Jodie Foster has some things to say about Generation Z.
The Oscar winner, 61, who recently claimed Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese were 'scared' of her when they worked on Taxi Driver, said working with young actors can sometimes be frustrating.
“They're really annoying, especially in the workplace,” Foster said The guard jokingly.
'They say, “No, I don't feel like it today, I'll come in at 10:30.” Or in emails I say to them, “This is all grammatically incorrect, haven't you checked?” your spelling?” And they say, “Why would I do that, isn't that a restriction?”
When asked what she thought young actors needed to know, the actress, who is known for her mentoring efforts, said, “They need to learn how to relax, how to not think about it so much, how to come up with something that's theirs is. she declared

“I can help them find that, which is so much more fun than, with all the pressure behind it, being the main character of the story.”
Jodie is one of the main characters in season four of the HBO/MAX series True Detective: Night Country, starring as the police chief of the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska in the crime drama.
Another example of her mentorship was by asking Bella Ramsey, a non-binary star, to introduce her at the Elle Magazine Women in Hollywood celebration in November.
“I reached out to Bella because we had never met before,” she explained.
“I want you to introduce me to this,” she told The Last of Us star.
The actress, who has received Critics Choice and Golden Globe nominations for her role in Nyad, described the gathering as “a wonderful event about actors and people in the movies, but it is also very much a fashion affair.” That means it determines who represents us.”
For the event, Bella showed up in a charcoal double-breasted suit with a blue and white button-down and black shoes and no makeup.
Jodie praised the Game of Thrones star as a “vector of authenticity” while the rest of the audience “wore heels and eyelashes.”

The mother of two sons, whom she shares with former partner Cydney Bernard, and co-parents with wife Alexandra Hedison, revealed she faced gender stereotypes in her own family. “There was a moment with my oldest when he was in high school when, because he was raised by two women — three women — it was like he was trying to figure out what it was to be a boy,” said she.
The then-teenager turned to the media for ideas. 'He was watching TV and decided, 'Oh, I just have to be an asshole. I understand. I have to be shy around women and pretend to be an asshole.' '
'And I thought, “No. That's not what it is to be a man! That's what our culture has sold you on all this time.”'
True Detective: Night Country airs January 14 on HBO and its streaming service MAX.
