Jodie Foster Kept Acting Career a Secret from Her Children

The Oscar-winning actress wanted her sons to see her as a mother first, not a celebrity.

Jodie Foster, the Oscar-winning actress, revealed that she didn't tell her children she was an actor when they were young, leading them to believe she worked in construction.
Foster wanted her children, Charles Bernard, 25, and Christopher 'Kit' Bernard, 22, to know her as their mother and not as a celebrity.
Despite her illustrious career, Foster's children have shown little interest in watching her movies, although they might tune in to her latest TV series, 'True Detective'.
Foster shares her children with her former partner, Cydney Bernard, and is currently married to Alexandra Hedison.
Foster's younger son, Kit, is not interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, unlike his older brother.
