Jodie Foster Tries to Clean Up Anti-Gen Z Comments
On Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night, film icon Jodie Foster attempted to correct the record on some less-than-charitable comments she’d directed towards Gen Z over the weekend.
Last Saturday, Foster told The Guardian in an interview that she wasn’t that enthusiastic about working with members of younger generations; specifically, she called out Gen Z for their working habits, which she doesn’t feel are entirely up to snuff.
“They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace,” Foster told the outlet. “They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10:30 a.m.’ 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?’”
