Celebrities connect to each other across all entertainment platforms, from the sports world to movies to TV shows. On Sunday night’s Golden Globes, Aaron Rodgers’ name was brought up in a place no one expected.
When stars receive awards, they usually thank their parents, their siblings, their romantic partners, their managers… you get the idea. So when actress Jodie Foster brought Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers into her speech, the crowd was speechless and dumbfounded.
She had just risen to the podium after winning the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in the film The Mauritanian. In her speech, she outright thanked Aaron Rodgers and didn’t explain why.
However, after doing some proper research, fans eventually started to piece it all together.
In Aaron Rodgers’ MVP acceptance speech earlier this month, he had actually thanked Jodie Foster as well. What made this even weirder was the fact that apparently the two reportedly barely even know each other. For this reason, Foster was shocked when she was thanked by Rodgers. For this reason, she said that if she won the Golden Globe, she would “thank” Rodgers in return.
However, there is another layer to this story that is significant. Foster’s co-star in The Mauritanian is none other than Shailene Woodley, the very same actress that Rodgers recently announced his engagement to. Did Foster give Rodgers some form of advice in relation to his courtship of Woodley, causing Rodgers to thank her in the first place? That much is unclear, but nevertheless, the interaction between the two of them has been funny for the rest of us to observe.
