Jodie Foster reached out to Natalie Portman about being sexualized in Hollywood, the “May December” actress recalled on the Monday episode of the “Smartless” podcast.
Cohost Jason Bateman asked her if she has a specific role model in her career, mentioning Jodie Foster.
“I talked to her much later, which was amazing. I did a speech at a women’s march about being sexualized as a young actress, and, she reached out to me after that, and we talked and it was amazing,” Portman said. “She’s still a role model.”
Cohost Sean Hayes followed up on the common experience for women in entertainment, asking if Portman had come to recognize a certain personality or found any red flags to clock in someone who might end up sexualizing women in Hollywood during her career in the industry.
