Aaron Rodgers is full of surprises.
When the Packers quarterback was named NFL MVP for the third time in his career earlier this month, Rodgers timidly announced his engagement – to actress Shailene Woodley, after only a few months of dating – and included Jodie Foster on his thanks list.

Jodie Foster, the Oscar-winning actress? What is her connection to Rodgers?
“He knows I’m his biggest fan,” explained Foster this week on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Well, Foster is co-starring with Woodley in the next film “The Mauritanian”, so she may not even be your biggest fan on the set. Unless she introduced the couple. This part remains unclear.

Foster told Conan O’Brien in 2016 that she watches the Packers game every weekend and became addicted to the Packers fandom when she was introduced to the team by a friend. Rodgers added her to his list of people who make up his team off the field.
“See, he said ‘my team’, although he said ‘off the field’. It makes me a Green Bay Packer,” Foster told Kimmel. “People keep saying to me, ‘No, Jodie, that doesn’t mean you’re part of the team.’ But that means that I’m part of the team. “
Foster told Kimmel that she doesn’t know Rodgers. It seems like a coincidence that she and Woodley are in the same film and were referenced, although Foster was quoted and Woodley was not.

“I don’t know if it’s a coincidence … and she’s fantastic,” said Foster. “So we spent a lot of time in ‘The Mauritanian’ together in a small tent with a small air conditioner spitting on us, talking about our lives and recipes, and people we hate and things like that.”
After Kimmel added “and the Green Bay Packers,” admitted Foster, “and the Green Bay Packers somehow emerged!”
