Jodie Foster photos

Despite the fact that Jodie Foster can hardly be called an avid fashionista, she managed to leave her mark in the fashion world and even become a trendsetter at some point. The role of an underage prostitute in Scorsese’s film Taxi Driver not only earned her her first Oscar nomination, but also made her a real star who introduced her own style and characteristic details. 14-year-old Foster in the film looked incredibly sensual and romantic: a provocative seductress, a hippie and a child, she captivated the audience with her charisma. By the way, even then the young star learned her main beauty rule, which she observes all her life: to thoroughly cleanse her face of cosmetics. “I have never returned home from filming with makeup,” says the actress. “My mother once told me:“ When the working day ends, you finish with work ”.

By the way, Jody uses this rule to this day. Perhaps this is why her skin is in perfect condition and without makeup.

It is impossible not to note the other side of the fame that suddenly fell on Jodie Foster in 1989: in those years, the maniac John Hinckley Jr. began to pursue the young actress. In March 1981, Hinckley Jr. attempted the assassination of Ronald Reagan, who was then President of the United States. He “dedicated” this crime to Jody, whom he began to pursue, falling in love with the heroine Foster from the movie “Taxi Driver”.

Of course, the actress did not think about any social life all this time: due to numerous threats, Jody even left her studies at the prestigious Yale University and left for the south of France. “Recently I looked at myself in the mirror and froze,” the actress shared her memories in an interview. – My body has not known sleep for a long time. I stopped taking care of clothes, on my legs – different socks, on my face – traces of fatigue, red eyes. I wear the same jeans for weeks and don’t comb my hair. When I wake up, I don’t understand where I am. ”

But Jody still managed to cope with serious psychological problems. And sports helped her in this. Having gained ten kilograms, she returns to the university, which she will brilliantly graduate in 1985. Jody is not looking for anyone’s friendship, and prefers the gym to classes in the library.

It was then that Foster became seriously interested in kickboxing (by the way, very popular now) and karate. The result is worth the effort: the actress not only recovers physically, but also begins to actively act again, and professional athletes can envy her figure. This tough training regime will remain in the life of the actress for many years – not a single morning of the Hollywood diva is complete without the obligatory 20 push-ups. Perhaps this approach became one of the secrets of the “ageless” Jody?

However, the ideal figure did not save Foster from the attacks of colleagues and journalists. The appearance of the actress at the Oscars in 1989 attracted increased attention. It’s all about Jody’s unusual appearance. In a strange dress with a bow, she looked more like a schoolgirl than an Oscar-winning film star. Unsurprisingly, she made it to the top of the underdressed stars of the ceremony. Foster still did not pay attention to her own appearance, the care of which she considered exclusively a matter of make-up artists and stylists. There are more important things in life than looking in the mirror, Jody told herself. “When you have a Yale honors degree and a successful acting career, you don’t want to look like a movie star 24 hours a day.”

The same thing happens a few years later, when in 1991 the actress won an Academy Award for the film The Silence of the Lambs. Foster once again ignores the established rules of the stellar dress code: Foster came to the ceremony in a modest dark blue outfit, with almost no makeup or hair styling. The actress still preferred to believe that an intelligent person could not be interested in these children’s toys – cosmetics, sexy clothes and playing “cute”.

And with all this, Jodie Foster manages to ignore the attacks of colleagues who consider her appearance sloppy. She feels equally confident without makeup and hair. Jody likes herself the way she is. And even when then Foster manages to find her style and look perfect, she will say that the most important thing is confidence and faith in herself, and not the opinions of the majority.

Recently, Jodie Foster has noticeably changed: the actress has found her own style. The film star changed the outfits of a housewife, who got out into the world, for elegant toilets. Suffice it to recall Foster’s appearance at a charity poker tournament in 2012. The thriller queen wore an elegant satin pencil skirt that accentuated her beautiful shape. Minimalistic makeup also looked very natural, so looking at Foster, we can say that in her fifties she looks better than many young stars. At the same time, according to the actress, who has never turned to plastic surgeons, she does nothing special with herself: the main care is day and night creams, sometimes massage.

Age does not scare Jodie at all, so she is not at all against the “age” roles. “I would like to age on film like Katharine Hepburn,” Foster once admitted. – And you know, it is much better when the actresses whisper behind her back: “Look, what a big nose she has!” Than: “How badly they made her nose!”

In August 2013, Foster amazed the audience again: for the Los Angeles premiere of Elysium, the actress chose a turquoise Roland Mouret dress, the strict cut of which perfectly emphasized Jodie’s thin waist and slender legs.

To achieve such ideal forms, despite the age of “over 50”, Foster is actively involved: the fitness program of the actress, in addition to simulators, includes karate, yoga, Pilates, step aerobics, kickboxing. Jody’s workout begins with a mandatory treadmill, and if there is no time for the gym, she is limited to an intense 20-minute exercise with mandatory push-ups from the floor (at least 20 times).

The actress does not go on diets, but adheres to the principles of separate nutrition (and fruits are separate from vegetables), tries to eat at the same time and chooses environmentally friendly products.

“I’m enjoying my age,” says Jodie Foster. “I’m not going back to my twenties for any money.” This age is full of fears and fears. And this is something that is not worth living with. Women at forty are definitely more interesting than at twenty. We lived longer, more confident in ourselves. There is no longer any point in pretending that you are on the ridge and in the know, to worry if you are cool. Being who you are is a huge advantage. “
