Through her daughter, Vanessa Vadim, whom she had with her first husband, French director Roger Vadim, Jane Fonda has two grandchildren — Malcom and Viva. For a time, the actress was posting about her adventures as a grandmother on her official blog. But in 2019, she demonstrated just how much her activism gene had bounced to the next Fonda generation.
Both Malcolm and Viva joined their grandma to protest climate change in support of her organization, "Fire Drill Fridays." For three weeks in a row, Fonda was arrested while participating in protests outside the Capitol Building (via BBC News), and so were her grandchildren. According to CBS News, she and dozens of other protesters were arrested and charged "with crowding, obstructing or incommoding."
Fonda would later take to social media to sing praises of her grandkids, meeting her eldest outside of jail. "Greeting my grandson just released after @firedrillfriday arrest for civil disobedience. Proud grandma," she wrote in one post (via Instagram). In another, she posed for a proud selfie with her granddaughter (via Instagram).
