“The Silence of the Lambs” Actor Once Revealed Her Favorite Star in the NFL and He Is a Packers Legend

The Green Bay Packers have had a lot of celebrity endorsements over the years. The franchise has a great fan following, and the list goes on. But one celebrity fan, Jodie Foster, had a massive uproar when Aaron Rodgers made his MVP acceptance speech in 2021. While talking about that moment, she revealed her favorite NFL athlete.

The moment arrived in 2021 when Aaron Rodgers was named NFL MVP. One surprising aspect was when he mentioned getting engaged and gave a shout-out to his fiancée. But before that, he also said Jodie Foster’s name, which sparked a new uproar. The Silence of the Lambs actress addressed the situation on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Jodie Foster mentioned, “I’m a big Packers fan. You see, he said ‘my team,’ even though he said ‘off the field.’ That makes me a Green Bay Packer. People keep saying to me, ‘No, Jodie, that does not mean you’re part of the team.’ But it does mean I’m part of the team.” But when Jimmy Kimmel asked whether she knew the Packers QB1, she responded with a no. Foster then added, “He just knows I’m his biggest fan.”

There were rumors that Jodie Foster was the one who set up Shailene Woodley with Aaron Rodgers. Both actresses worked together and spent time on ‘The Mauritanian’. But the Golden Globe-winning actress put the final nail in the coffin after denying those rumors.
