Meanwhile, Moreno stars in her new movie 80 for Brady, teaming up with costars Jane FondaSally Field and Lily Tomlin as their characters embark on a trip to see Tom Brady play in the 2017 Super Bowl, the year the now-retired quarterback led the New England Patriots to a victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

During the 80 for Brady cast's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the movie in January, Moreno discussed a scene in the movie in which she "got turned on."

"I simply want to say that my favorite scene in the movie takes place in the locker room where the guys are," Moreno told host Jimmy Kimmel. "You know, [Rob Gronkowski], all these guys."

"I entered the room, and it's a real locker room, and I swear to God, like, in seconds I got turned on," she continued, making Kimmel, 55, and his audience laugh.

"You're saying a room full of naked men excited you for some reason?" Kimmel asked.

"Not only excited me, I kept grabbing myself," she added, this time making her costars laugh too. "I kept saying to myself, 'What is wrong with you? You are 90!' I'm 91 now. ... Then I thought, 'There's nothing wrong with that.' "
