Fashion photographer Zoey Grossman shared a head-turning photo of Jodie Foster posing in an unbuttoned shirtless suit for ELLE Magazine. “Omg. Jodie. Foster. This was an amazing day-Jodie was down to play and try anything. An ICON!” Zoey wrote, thanking the outlet’s editor-in-chief and former Project Runway judge, Nina Garcia.
Jodie, 61, is known for her iconic roles in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974) and Taxi Driver (1976). She also starred in Academy-award-winning movies like The Accused (1988), and 1991’s The Silence of the Lambs where she played FBI Agent Clarice Starling alongside Anthony Hopkins.

Jodie stars alongside The Grifters’ Annette Bening in the newly released Netflix biopic Nyad, which is about athlete Diana Nyad, whose coach Jodie plays in the movie. 60-year-old Nyad, “with the help of her best friend and coach, commits to achieving her life-long dream— a 110-mile open ocean swim from Cuba to Florida.”

Jodie previously met the real-life coach, Bonnie Stoll, in passing; however, they did not know each other. Although Stoll first brushed off the idea of Jodie playing her, her excitement grew overtime on getting to meet the legendary actress. “I would think that anybody in my position would be thrilled…and she’s just the loveliest human being,” she said.
Embracing her 60s
Unlike most, Jodie is enthusiastic about aging and has never felt better since she turned 60. “I think it’s an age thing because I felt these huge shifts the day I turned 30, and the day I turned 60. And 60 was the best shift of all, because I was struggling in my 50s,” she told Greta Lee for Interview.
She also prefers to keep it natural and avoid cosmetic procedures like plastic surgery, although she does not have anything against it for other people. “It’s not my thing,” she said. “I’d rather have somebody go, ‘Wow, that girl has a bad nose’ than ‘Wow, that girl has a bad nose job—- I’d rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am.”
