During a long interview with the Guardian as part of the promotion of True Detective, Jodie Foster spoke about Generation Z. In her words, these young people born between 1997 and 2010 “are annoying, especially in work. They say things like, “No, I’m not feeling well today, I’ll come at 10:30.” In emails, for example, I tell them “this is all grammatically incorrect, you didn’t check your spelling”. And they say something like: “Why would I do that, isn’t it a bit restrictive?”
The actress, mother of two boys in their twenties, also gives some advice to the younger generation working in cinema: “They need to learn to relax, not to think too much, to find something that resembles them. I can help them find that, which is much more fun than being, with all the pressure that entails, the hero of the story, she assures. I often reach out to young actresses.” And the actress talks about her meeting with Bella Ramsay (Game of Thrones) at the annual event organized by ELLE magazine in Hollywood, at the beginning of December. “(The event organizers) are very proud of themselves because they brought all the ethnicities together, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, but everyone still wears heels and false eyelashes.’ “There are other ways to be a woman,” she assures, “and it’s really important that people see that. And Bella, who gave the best speech, wore the most perfect suit, beautifully tailored, with a middle part and no makeup.
Former child star revealed by her role in Taxi Driver in 1976, Jodie Foster was recently seen in Nyad on Netflix, with Annette Benning.
