Jodie recently revealed on the US talk show “The View” that she hadn’t told her two sons about her career for a long time because: “I wanted them to know me as their mother and the person who goes to work and like that. I just didn’t want them to be confused about what I do for a living.” Nevertheless, Jodie Foster recently revealed in an interview with BUNTE.de that her time in front of the camera also influenced her privately.

Privately, however, the mother of two cannot imagine a career as a detective, as she made it clear to BUNTE.de: “I might not necessarily be bad at it, but unfortunately I am very far-sighted. I don’t see or notice anything in my immediate surroundings.” Nevertheless, Jodie Foster seems to have taken a liking to the horror and thriller genre, because in “The Silence of the Lambs” she also felt like the cannibalistic serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter (played by Anthony Hopkins, 86) to the test. Jodie smiled and revealed what particularly appeals to her about psychodramas: “Seeing people’s brokenness and exploring their problems is always exciting. I can never get enough of it!”
