Jodie Foster moves audience to tears as she ‘comes out’ on stage at Golden Globes

Tweet

Jodie Foster stole the show at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13. The actress and director, 50, accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award for Lifetime Achievement — and in her emotional, funny, wild speech, Foster finally, publicly acknowledged that she’s gay. “I have a sudden urge to say something i’ve never really been able to say in public,” Foster (clad in custom Armani) said, clutching her award. “A declaration that I’m a little nervous about, but, you know, loud and proud.”

Teasing the audience, Foster continued . . . “I am . . . single!” As the crowd laughed, she added. “Yes I am, I’m kidding. I’m not really kidding, but kind of.” The resolutely private Oscar winner explained of her private romantic life: “i did my coming out a thousand years ago back in the stone age, in those quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family . . . Now I’m told every celebrity is expected [to share] the details of their private life with a reality show.”

Joked Foster: “I’m not Honey Boo Boo child! That’s not me. It never was and it never will be. Don’t be sad . . . my reality show would be so boring!” Click below for full story -
