Jodie Foster wanted to remind us that there are no barriers inherent to old age: “There is something that happens at a certain age that makes you not care!”, she explains, before 'add, perceptively: “I had my moment of glory, but I am aware that today, it is the turn of others.
My career now consists of supporting the new generation.
It's so much more fun not to be in the center anymore."
It is true that after half a century of career, Jodie Foster knows she is less in demand than before, and it is not a question of age according to her, simply that new talents are emerging.
From now on, the one who received the Oscar for best actress in 1988 for
The Accused
, has complete freedom to choose the roles that speak to her the most: “Those who are worth investing in are not common in the streets, so I prefer to say no.
I still receive quite a few offers, but still fewer than before because I am now part of the old people's club,” she reveals, wisely.
Starring since last January in the fourth season of the hit series
True Detective
, Jodie Foster plays an unwavering inspector in Alaska.
When fiction and reality come together, fearlessness is the common denominator.
