Jodie tu es la plus merveilleuse de toutes les françaises❤
It amazes me and somewhat reassures me that she feels nervous when she acts in french, when her french is undistinguishable from mine
Stephen has been abusing me since I was 9 years old. I have Tourette’s syndrome and he has worked to discredit me prior to my memories returning of him and the murders of Sharyn and Agnes Burkin in 1998. Since airing my Uncle’s extended interview and taking it down, my memories have returned and all attempts to confront have been met with abusive stonewalling and silence since making all those promise on air about wanting to solve the crime. He did it. My memories point to him.
Nice of her notnto correct Stephen’s grammatical error: it’s not ‘le bibliothèque’ but ‘LA bibliothèque’, as she certainly knows. After all she graduated from the Lycée Français.
She is very nice in person, very polite. Has also the most amazing eyes.
question: "Où est le bibliothèque?" answer: "Brian is in the kitchen".
The iconic, the legendary, the beautiful Jodie Foster.
I have seen this movie a couple of weeks ago here in France. If someone doubted Jodie Foster’s ability to speak a completely, totally flawless French, this is solid proof of it. Her character is an American psychiatrist and psycho-analyst who has a license to practice in France. Actually she is a bilingual analyst, meaning she has also Anglophone patients ; which is perfectly realistic given the number of English speakers living in Paris. But regarding her Francophone patients, you might think that it should be another story. I mean if there is a field where language in all its complexity requires precision and acuteness, both in expression and interpretation, it is psychotherapy, right ? However, here, Jodie maintains full credibility in the job from start to finish. Quite a performance.
I wish she was one of ours 🇨🇦but she's definitely an American treasure 🇺🇸 but hey a film she did in Vancouver BC won her the Oscar ❤
When I saw Bugsy Malone as a 13 year old in 76 I instantly fell in love with Jodie Foster……probably still am 😀😀😀
Stephen Colbert's French sounds pretty good as well (may be because he bears the name of a famous minister of Louis the 14th (the so called Sun King, the guy of Versailles) in the 17th century.
Im 63 and still remember watching her on wonderful world of Disney as a child
Le lundi on peut parler
Le mardi on peut parler
Le mercredi on peut parler
Mais le jeudi faut se taire ( Jodie Foster )
The west coast dialect is pretty much the same from Vancouver BC to San Diego ( Canada is bilingual but very very few francophones in Vancouver)
Ms Foster has only produced extraordinary works. Everything we see and hear of her is golden. Wow!
She's fluent in French. Very impressive!
For me as a Frenchman, she is a person who truly makes America great. Not like the clown who makes America more aggressive. But it would be time to wake up before it’s too late. El pueblo unido jamás será vencido were singing the opponents of the Chilean dictator. Soon in the USA?
She’s an aspiration and an icon in France.
Who wouldn't like Jodie Foster,she's just incredible.She seems as though she'd be successful in any career she chose.
Mr Colbert with your prestigious french name you should speak perfectly the language of your family ! 🤣🤣🤣
Terrific Show. I love Jodie Foster. Thank you.
She’s one of the BEST EVER HUMAN BEING, I I think one of one of our first movies was taxi driver and I was on stuck on it since then I was stuck on her acting since then I was young too but now I’m 70 and I still love Jodie Coster because she’s the best one of the best ever🎉
It’s “ FOSTER” NOT “Forster”.
Colbert french accent is so PERFECT!
Little trivia here: he added a silent "t" at the end of his name cause that looks more frenchy.
I’m French and very surprised how well Stephen speak French so well 😊👍👏
She's no French 😅, take it from the real thing
A child star who is very intelligent and somehow navigated that past to become an well-adjusted adult.
When she answers to the question "Où est le bibliothèque?" "le bibliothèque est derrière les toilettes" with a perfect french accent. Don't worry, she knew that the correct article in french is 'la bibliothèque". But she is Jodie Foster and she knows that you don't have to correct the mistakes of the people trying to speak another language. Elle est tout simplement d'une grande politesse.
Incroyable, elle parle vraiment bien anglais. Moins bien que le français, je trouve. 😂
Une femme magnifique !! ☝️😁👌
In France, we really love her.
She's classy, physically and moraly.
Besides, she speaks really good french ! ❤
French here. Jodie Foster's French is perfect. She speaks as good as a native, uses expression only natives use.
Wow! Stephen and Jodie chatting.
Funny and Intellectual!!
She's been doubling herself in french in most of the movies she played in. She's definitely good in french.
One of the best!
My favourite actress of all time. Pure class, intelligence and beauty.
I love Contact! Great movie!
Ageless Jodie
❤
Jodi Foster is so genuine, it’s a joy to see her being interviewed. She always answers from her heart, is truthful, and appears to enjoy telling her stories. She is amazing, thank you for interviewing her on your show, it was fantastic!
It's amazing how Jodie Foster has crafted a legacy where it's only her work that matters and not her personal life (though people have been prying on her sexuality for years, before she finally acknowledged it publicly). For someone who has been working in the film business since age 3 and has been a global movie star ever since her breakthrough year of 1976 at age 13, it's remarkable how well she transitioned to mature leading roles with her sanity & integrity intact. Not to mention between all the mayhem of stardom, she managed to graduate a rigorous french language prep school as a valedictorian, had a near perfect SAT score, graduated from Yale magna cum laude in comparative literature. Jodie Foster in every sense is exceptional & remarkable, someone who would be a better suit from a career in academics but somehow ended up being in the showbiz, since she had no choice & this remarkable intellect of her's is what distinguishes her from all of her peers or literally everybody in the film industry. A once in a generation talent.
She is terrific, and so smart. I feel like she's been there my whole life. First saw her on The Courtship of Eddie's Father when we were both very, very young.
J.F. is evidence that bisexuality/pansexuality is a real thing. I've always been attracted to this actor/human/woman. She's beautiful. She's funny. She's intelligent. She's passionate. She's honest. She's talented. On and on and on. I'm sure half the world is in love with her. Foster just has that thing. That je ne sais quoi.
YouAre😊😊
She's one of the most unpretentious actors in Hollywood…she demands nothing but high-level performances from herself; and she seems to excel at everything she does.
