonlit night," she told Andy Cohen, adding that it had been Jackson's idea.
• She then joked that "he knew he was going to die young and that I would talk about him being naked."

Jane Fonda has revealed that she and Michael Jackson once saw each other naked after the pair decided to go skinny-dipping together.

Appearing on "Watch What Happens Live" on Monday, the "Book Club: The Next Chapter" star shocked host Andy Cohen by sharing an anecdote about her and the late pop star, who she was good friends with in the 1980s.

"I saw Michael Jackson naked," she said after she was chosen over her costars Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen to partake in a game of "Plead the Fifth."

"He came and visited me when we were shooting 'On Golden Pond,' and I had a little cottage right on the lake, and it was a beautiful, moonlit night," she said.

"And you said, 'Let's skinny-dip?'" Cohen asked.

"No, he did!" she replied.

At the time Jackson was in his early twenties and riding high off the success of his album "Off The Wall," which produced four top 10 singles for him.

Fonda, meanwhile, was just over 20 years his senior and had recently starred in the huge box office success "9 to 5" with Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin.

The "Grace & Frankie" star then joked that Jackson — who died at the age of 50 in 2009 — suggested the late-night nude swim because "he knew he was going to die young" and that she would go on to publicly "talk about him being naked."

"He was skinny," she added.

"I'm not going to ask anything else about it because I want to be respectful of Michael," Cohen responded.

Fonda said that the "Thriller" singer was not the only star she skinny-dipped with during her heyday. She and Hollywood Golden Age star Greta Garbo, who she described as having "the most athletic body," also took part in the activity.

Fonda has previously spoken about her friendship with Jackson, who faced sexual abuse allegations both in his lifetime and after his death, and revealed in a 2015 interview with The Hollywood Reporter that her "On Golden Pond" costar Katharine Hepburn was against the idea of having him on set.

"[He] came and stayed for 10 days," she said. "And when I first asked [Hepburn] permission she was not happy. Then the crew said, 'You don't understand. It's Michael Jackson!' We lived together."
