Jodie Foster, AARP The Magazine Interview
In the past, Jodie Foster hasn’t had a problem being vocal about her friendship with Mel Gibson- often defending his honor and proving she’s got his back. That trend continues in the May/June issue of AARP The Magazine, when she dishes on her hopes for her latest film, The Beaver, and what it was like working with her friend, Mad Mel.
On working on The Beaver:
“The film struck a personal chord for me. It delves into the loneliness we all feel, faced with live’s burdens. The only way to even try to cope is to connect.”
On casting Mel Gibson:
“I knew he could relate so much to Walter’s struggles that there was no way he would [see] it as a comedy. That Mel’s character be dramatically consumed in this internal struggle was very important to me.”
On her friendship with Gibson:
“From the moment I met him, there was such a connection that I knew we would be friends for the rest of my life. We work exactly i the same way: No bull—-. We’ve had so many conversations about the topics the films explores. He is a brilliant man, a beautiful talent, and a loyal, loyal friend. That’s the man I know.”
