The first thing you noticed about Jodie Foster is how accomplished she is as an actor. Then, after a few interviews, you realise that she is so accomplished because she is deeply thoughtful about everything. I'm glad she mentioned about acting in her 70s when she gets there because that will be something to look forward to. I just hope I'm still around to see her.

Jodie has been my favourite actor since we were both children. Wonderful, articulate, witty warm and kind human being, and a phenomenal actor.

I love the loving, respectful way she discusses her mother’s illness - this incredible woman who obviously did a wonderful job raising Jodie Foster. Very few child actors have such long, distinguished, successful careers…..or mature into such wonderful adults.

Nothing but pure class in every aspect, in front of the camera, behind the camera and in life in general. One of the best examples of how to be a fine human being.

Never a bad performance. Even from such a young age. A natural.

I’ve always found her stunning and her intelligence is even more attractive. And that voice….

I LOVE Jodie Foster, she is just the most wonderful soul, love what she said about her Mom, what a special human being....

"You must have a unique perspective on Hollywood" - "Yeah, I'm bored!" Lol!

She's part of why Taxi Driver is a classic. No other actress of her age could have been better in that role. (Loved 'The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane'.)

I respect Jodie so much more than any other celebrity on the planet. She appears to be a wonderful, wonderful person on every level.

This is one of the first appearances by Jodie Foster I've seen where she is so warm, open, and relatable. She's an accomplished, intelligent woman and has a lot to say after more than five decades in show business that's insightful and well worth hearing.

She apparently completely grew up since the age of three in front of the cameras and is such a genuine human being. Fantastic to see and she's a grest actress. Props to Jonathan Ross as well!

I never get tired of listening to amazing Jodie Foster,.in a league of her own.

She hosted Saturday Night Live at age 14 & her poise/demeanor hasn’t changed a bit. Even keel & unphased, regardless of the situation. That’s quite an asset in life.

Great actress. Glad Jonathan mentioned her early work with Disney. Candleshoe with David Niven was so much fun

The career of Jodie Foster is a lesson, how a level-headed, talented, smart person can thrive in something as evil as the entertainment business, despite starting her career as a toddler. She's is the greatest actor ever.

I just started taking care of my mother w alzhemer, dementia. I needed to hear those words today about Jodi and her mother. Ty

Besides her obvious intelligence, integrity and sensitivity let's not forget she's also a Yale University graduate! A very smart accomplished woman who has stuck true to her identity and values throughout her Hollywood exposure. And she was never caught up in the ego personality quest of stardom. In fact I think she really has disliked it and it has kept her more low profile in her later years, especially after the infamous stalking incident that caused a lot of damage to other people.

I am 79 with 5 grown children, 4 men and one daughter and Jody gives me something wonderful to give me something to really look forward to in our very near future.

Jodie Foster is beautiful

I have ALWAYS loved Jodie Foster❤. She's such a natural! A very rare&talented actor who always keeps it real.👏👍

CONTACT... my favourite movie ever....

Jodie and I were born the same year and I have enjoyed her career for most of my life and it is very refreshing, but not at all surprising really, to see her unafraid to age and looking forward to getting the great parts when she is in her 70's and wrinkled! Love her so much!

Jodie Foster referring to Robert DeNiro as an "empty book"...Pure Gold!! I could elaborate, but I won't. She nailed it.

I also love listening to her speak fluent French in interviews.

I could not agree more on her last comment… it’s a gift

I just love Jodie! Enormous respect for her!

Wow. She said many deep and well put ideas about her life. But the last bit was absolutely profound, and he cut her off so inappropriately. No Johnny Carson there. Thank you Jody for speaking about a moment or time of awakening. And how women feel. And for all of your works. 🙏🏻

I loved how she defended mel gibson and even gave him a job when he needed. a true loyal friend.

Yes Jody, when you are the last face your mom see’s it truly is a gift and I will never forget it nor take it for granted. 😔

She is great. Wonderful actor

Love Jodie. Mostly love she seems to love acting and never bought into Hollywood antics. Wish we had more like her.

So likable and in the moment. It's rare in TV talk show appearances.

My all time favorite actress: Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday, Taxi Driver, Stealing Home, Foxes, Accused, Silence of the lambs, Nell, Contact, The brave one, Carnage, the Mauritanian, Nyad and now True Detectice....all top notch films and performances, highly intelligent, director, writer, mother of 2... Female Icon of Hollywood❤

I thought Jodie was just meh/blah UNTIL this interview. Such insight and intellect! Such joy! Such honesty! And what a perspective on life and illness. And that laugh is adorable!!!

Always been a fan of her. A real human, in opposed to some other "stars" from Hollywood.

What a delightful woman!

Back in the late 90s I almost went into a fight because of her. Not her fault lol. University student and was watching Contact in a small room with other students. I had already seen the movie and enjoyed it very much, also a fan of Jodie Foster. Two other students behind me, especially one of them, were making fun of the movie and of Jodie in particular. It was annoying partly because who wants to hear someone talking during a screening, but also because he was actively making fun of her. For some reason that pissed me off more than I had ever before in similar situations, or since. I stood up and moved towards him and threatened him. He said that they will meet me outside when the movie ends. He (they) never came. I always had a soft spot for her as an actor and I guess even more in that movie which was the perfect storm. I love her, sci-fi, Carl Sagan, that movie. I am glad it didn't end up in an actual fight, that would have been stupid. I still don't regret my reaction.

What a wonderful being and incredible actress in one person. Very rare category of humans especially in Hollywood 😅

What a cool person. Really seems "real", true, and down to earth. Have always been a fan.

Absolute LEGEND!

She’s wonderful. ❤

Hello Jodie, That was a masterpiece "silence of the lambs".

The first movie I saw that she starred in was “The Little Girl that lives down the Lane”

De Niro reminds me of non-dualist Gary Weber. He trained his mind through thousands of hours of meditation to completely stop the "blah blah," or running dialogue we all have running through our minds. De Niro often has that same blank expression on his face when not being engaged that Weber has. I just think that De Niro comes to it more naturally. Their minds are drawn to stillness, rather than activity.

Beautiful and smart 👍👍

I love Jodie ❤ she hasn’t changed since she started.

If you want to get DeNiro talking, just ask him what he thinks of Donald Trump. That's 30 minutes taken care of.

She seems really lovely!

I’m glad I was the audience of the highest era of her career. Although, it’s always the highest era of her career.

Great director too!

Smart lady... enjoyable

Looking forward to seeing her in the new movie Nyad. About Diana Nyad played by Annette Benning 🙌

I have been watching black mirror not encountered this episode yet one to look forward to.

Incredible lady 👏🏾 ❤️ xxx

I could listen to Jodie talk all day. She's so intelligent and insightful. A class act. She was born 21 days after me! :-)

Good interview. I agree with Jonathan - no matter how big or small the part, there's no doubt that Jodie Foster's time in a movie will be one of the best parts. A couple of her movies are some of my favorites, and when I did a little search of her while watching this, she's got very many great movies. It's actually nice to see someone who started as a child, get to this level and not crashed and burned. Her mom deserves a lot of credit. Too many of these Hollywood parents pushed there kids into it for the money, and didn't seem to care about the bad side of it.

Absolutely love Jodie... she's an awesome gal.

9:40 epic detail. so sorry for you JF for the bad health of your mum..... you are strong & keep keeping strong...

Incredible! Luv you, Jodie!

Incredibly smart. Very savvy.

Vote Jodie for President of America!

Thanks for this! #TheJonathanRossShow #JodieFoster

One of my fav's

I just watched Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore last night. Very good movie.😊

Jodie Foster is one of my favorites! ❤️

Really looking forward to True Detective!

Simply The best representation of a woman

One of my favourite actors ever. Class act in every respect.

Proper star.

Just finished watching True Detective Night Country.... she was marvellous ❤

Thanks Wosso!

I still love Jodie. Been a fan since she was a kid.

First film I watched her in was Candle shoe my dad took me to watch the film twice I've loved her movies ever since.

Freaky Friday!!!! Classic fave of mine

A consistently charming guest. Quite a talented bright lady

Bugsy Malone!! Can't believe he gave that a shout-out, sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who remembers that wonderful film.

Loving you all wearing poppies in this video!❤

“I was not available”, very cheeky

Jodie Foster is so intelligent and thoughtful and interesting. I loved her response to the sexual harassment question. Most women in any industry have experienced (at least some of) that kind of behavior. Jonathan Ross didn’t seem to want to actually talk about it at all.

She's quite intelligent. Probably has a very high IQ. She graduated from Yale University. I was living in New Haven when she attended Yale. I went to see a movie on Campus once, and there she was sitting in front of me, down a bit, but having a good time with her friends. She took a break from acting to go to school. That's admirable !!

Why is it that whenever i see a clip of a big Hollywood star on either J Ross or G Norton or whatever they're always sat next to David fuckin Walliams.

What a awesome lady so much talent it’s unbelievable

Great Actress and a great Person!

A beautiful amazing actress.

Icon.

Love Jodie such a natural actress one of my heroes 😊

Hi, new subscriber here 😁 I absolutely love Jodie Foster, and what a wonderful interview 😍🤩🍿🎥✨

such a cool person

Loved her in the movie Carnage!

I predict somebody is going to write an immaculate script that will catch Jodies attention, she does the movie, knocks it out of the park, wins the Oscar and reaffirms, yet again, just how baddass she is as an actress.

Beautiful Jody Foster!! Incredible! Massive 🫂 hug from me! Highest respect 🙏🏿 Sifu Len Jackson Maroon Fist Association

The little girl who lived down the lane has grown up and done very well. Good for her.

I wouldn’t be so sure about De Niro being an “ empty book”. On the set I’ve heard that he has incredible concentration and focus on the task at hand and she, being very professional and talented, but also a curious thirteen year old ,probably wanted to ask questions and chew the fat with him.

Jodie, You are the BEST!

wonderful woman

Jodie is adorable.x

Love HER!!

Smart lovely woman ❤
