Jodie Foster is feeling excited about her sons’ future despite their insecurities. The Emmy award-winning actress shared that her sons, Charlie and Kit, are just beginning their careers, and she is there to support them every step of the way. Foster expressed how happy she feels every time her sons achieve something, like getting a good grade or landing a job, as she believes that meaningful work is the key to happiness.
Foster, who shares her sons with ex-wife Cydney Bernard, recently opened up about her parenting style on The View. She revealed that she chose not to tell her kids about her acting career when they were younger because she wanted them to see her as their mom first, not as a famous actress. In a funny anecdote, Foster shared how her older son once thought she was a construction worker when she brought him to set and bought him a toy tool belt.
Now that her sons are grown up, Foster mentioned that they are not very interested in watching her movies with her. However, she believes they might watch her in True Detective, as they are fans of the show. Foster also admitted that there are some movies of hers, like Nell, that she would never show her sons because she is afraid of being teased, even though they have never seen the film.
Overall, Foster is thrilled for her sons’ future and is excited to see what paths they will choose to pursue in their careers. She believes that supporting them in doing meaningful work will lead them to happiness. Despite their insecurities, Foster’s unconditional love and encouragement will guide her sons through the beginnings of their professional journeys.
