Jodie Foster says her sons Charles and Kit are 'insecure' about their careers - after she won Lead Actress at Emmys

As a long-time admirer of Jodie Foster’s exceptional talent and grace, reading about her backstage Emmys moment with her sons, Charles and Kit, struck a chord within me. The tender love she expressed for her children, their careers, and their uncertainties resonated deeply. It was heartwarming to see such a seasoned actress, with a career built on doing meaningful work, cherishing the journey of her offspring as they embark on their own creative paths.


Immediately following her win for Best Actress at the 2024 Emmys, Jodie Foster shared that her kids are currently grappling with decisions regarding their professional futures.

On a sunny day in Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, the 61-year-old Academy Award winner shared insights about her sons, Charles (age 26) and Kit (age 23), during a backstage interview.

Jodie shared with People that they are at an age where they’re embarking on their careers, and they’re somewhat anxious about the future.

Whenever they experience a moment of joy, such as achieving an ‘A’, securing a job, or landing an audition, their heart swells with delight, reminiscing about a fulfilling career constructed around purposeful tasks. I can tell that this is the secret to contentment, she concluded.

‘So I’m just thrilled for them, for the future.’

In a simpler, more conversational style: The actress who played the main role in the original Freaky Friday won the award for Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series due to her exceptional performance in True Detective’s Night Country episode.

In January, Jodie explained the reason behind not disclosing her status as a Hollywood celebrity to her children during their childhood.

She mentioned on The View, ‘I suppose I preferred they wouldn’t see me in that light. I wanted them to recognize me as their mother and the one who went off to work and other things.’

‘I just didn’t want them to be confused about what I did for a living,’ she added.

A performer who appeared in The Silence of the Lambs reminisced humorously about what his elder sibling thought he was doing when he took him to a movie set daily, alongside Annette Bening in the film Nyad.

I replied, ‘Indeed, these are sets upon sets. For quite some time, he mistakenly believed I was a construction worker, assuming my profession involved building structures.’

As Charles and their younger son, Christopher ‘Kit’, have grown into adults, there’s been a question posed to Jodie about whether she’s ever watched any of her movies alongside them.

She mentioned that they don’t seem eager to watch my movies with me, as they appear to be more interested in the HBO show ‘True Detective’, which they seem to enjoy greatly.

I wouldn’t display a couple of movies, such as ‘Nell,’ since I’d be concerned about being ridiculed. It’s a film they haven’t seen yet, but they often tease me about it, even though they haven’t watched the movie.

Jodie and her ex-partner, Cydney Bernard, co-parent their two sons. Jodie is their biological mom, while the identity of their biological father remains unspecified.

Following their separation in 2008, the actress tied the knot with Alexandra Hedison in 2014. 

After spending some high-quality time getting closer to Kit in New York during November, Jodie made an appearance on The View.

As per his LinkedIn profile, Kit is presently employed as a research assistant at Princeton University.

Concerning my scientific ambitions, the versatile student expressed, “I find both the physical and organic fields fascinating, but I can’t seem to choose a favorite between them.
