Jodie Foster Goes After Generation Z

In a scathing takedown of young performers, the 61-year-old Academy Award winner called many of her Generation Z coworkers “really annoying” and lampooned their inability to focus on work or pay attention to fine details.

While Jodie Foster chose not to reveal any specific names in her interview, the actress expressed that Gen Z has produced a number of actors she finds highly difficult to work alongside.

Specifically, Foster referenced a general lack of standards regarding waking up early and showing up on time, jesting that her young co-stars would show up to set at 10:30 in the morning.

Additionally, the True Detective star claims that she frequently receives email correspondence from her younger compatriots loaded with spelling and grammar mistakes.

Jodie Foster has an extensive career in film and television, with nearly 100 IMDb credits dating back to 1969.

If anyone is qualified to lampoon a new generation of working actors, it’s likely the woman who got her start at the age of seven, and has worked alongside several generations of artists over five decades.

However, Foster deviated from her frustrated comments to highlight one young performer whom she perceives to exhibit exceptional class and maturity.

The performer in question is 20-year-old Bella Ramsay, who recently made a splash as Ellie in HBO’s The Last Of Us.

Jodie Foster explained that she had made a concerted effort to sit and speak with Ramsay after the pair met at an Elle magazine Women in Hollywood celebration last November.

Apparently, one element of Ramsay’s style that caught Foster’s eye is the non-binary performer’s penchant for a natural look.

Jodie Foster, who came out as a lesbian in 2013, has spent a large portion of her career challenging gender roles and stereotypes, leading her to appreciate the lack of makeup and high heels on display in Bella Ramsay’s ensemble.

Foster even hailed the Game of Thrones actor for giving the best speech at the event, putting her education and class on full display for all young performers to see.

Jodie Foster went on to state in her interview that her own son had been poisoned by the pervasive gender stereotypes pushed by modern media, which inspired him to believe that being rude to women to assert dominance was a natural part of manhood.

Obviously, many talented performers from all walks of life can create great art, regardless of their generational title.

Jodie Foster recognizes that her issues with young people are not solely due to their age, as she respects and admires artists like Bella Ramsay.

However, the pervasive media environment has led to the popularity of damaging figures such as Andrew Tate in recent years, which has led to a staggering rise in negative thought amongst young crowds.
