These are people that are our brothers and our sisters. It never occurred to me to want to create a kind of victim story, or even a coming-out story. For me, at 30 years old, that felt kind of beside the point. It wasn’t about his acceptance of himself it was about having to go home to a family when you already have a family. People that live in some subset groups - whether it’s gay people, whether it’s progressives, as opposed to going home for your conservative friends, or maybe you don’t live in a religious way but your parents are religious - your friends are your family, and that is very true of my generation. Our family was more the people that we got stuck in the elevator with that we didn’t choose. What I said to him on that particular day - and I’ve talked to him about this before - where he came to set and was speaking in tongues and I couldn’t understand a word he said, but he thought he was making sense? And then 20 minutes went by, and then suddenly he actually started speaking English? I shut down the set. I said, “You know what? We’re all going to go home. Robert? Come with me.” And I sat him down. He was making sense, and he was like, “Yeah? Hey. What’s going on? What’s up?” And I said, “So far, you are on a barstool, and you have managed to not fall off the barstool. It’s possible that you’re going to find a way to prop yourself up, whatever toothpicks it takes to prop yourself up. The last day of shooting, we knew that it was coming.Īnd now may not be the time, but I am afraid for you.” That’s the part he doesn’t remember. His family said, “We’re going to do an intervention on him after the shoot.” And they did. He’s had other interventions after that, but I did feel like that was his first step toward him really taking consciousness. He was a member of the family, and the lovely Charles Durning really, like, sat him down and talked to him about where he was headed. But it definitely was an odd time.Jodie Foster is a critically-acclaimed American actor, director, and producer who is credited as one of the best actors of her generation.
