EXCLUSIVE Bridget Fonda seen with husband Danny Elfman for first time in years as she shows off dramatic weight loss

EXCLUSIVE Bridget Fonda seen with husband Danny Elfman for first time in years as she shows off dramatic weight loss

Daily Mail​29-04-2025
Reclusive star Bridget Fonda Fonda and Danny Elfman were spotted together for the first time in years—just months after she was seen without her wedding ring.
The 61-year-old screen icon, who vanished from the spotlight after starring in cult classics like Point of No Return and Jackie Brown, revealed a noticeably slimmer figure as she stepped out with the famed composer, 71, outside their Los Angeles home on Monday.
Wearing a dark pea coat and matching pants, the daughter of Hollywood legend Peter Fonda looked worlds away from her former physique, unable to hide her dramatic weight loss or the return of her gold wedding band.
Amid Hollywood's Ozempic craze, some fans suspect Bridget's transformation is due to weight-loss injections, though others credit diet and lifestyle—while she's stayed silent either way.
Danny, known for scoring Tim Burton 's biggest films, kept things casual in a baseball tee and cap as the pair were seen reviewing home renovations.
The couple, last seen on the red carpet in 2009, appeared in high spirits after years out of the spotlight—despite swirling split rumors and no divorce filing in Los Angeles courts.

Married since 2003 and parents to one son, Oliver, 20, the pair have long kept their private life tightly under wraps.
Fonda was last seen on screen in the 2002 TV movie Snow Queen.
A month before she and Elfman became engaged, she fractured her vertebrae in a serious car accident along the Pacific Coast Highway.
The injury prompted her to step away from acting for good.
After making her on-screen debut at age five in Easy Rider alongside her father, Fonda went on to work with legendary directors including Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather Part III) and Quentin Tarantino (Jackie Brown).
In 1990, she received her first Golden Globe nomination for 'Scandal'.
Her second came in 2002 for After Amy.
Fonda also earned an Emmy nomination in 1997 for In the Gloaming.

Asked a few years ago if she'd ever return to Hollywood, Fonda told DailyMail: 'No, I don't think so. It's too nice being a civilian.'
Meanwhile, Elfman—best known for his collaborations with Tim Burton on films like Batman, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Alice in Wonderland—has been battling a series of sexual harassment allegations.
In 2023, his former protégée Nomi Abadi accused him of inappropriate behavior, including once serving her a martini glass filled with semen.
Nomi Abadi, a 36-year-old composer, had previously sued Elfman for breach of contract after alleging that he had failed to pay her a portion of a settlement they had previously agreed to.
In a 2023 Rolling Stone piece, Abadi made the accusation involving the martini glass, which elicited a vigorous denial from Elfman.
But now Abadi is taking Elfman to court over his response to her claims with a new defamation lawsuit.
She is suing the Oingo Boingo singer and songwriter — who was also been sued by a second woman for alleged sexual abuse — for denying her account, which she claims is tantamount to calling her a liar, according to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
In Abadi's defamation suit, she reiterated her claims that Elfman gave her a martini glass filled with semen.

Nomi Abadi, a 36-year-old composer, had previously sued Elfman for breach of contract after alleging that he had failed to pay her a portion of a settlement they had previously agreed to
She says she was invited to Elfman's studio in August of 2016, when she was allegedly presented with the martini glass bearing a whitish substance.
Abadi describes how she 'sat in silence, terrified, gagging from the putrid smell coming from ... semen ejaculate.'
The Rolling Stone report cited a police report filed by Abadi in November 2017, in which she claimed that Elfman had exposed his genitals and masturbated in her presence — without her consent — multiple times.
In the wake of the accusations, Elfman agreed to a 2018 settlement and nondisclosure agreement with Abadi.
But she sued the musician in 2023 for breach of contract for allegedly failing to pay all of the agreed-upon $830,000.
Abadi claimed he had failed to make two payments, one due in 2019 and one in 2021, which totaled $85,000.
'How do I respond to accusations so serious that being innocent is not a valid defense? It is excruciating to consider that a 50-year career may be destroyed in one news cycle as a result of vicious and wholly false allegations about sexual misconduct,' began Elfman's denial.
'Ms. Abadi's allegations are simply not true,' he said.

Strictly star Alex Kingston's heartbreaking split from Oscar nominee after affair

Actress Alex Kingston has had a turbulent love life before joining Strictly Come Dancing as her marriage to actor Ralph Fiennes came to a heartbreaking end amid an affair Strictly Come Dancing star Alex Kingston has had a rocky love life before finding love with her husband. The Doctor Who actress, 62, has signed up to the latest series of the hit BBC dance competition as she prepares to strut her stuff on the dancefloor. ‌ She became a firm favourite of Doctor Who fans after landing the role of River Song and her character was part of David Tenant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi's stints on the sci-fi show. Her TV career has seen her star in US medical drama ER, period dramas The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders, Arrow and A Discovery of Witches. ‌ Alex has made no secret of her love of Strictly as in 2019, she said: "Sarah Hadland and I talked about how much we'd like to do Strictly Come Dancing. Then I discovered she's a trained ballet dancer. 'Hang on a minute! That's not fair!' So, I can't do it on a season when she is on it!" It comes after a Strictly Come Dancing star pulls out of show as he makes career announcement. ‌ Away from screens, Alex has had her fair share of heartbreak. She met Oscar nominated actor Ralph Fiennes at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art back in 1983. They tied the knot a decade later, however their romance came to a disastrous end when Ralph fell for a woman 18 years his elder. Alex once: "We were like strangers – very fragile. ‌ "His mother was dying and somehow we thought the wedding was going to heal everything. But that was crazy, of course." In 1995, Ralph starred in Hamlet at Hackney Empire opposite Francesca Annis—who played Gertrude, his character's mother. Despite the age gap, their affair led to him leaving Alex and confessing his love for Francesca. Ralph, aged 32 at the time, embarked on a romance with Francesca, then 50. Francesca, who has three kids with photographer Patrick Wiseman, reportedly left him for the actor. Alex revealed the depth of her emotional struggle post-divorce to the Daily Mail, saying: "I was feeling worthless, that I would never find anyone else as good as my husband, which is ridiculous, but I had so little self-esteem. ‌ "Divorce is awful but it is also something I don't regret happening to me because it has shaped who I am now." Ralph and Francesca dated for 10 years between 1997 and 2006 and hit back at age gap concerns. "Of course I don't spend days agonising over the age difference. How can I? There is nothing I can do about it," she once said. "Ralph and I have been together ten years now so, whatever happens, we have had a very good, different relationship and an interesting time." ‌ Their relationship fell apart in the wake of a sensational affair allegation as Romanian singer Corneila Crisan claimed she had a two-year affair with Ralph. The next day, Fiennes and Francesca announced they were going their separate ways, as they said: "Miss Annis confirms today that she and Ralph Fiennes are to separate." Ralph's affair had a heartbreaking affect on Alex as she admitted to considering and nearly attempting suicide. She went on to marry German writer Florian Haertel and welcomed daughter Salome together in 2001. However, they split in 2009 with their divorce finalised four years later. Thankfully, Alex has found love again as she is now married to TV presenter Jonathan Stamp having wed in Italy in 2015.

Where to buy Pamela Anderson's pickles - as fans go wild for Baywatch star's new product after she addressed claims Meghan Markle 'ripped off' her cooking show

Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Pamela Anderson has launched a new pickle line that some say is eerily similar to Meghan Markle's lifestyle hamper - and it's on the verge of selling out. You can now get your hands on the 58-year-old former pin up star's 'tangy and herbaceous' line of pickles, aptly titled Pamela's Pickles, despite it displaying imagery clearly similar to the Duchess of Sussex 's As Ever brand. The Baywatch star's latest project is hot on the heels of claims that Meghan 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and that the Duchess modelled it after Pamela's Cooking With Love, which also premiered in March. Despite selling completely different food items, parts of the packaging are oddly similar - from the flowers embodied in the brine, to the stunning pink packaging and the same organic aesthetics As Ever is touting. If you'd like to see for yourself, we've now got the details on where you can purchase your own jar of Pamela's Pickles, as well as the price. Pamela's Pickles is available to shop directly from the bombshell's 'private harvest' at Los Angeles 's Flamingo Estate, and it retails for $38 for one 25 fl oz/ 709 ml jar. Flamingo Estate is a Los Angeles-based brand that promotes sustainable living through products inspired by wellness and nature. Situated in the hills of the golden state, specifically between the Eagle Rock and Highland Park neighborhoods, it was founded by stylist and creative Richard Christiansen in 2020. Flamingo Estate customers can subscribe to receive a 'curation' (that's a bouquet to you) of seasonal flowers for $125 a week. And even the Dalai Lama has been involved, personally blessing the brand's Sea Buckthorn body oil, which costs $60 for a small bottle but is 'hand-harvested high in the Himalayan valleys by a community of women who can sustain their family for a year from just one harvest', the brand's website boasts. If you're wondering why the wading bird property sounds familiar, you may recall that after moving to California in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared to become fans of Christiansen's farm shop brand, prominently displaying its glossy coffee-table books in their Montecito home. Reports claimed that Meghan was so bowled over by Flamingo Estate's vision that she actually wanted to partner with Christiansen and his boyfriend Aaron Harvey in business, however it never materialised. Well Pamela's Pickles differ in that all the money from the jars will support the California Wildlife Center, which works to help rescue, rehabilitate, and release animals - a cause near and dear to vegan Pamela's heart. It's also 'an award winning recipe that was passed down to her by her great-aunt Vie', the website promises. 'The delicious base is packed with Rose, Dill, Mustard, and Garlic - the perfect partner for the signature flavors of Flamingo Estate: Pink Peppercorns, Guajillo Chile, and smoky Sea Salt' it continued. With the seeming adversarial history behind it, one may wonder why Pamela has opted to partner her luxe pickles with the same place that Meghan once contemplated. But that's not for us to ponder, instead we'll show you where to purchase and taste a jar for yourself, as well as other goodies Pamela's currently selling. Pamela's Pickles Cleansing mousse Sonsie Cleansing Mousse Pamela Anderson dazzled the world when she announced that she was going make-up free in 2023 and subsequently launched her own line of skincare products. Sonsie Skin is described by the brand as 'minimal, mindful skincare', and one of its standout products is this cleansing mousse. The mousse intends to 'gently cleanse without over-drying, leaving behind soft skin'. And fans will love this - it's made with a subtle hint of rose inspired by the blooms in Pamela's garden. $32 Shop Hydrating serum Sonsie Super Serum This lush 'super serum' by Pamela Anderson works on dryness, dullness and redness, and can be used on normal, dry, combination and oily skin. It's especially best for anyone looking for a serum with a dewy finish. Grab a 50ml bottle for $68 directly from Sonsie. $64 Shop Moisture cream Sonsie Multi Moisture Cream Luxe meets moisture with this multifunctional cream by Sonsie. Described by the Baywatch babe's brand as a 'moisture multitasker', it promises long-lasting hydration and visibly healthy skin over time. It also smooths the appearance of fine lines and supports the skin barrier, all for $48. $48 Shop Lip balm Sonsie Basic Balm This $22 'basic balm' by Sonsie is sure to give other brands a run for their money. The vegan formula works to add volume to your lips over time, while also smoothing and maintaining hydration. If you're also seeking a lip product that leaves behind an unmissable shine, then look no further as Sonsie says their balm is 'almost like a gloss'. $22 Shop
