Lately, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has some mystery attached to him. People wonder about his future at Green Bay, unsure if he will end his career there. Then, he subtly announced that he had a bride during his NFL MVP speech. He kept some mystery there, as he did not announce who he was engaged to at the time, although several reports have said he is in a relationship with actress Shailene Woodley.
But there was even more mystery in his MVP speech when he made an apparently random reference to actress Jodie Foster, leaving many wondering what the connection was to her.
“Outside the field, I have a large group of people who support me, so I would like to thank my team outside the field,” said Rodgers, listing many people, before mentioning Foster.
Aaron, we have so many questions about so many things!
Foster has a connection with Woodley, as the actresses are co-stars in the new film “The Mauritanian.“ But it is a little more than that. Foster gave us a better idea of why she received a shout from the Packers star during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” recently.
Foster, a Packers superfan, doesn’t know Rodgers personally, but said “he just knows I’m his biggest fan”.
Excited, Foster decided to interpret this as meaning that she has a place on the team:
“He said ‘MY team’, which makes me a Green Bay Packer … People keep saying, ‘No, Jodie, that doesn’t mean you’re part of the team’, but does it means that I am part of the team. “
Kimmel asked if she would win a Golden Globe, she would thank Rodgers, and she responded with an enthusiastic “absolutely”, but noted that she may have to mention the entire Packers list.
“Davante Adams has to be there somewhere,” she said.
