Mel Gibson should be calling Jodie Foster the loyal friend. Jodie Foster spoke to AARP Magazine, the glossy members only magazine with a circulation of over 40 million which covers entertainment and lifestyle news, about great friend Mel Gibson. The magazine published 6 times a year which used to stand for American Association for Retired Persons but now goes by AARP, has the largest circulation in the US, so I’m thinking loyal friend Foster not to mention brilliant gal, wanted to get her positive message across about Mel Gibson. Mel stars with her in her upcoming directed film ‘The Beaver” and here are some highlights:
On working on ‘The Beaver’
“The film struck a personal chord for me. It delves into the loneliness we all feel, faced with life’s burdens. The only way to even try to cope is to connect.
On casting Mel Gibson
“I knew he could relate so much to Walter’s struggles that there was no way he would it as a comedy. That Mel’s character be dramatically consumed in this internal struggle was very important to me.”
On her friendship with Gibson
“From the moment I met him, there was such a connection that I knew we would be friends for the rest of my life. We work exactly in the same way: No bull—-. We’ve had so many conversations about the topics the film explores. He is a brilliant man, a beautiful talent, and a loyal, loyal friend. That’s the man I know.” Click link below for full story.
