Jodie Foster shares rare advice to help young actors select best scripts

Jodie Smith recently shared what she thinks of the younger generation of actors.

In a new chat with Variety, Jodie shared her two cents on the work ethics of young actors, who seemingly have zero sense of what scripts are bad.

Claiming that she used to be picky about her projects, Jodie claimed that she loved acting and that she wasn’t interested in “acting for the sake of acting”.

“I see a lot of young actors, and I’m not saying I’m jealous, but I don’t understand how they just want to act,”

In addition to this, the 62-year-old actress pointed out that these young actors “don’t care if the movie’s bad.”

“They don’t care if the dialogue is bad. They don’t care if they’re a grape in a Fruit of the Loom ad,” she remarked.

Asserting her high standards for script selection, Jodie told the outlet, “If I never acted again, I wouldn’t really care. I really like to be a vessel for story or cinema.”

“If I could do something else, if I was a writer or a painter or sculptor, that would be good too. But this is the only skill I have,” The Mauritanian actress concluded.
