In a recent YouTube interview, acclaimed actress Kate Winslet shared an endearing story about her admiration for fellow actress Jodie Foster. Winslet reminisced about their collaboration in a 2010 film and expressed how much Foster has influenced her career.

“Every time I see Jodie Foster in anything, I am first of all reminded how lucky I am to have worked with her,” Winslet began, referring to their work together in 2010. Winslet revealed that Foster was a major inspiration for her career, stating, “She was the reason I realized it was possible to become an actress. I remember seeing her as a child performer and thinking, ‘Oh, that’s a thing that can actually happen,’ and there’s someone who’s already doing it.”

Winslet’s admiration for Foster extends beyond professional respect; she genuinely cherishes the time they spent together. “She has been my inspiration all my life, and I love her,” Winslet said, adding with a smile, “She’s so much fun, great, no fuss. She’s great. I love her.”

Winslet also shared that she often expresses her admiration directly to Foster, which tends to embarrass the modest actress. “I tell her all the time, and she gets embarrassed and goes red,” Winslet recounted with a laugh.

This heartfelt tribute highlights the mutual respect and affection between these two Hollywood icons, showcasing the lasting impact of Foster’s pioneering career on her peers.
