Reclusive Hollywood star Bridget Fonda, 59, unrecognisable 20 years after retirement

Bridget Fonda has been seen looking unrecognisable two decades after retiring from the world of acting.

The nineties actress looked completely different as she was spotted out on a rare outing in Los Angeles, California, on Friday.

The 59-year-old, who took a step back from acting in 2002, went for a casual ensemble while running errands.

Bridget was last seen in September 2022 wore a cosy oversized white sweater along with a pair of black pants, and navy trainers.

She accessorised her look with a black crossbody purse.

The star wore her silver locks pulled back into a ponytail and wore black glasses.

The mum-of-one went makeup-free while holding a mobile phone and a stack of papers in the other as she went about her day.

The last time Bridget was seen was in September of 2022 while doing some shopping at a landscaping supply store and before that she was seen in January 2022 when she was running errands with her husband Danny Elfman and their son.

Before then she was last photographed in 2009 while attending the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's World War II flick Inglorious B*******.

It has previously been reported that Fonda decided to step out of the spotlight so she could focus on raising her son, and the family has been living on a ranch in Santa Barbara.

Fonda was sure to get into the acting game as she comes from a long line of successful actors.

Her grandfather is acclaimed movie star Henry Fonda, her dad is actor Peter Fonda, and her aunt is well-known icon Jane Fonda.

Bridget began acting at the young age of four in the 1969 movie Easy Rider and made her mark on the acting world throughout the eighties and nineties after earning key roles in a number of popular films.

In 1997, Fonda graced the silver screen with Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, and Pam Grier in Tarantino's crime-drama Jackie Brown.
