Jodie Foster still loves when fans quote ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ to her
Jodie Foster of "True Detective" and "Nyad" says she loves when fans approach her to quote "The Silence of the Lambs."
Nearly 23 years after the release of “The Silence of the Lambs,” Jodie Foster still embraces the staunch fandom.
While appearing on TODAY Jan. 17, Hoda Kotb asked if fans walk up to the two-time Oscar winner and quote the movie to her, including the way Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) says the name of Foster’s character, Clarice, throughout the film.
“I love it! I love it,” Foster said of fans approaching her, explaining that “it just feels like somehow what we did was meaningful and that it entered into the collective unconscious.”
Foster added that she finds that to be a “good thing” because the 1991 film “had a lot of heart.”
The “Nyad” star shared that after “The Silence of the Lambs,” she hadn’t taken another detective role until her new part in the latest season of “True Detective,” which premiered on Jan. 14.
