Jodie Foster just ruined her chances of getting any tips on how to go viral on TikTok.
The “True Detective” star told The Guardian in an interview published Saturday that she finds some of Gen Z’s work habits a little lackluster.
“They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace,” Foster said. “They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30am.’ Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ’Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’”
Although the “Nyad” star seemed to be joking around a bit, her remarks drew mixed reactions on social media. Some people on X, formerly Twitter, seemed to agree with Foster.
While others stuck up for Gen Zers.
It should be noted that Foster didn’t go total “get off my lawn” on Gen Z. She implied that she admires that they challenge gender norms as she spoke about 20-year-old nonbinary actor Bella Ramsey.
Foster said she reached out to Ramsey to ask if the “Last of Us” star would introduce her at an event for Elle magazine.
“I reached out to Bella, because we’d never met, and said: ‘I want you to introduce me at this thing,’ which is a wonderful event about actors and people in the movies, but is also very much a fashion thing. Which means it’s determining who represents us,” Foster explained.
“[The organizers] are very proud of themselves because they’ve got every ethnicity, and I’m like, yeah, but all the attendees are still wearing heels and eyelashes. There are other ways of being a woman, and it’s really important for people to see that. And Bella, who gave the best speech, was wearing the most perfect suit, beautifully tailored, and a middle parting and no makeup.”
