Foster's comments about acting and comedy roles sparked a lot of interest among fans and critics alike. When asked why she rarely takes on comedic roles in English-language films, she explained that it's simply because "they don't have a lot of subtlety or intelligence" – a statement that has left many in the industry scratching their heads.

Despite her comments about comedy, Foster did manage to squeeze in a funny remark when she referred to Disney's upcoming sequel 'Freakier Friday'. Although she had been approached for a cameo in the film, Foster declined due to her busy schedule with her new French-language project, Vie Privée. "I was too busy," she quipped, adding that she had followed the shoot and admired the work of Jamie Lee Curtis, who is reprising her role as Tess Coleman.

Foster's decision not to appear in 'Freakier Friday' may have come as a surprise to some, but fans and critics alike can't help but admire her commitment to choosing projects that truly resonate with her. After all, as she so eloquently put it, "I don't love doing comedies in English... For me, that's essential."

In the end, Jodie Foster's latest appearance at the Telluride Film Festival is a testament to her enduring legacy and timeless style. As we continue to follow her career with bated breath, one thing is clear: this Hollywood legend is still going strong.
