Jodie Foster gave a rare update about her two children to People during the 76th Annual Emmy Awards.
The legendary actor, who won her first Emmy last night for her role in True Detective: Night Country, shares sons Charlie, 26, and Kit, 22, with her ex, Cydney Bernard.
Foster admitted that both of her sons are “at that age where they’re starting their careers, and they’re pretty insecure about what’s gonna happen.” While Charlie has followed his mother into acting, Kit doesn’t share the same aspirations.
But despite the trying times of their 20s, Foster has found much to celebrate in her sons’ lives. “Every time they get a joy, like I got an ‘A’ or I got this job or I got an audition, my heart just fills up 14 times because I have this memory of a beautiful career that’s built on doing meaningful work, and I know that’s the recipe for happiness. So I’m just thrilled for them, for the future,” she marveled.
While Kit has kept his professional aspirations private within the family, Foster told More back in 2007 that Charlie has long voiced his desire to be in movies. “[He’ll say] ‘I want to be in movies. Why can’t you get me a job?’” the Oscar-winner recalled. “Then I say, ‘You have to earn that. If you want to be an actor, you can start by doing a little theater.’ Then he says, ‘I’m not interested in that. I just want to be famous and see my face.’”
Despite her talent running in the family, Foster told People that neither Charlie nor Kit have much desire to watch their mom’s work. “They have no interest in watching my movies with me,” she admitted. “I think they’re going to catch True Detective, ’cause they’re really into that. And yeah, there’s a few films that I would never show them because I would be worried about being teased.”
