Jodie Foster broke the silence about whether or not she set up her “The Mauritanian” co-star Shailene Woodley with NFL star Aaron Rodgers.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback revealed that he was committed to giving his acceptance speech for the NFL MVP Award on February 6.
“2020 was definitely a crazy year full of many changes, growth, some incredible and memorable moments,” said the 37-year-old. “One hundred and eighty consecutive days after having shaved the hair on my nose, a plan for few or no fans resisting throughout the season, I got engaged and played the best football of my career.”
Although Rodgers did not mention Woodley’s name, he and the 29-year-old “Big Little Lies” actress had previously been associated.

Meanwhile, in his speech, Rodgers also thanked Foster, which made fans think she must be the common bond, but Foster stated that she doesn’t know Rodgers, she is just a vocal Packers fan.
“You had no idea he was going to say that?” Jimmy Kimmel asked as the actress-director made an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Thursday night.
Foster replied, “He just knows that I’m his biggest fan.” The 58-year-old avoided the issue of engagement.
Kimmel asked, “Does he mention his fiancee, who is Shailene Woodley, who is his co-star in this particular film. And is this just a total coincidence?”

The Oscar winner replied, “I don’t know if this is a coincidence, but yes, she is, and she is fantastic. So we spent a lot of time in ‘The Mauritanian’ together in a small tent with a little air conditioning spitting on us, talking about our lives and recipes and people we hate and things like that. “
