Jodie Foster has denied the claims that she set up Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers. The actress had been mentioned in the conversation given that she is a fan of the Green Bay Packers, which happens to be the same NFL team as Aaron.
Jodie Foster Denies Setting Up Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers
In an interview with the 2021 Golden Globes press room, she rejected the claims but did admit that she liked Aaron’s NFL team. She said: “I did not set up Shailene and Aaron. I have never met Aaron Rodgers, but it is possible that I do like to talk about [the] Green Bay Packers, and sometimes I can talk a little bit too much about that. So, of course, Shailene was very aware of my enthusiasm for the team.”
Following Jodie’s win for her role in The Mauritanian, she praised Aaron, who had earlier given her a shout out: “Oh, my God, are you kidding me? I think you made a mistake. I’m a little speechless. I just never expected to ever be here again, and wow. I have to thank all of my amazing filmmakers, Kevin Macdonald and the real-life people. And Aaron Rodgers! This is awesome.”
So how was Jodie linked to his conversation? It stems from a previous interview with Conan in which she declared her love for the Green Bay Packers. But the rationale for her choice of team was not what most people would have thought.
She revealed: “I like the outfits. My friend Karen has all the cheese; she has lots of cheese heads and cheese memorabilia. I have a cheese beer holder. I got cheese everything. But I’m kind of fickle. I go from team to team. And if [Green Bay] are doing really badly, I abandon them and move on.”
The duo, for their part, have been doing well since their engagement. So much so that Shailene could not stop gushing over Aaron. In an interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she spoke on how great everything was going. She said: “So it’s kind of funny. Everybody right now is freaking out over it, and we’re like, ‘Yeah, we’ve been engaged for a while. He’s, first off, just a wonderful, incredible human being.”
