Couldn't even talk about it with him...

According to Jane Fonda, Michael Jackson was terrified of his own death.

Jane Fonda appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight where she talked about the late King of Pop.

First she said that visiting her ranch was what made him decide to buy Neverland. She said: "I had a ranch in Santa Barbara. And he came and visited me once. And I was walking him around. It's how he was introduced to that area -- where he eventually bought Neverland -- is when I had him to my ranch."

At the time, he had been visiting the set of On Golden Pond. She continued: "He came and he wanted to watch my father and Katharine Hepburn work. He was interested in becoming a movie actor."

When she mentioned that she had a spot on the ranch where she wanted to be buried, he freaked out.

She added: "I thought he was going to have a meltdown. The notion that I could countenance the fact that I was going to die was anathema to him. He just -- he screamed. He talked about how he would get into an oxygen tank and he thought that was going to keep him, you know, alive forever. It's hard to imagine that someone that was as tormented as he was, you know, could have sort of lived a long and peaceful and natural life."
