Most of the time, we just have to imagine which celebs might have skinny-dipped during an on-location adventure. But now, we have it straight from the source!

During a Tuesday appearance on "The Ellen Show," Jane Fonda shared a legendary story about skinny-dipping with Michael Jackson.

"He was visiting me when we were shooting 'On Golden Pond' and I had a little cabin on the lake," said the actress. "He stayed with me for about eight days and one night it was a full moon and he said, 'Let's go swimming!'"

Fonda added, "It was his idea!"

Fonda previously opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about the time Jackson came to stay with her on the set of "On Golden Pond" in the 1980s. The two swam and Jackson also got to know Katharine Hepburn.

"[Jackson] wanted to be a movie star," she continued. "Every day I would bring him to the set, and in between scenes [Hepburn] would sit down in a chair and pull over a chair for him and tell him stories."
