But for his latest role, he appears in just a silk robe and a piece of jewelry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Fonzie&#8221; Is Going the &#8220;Full Monty&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 80-year-old Winkler discussed his lack of wardrobe on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 13. He appears in the third season of Apple TV&#8217;s Loot, starring Maya Rudolph, as billionaire Gerald Canning. His episode premiered late last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maya Rudolph is one of my favorites. She is a brilliant, brilliant person and a lovely person,&#8221; he shared. &#8220;So when she asked me to be on the first episode, I didn&#8217;t even ask to read the script.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Winkler went in for a costume fitting, the first thing he tried on was a silk robe that went to his thighs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was nothing else,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;That was it.

I was in shock.
