As a child actor, Jodie Foster’s mother told her she would never work past the age of 40. But with ‘Nyad’ and ‘True Detective’ the Oscar winner has never been busier.

All these recent interviews really show a more loose and relaxed Jodie, than she ever did before, she's definitely enjoying her life as a 60yr old
Jodie really started to chill out over the past decade or so, even allowing people into her private life in a way she NEVER did before. When she kissed her wife on live TV after winning the Golden Globe in 2021 -- that was something she NEVER would have done in her younger years. I do think the whole John Hinckley affair when she was in college made her very, very cautious about guarding her personal life, but maybe in recent years she has finally felt she can let a lot of that go.
I agree. She's letting go and being who she is.
The fact that she has survived intact in this crazy industry since the age of three is nothing short of a miracle thanks to her mother and Jodie herself.....
Jodie Foster is SO BEAUTIFUL! My God! What an acting Goddess! 🤩
💯 agreed! Jodie Foster is everything. I fell in love with her artistry watching Contact as a child. She's just so captivating on screen. You're locked in whenever she's on.
I really appreciate her positivity and message of hope about aging. She's a great example of living your best life after 60.
Isn't she wonderful ❤️ 😍
She deserves good roles forever.
@@jm7804agreed. And I'm 63
I’m glad that she’s still acting! Can’t wait to see her in True Detective 👍
Yes! Looks so good!
Me too. It'll bring the series back to the quality of the first season.
also waiting it is going to be the best one since the 1st
She looks fantastic and natural. I don’t have any issues if someone wants to have plastic surgery but it is refreshing to see an actor embrace aging and she has aged beautifully
Здесь пишут какие-то странные комментарии...., ((разве она постарела??? Она разве постарела?? вы что??? она выглядит на 40 лет!!!!!!
They would be FOOLS to not give Jodie jobs. She’s an AMAZING actress
Kudos to Jodie for being a real woman! She doesn’t cover what aging has given her…..which is her natural beauty. Stunning!
Jodie - demonstrating how to grow old beautifully and gracefully. 🏆🏆
I think she needs to give herself a round of applause for her acting longevity itself. She has all the credentials of a top actress and as an exceptional individual. She is also drop dead gorgeous and genuine/sincere 👌🥇👍
A real Hollywood Icon.
She has a youthful smile paired with elderly wisdom. Good look on her. Love Jodie!
I didn't think I could love Jodie Foster more, but after seeing this...
Who cares if she's beautiful or not? It's exhausting to keep bringing people back to beauty, as if that validates them or not. 💀
Above all, Jodie Foster is a very inventive and refreshing actress, and someone who seems very intelligent. And THAT is important. 👍🏼
Every time I see Jodie Foster being interviewed, I find her observations very interesting. One interview which stands out was when she was asked if she had ever had a "Me Too" moment. Luckily she hadn't, since her mother wasn't a pushy stage mother like too many others, but actually cared about her child's well-being. Even though Jodie didn't mention Harvey Weinstein by name, I knew that was who she was referring to with the words "pig in a bathrobe."
Here here!
Well, this is leftist Hollywood.
There is nothing wrong with calling her beautiful….no one said it was her most important attribute. And calling someone beautiful, by the way, can also refer to their essence..personality and humanity, too. Why such pushback over calling someone beautiful? Gee whiz.
Thank you! Yes!
She looks incredible. And I think she's right -- a lot of actresses seem to get "thrown out" in a sense in their 40s and 50s, but then can come back strong in their 60s and beyond playing really interesting roles in the "crone" phase (and I mean that in a complimentary way). I was just (re)watching Judi Dench in Notes on a Scandal the other night, and, man, she KILLED in that role and was over 70 when she played it. Left the much younger Cate Blanchette in the dust. Older age can be SUCH an interesting time for women.
I totally agree with you, an actress with certain age is more mature and can play deeply. Although I don't agree with the part of Judi Dench leaving Cate Blanchett in dust. I think both of them were terrific. Very underrated movie.
It's sad how women 40-60 are treated. You're either the hot one in hollywood or the old grandma, we don't see the in between phase as often
Agreed! Both did a marvelous job in the movie.
Older women should have their later relationships with other women.
@@casckettfriki I like Cate Blanchett, but she sometimes chews the scenery/overacts. Judi Dench was perfectly believable in every scene. Blanchett was clearly ACTING in some scenes. It's OK -- Judi has a lot of years on her!
This is one of our FINEST actresses. It's a near crime that the film industry does not feature her and value her along with the likes of Cate Blanchett, Julie Dench, etc.
Perhaps it's that regular American kid quality she has that leads to her being underappreciated. I think it only makes her more disarming and effective. This is why her performance was so devastating in the Accused. She's one of us.
She's done pretty well for herself overall, even won a Golden Globe for her performance in The Mauritanian. But she did start to do a lot more directing than acting when she was in her mid-30s, so some of her lesser screen time seems to have been a choice.
I think it's honestly just more her own choice tbh. Like clearly she's been more selective with her acting roles and prioritized directing for a while. And look at her now. As soon as she dips her toe back into acting, she kills it on True Detective and gets an Oscar nomination.
What has always shon through for me, even though I’ve never met her in person, is her natural innate warm kind-heartedness. A beautiful decent lady both inside and out, and needless to say hugely talented
She's right, the 60s are an amazing decade for women if you're not trying to make it like the 40s and 50s. Very freeing!
the scorpio description HAHAHA
I saw her as Becky thatcher as a little boy. Had such a crush on her. One of my first movies. So happy she’s still working!! Legend!
I love Jodie Foster.
Incredibly skilled actress.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
She surpasses all other actresses. Can't wait to see her in more movies....💖
Yes indeed. 60 was the beginning of my blossoming. 83 today and still going. Jodie is #1.
Jodi's aged so gracefully and is still incredibly beautiful. Tremendous actress and i really admire her intelligence & grounded personality compared to most actors in Hollywood.
She's so amazing. I've always been so intimidated by her, yet in interviews she is so personable and down to earth. She's such a unique, powerful standout with that combination of power yet emotional accessibility.
Well good for her. She's an amazing actress and she seems like an incredible person.
It also helps that times are changing. Even 10 years ago, during actresses roundtables, you’d hear (and we could see) how the good roles were written for men; and female roles were a second thought, just to support the male lead, how writers wouldn’t write a decent female role-usually.
Now there’s more women out there directing, writing and producing, therefore creating good roles for women of all ages. Better roles are more abundant now than ever before. In the past it was slim pickings and surely, there was a discrimination against age. Actresses in their 30s would be playing the mother to an actor also in his 30s. An actor in his 50s would be paired with an actress in her 20s. Times are changing and allowing talented women like Jodie Foster and Annette Bening to continue to delight us with their talent, and I’m glad.
I wish you guys would have an unedited version of this interview.
omg yes.. the cuts are horrible..
Me too!!
I'm so happy she's making a bit of a comeback. Of course, she's a legend and icon her doesn't need a comeback. She's been acting since she was a kid, and she comes back whenever she sees some good quality roles. It feels great to see her on the screen again. She's a phenomenal actress. I hope she'll get the Oscar nomination for Nyad, and I can't wait to see her in the new season of the 'True Detective.'
Jodie foster is an icon, a legend and a moment forever
There is something so calm and pleasant about Jodie Foster. She's also loyal, unwilling to throw friends under the bus just because the mob demands it. That takes integrity and speaks of who she is as a person beyond just her creative talents.
One of the most amazing iconic actors of our generation ❤
I adore this woman. It is so great to see her again. The first episode of True Detective was awesome.
Always liked her. Intellect, humility, and true talent. Rare in Hollywood. Or anywhere for that matter.
She’s right about that! After 60, the things that used to matter, don’t really matter anymore.
Jodie, I'm 55 and my world feels more complete when you're in it! So happy to see your beautiful face again! xoxo
And Nyad was so great, loved it.
GREAT actress!!!. Very intelligent.👏👏👏
Always loved her, always will! She is the BEST and most intelligent actress out there! Such a marvelous and strong woman! 💪
❤️A German fan! 🇩🇪
“Nyad” was so great! I hope everyone gives it a try!
She is the GOAT 🐐
Awesome Interview! Thanks J. 👏👏👏
An absolute icon!
To this day, my all time favorite actress.
I had crushes on you my whole life….still. I’m same age. You have brought me joy and inspiration through your craft and professionalism. Thank you for you for sharing your talent and craft. Thanks for finally coming out. And yes, 60s are pretty awesome! Also, y’all did an amazing job for Nyad. I remeber the actual events and recall how I was effected. I could go on…but I probably need to stop, lol. I wish you all the happiness in your current relationship and life!
What a delight. She elevates anything she’s in.
She never gave me Scorpio vibes. 😂 Love Jodie Foster. Always been so charming and intelligent. Can't wait for True Detective.
Thanks for this! 💎 I adore her... and I loved NYAD (2023).
A remarkable talent, and it seems, a nice person as well. I've liked her ever since she was a kid!
She looks amazing. Radiant.
I'm only 36 seconds in and the interviewer talking under Jodie in the background is very very distracting.
Right?!
I think its because of the editing
She's more silenced after that. Get it? Silence of the... nevermind, I'll let myself out.
Jodie is one of my favorite actors. We are the same age and I have been a fan since her Disney days.
I’m so happy Jodie’s happy! That’s really fabulous news! ☺️ So nice to see her! ❤️
My hero, my favorite actress. Thank you for so much Jodie.
Icon Icon Icon. Nyad was amazing. About to rewatch Silence of the Lambs ❤
WOW! This is aging gracefully. What a beautiful woman. Talented, intelligent, interesting and real. Keep going Jodie! Class act.
This woman is the embodiment of exquisite! Beautiful, strong, wholesome, character...I love everything she's done, and can't wait to see what's more she brings to life!
Thanks Ms Foster! Love hearing these insights
Incredible actress. Great to see her doing new projects.
Thank you for your activities❤
Jodie Foster is more gorgeous now than ever ! She´s such a wonderful actress !! I m glad she´s back in the limelight where she belongs. She´s a real Star !
I have always and will forever love everything about Jodie Foster.
I love love LOVE The silence of the lambs!
Just loved the movie! You and Annette were excellent!
Nyad IS an Amazing movie!! So inspiring
It’s true. She is more physically beautiful now than ever.
If Jodie Foster loves horror and supernatural things, I would love to see her make a cameo in the screen adaption of Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. There is a brief mention in the book that a masked person attending a party could be Jodie Foster.
She has always been one of myfavorites
Cannot wait for True Detective ❤
Been watching Jodie since i was a child, i dont really do tense tv but for Jodie i will 😊❤
Beautiful talented Jodie 😍 thanks for sharing your talents with us and giving us a lifetime of great entertainment.
I have not seen many of her movies but, what I have seen were brilliant.
Have you seen "The Brave One"? Jodie is just brilliant as a victim of crime turned vigilante.
Jodie has been giving great performnces since she was a child and blossomed in tthe 80's and 90's become a box office star two time Oscar winner and beloved by many,she's amazing in Nyad so relaxed and joyful totally opposite to her performance in The Mauritanian which should have netted her an Oscar nod,let's hope Nyad does.
I’m 60 too Jodie, I’ve watched your whole life as an actress. I wish we could have met. Just in case you see this.
Class class class..... a brilliant mind and an immense Talent....

We LOVE you Jody. And yes - 60 is great!❤😊🎉
Thank you for being real. ❤❤I am getting friendly with my wrinkles and just say no to fillers and Botox.❤❤❤❤❤
Her performance in "Contact" was extraordinary. She (and even Jena Malone) was perfect as "Ellie Arroway".
🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
I just love her!
The best thing about having Jodi Foster back front and center in our lives is watching her being able to be her True Self!!!
Jodi is Hollywood royalty.
Brilliant
Those jeweled, feline eyes. stunning beauty. Child prodigy. Love Jodi.
She was amazing in NYAD.
The thumbnail for this giving me Charlotte Rampling and I'm not mad at it. Long may JF continue to inspire and entertain us all. She has achieved so much in her career, achieving lifelong goals of many actors while still in her 20s.
❤ her!
Truly the best
Beautiful soul inside and out
I agree, 60s is magic!
wow , sage advice , Jodie a wonder woman...

Silence of the Lambs and Nell are definitely my favorites of hers.

We love you Jodie! 💕💕💕
