Two Icons!! Jodie is one of the most talented artists and she has seen it all child actor to adult to Director!! And Robert is so good and everything he does, he is so talented!!❤🤩
Jodie foster being so content at 60 makes so much sense. This woman has been an achiever throughout her life. Starting her career at age 3, a global movie star by age 12, first Oscar nomination at age 13, graduated high school as a valedictorian, had near perfect SAT scores & graduated Yale with magna cum laude, won two Oscars by age 28, directed her first movie at age 27 etc. I'm glad she's taking time to relax and not compete with her past self
Jodie Foster's razor-sharp intellect & Robert Downey Jr.'s humour is the reason why this pairing is the greatest and icing on the cake, they are close friends.
One thing about Jodie Foster is that this woman is a true friend & a loyal human. She was the first person to contact Rob Lowe following his sex tape scandal & went out of her way, going against the producers by getting him cast for a role in Contact (1997), when his acting career was plummeting. She was the one to straighten out Robert Downey Jr. regarding his addiction issues and wrote him an empowering letter (which he mentions in this conversation) while he was in jail & rehabs. Of all his actions, she always stood by Mel Gibson as a friend without condoning his actions. She was the only public figure to defend Kristen Stewart after she was thrust into a maelstrom of hatred following her affair with a married director. Jodie Foster is one remarkable woman, who's cinematic legacy is unparalleled, but also, whose cultural impact is undeniable even if people don't want to acknowledge it. I'm beyond shocked she hasn't received the AFI Life Achievement Award & Kennedy Centre Honours yet.
Always good to be reminded that Jodie advocated hard for him to get help when she directed him and saw how deep in substance abuse he was back then. These two know each other very well
I was just noticing that. Her eyes are a stunning blue. People have told me how beautiful my eyes are (not bragging: stating other people's opinions) and I had to go in and look at mine in a mirror and compare. My eyes are blue, but her eyes are azure. It's the difference between the sky just after sunset and a tropic ocean at midday. I could fall into hers. Mine are just a little bit cold.
I admire Jodie Foster's honest statement on how Robert Downey Jr. evolved : "You came to the table with this just joy, freedom about the play of what it is to be an actor, and you didn't have the discipline part necessarily down for a number of years. Then, increasingly over time in your martial artist way because you do martial arts, you've become this extraordinarily discipline person" Shows her keen sense of observation and analysis.
I find her spirit to be very confrontational and over emotional. Like its not directed at bad intentions, but there is 0 chill and peace about her. She's like the first social justice warrior, mad about the world and all its injustices. You'd think at this age, shed calm down a little. We all learn not to let it consume us eventually.
She has always been so straight up. I interviewed the white people that as students went to Mississippi to help Blacks sign up to vote in 1964. They were still as passionate. I don't think folks chill as they get older...I'm 67. Since I am Black, I am always happy with Social Justice Warriors. I love that term SJW, it reaffirms that social justice is so hard to achieve that it takes warriors.
@@ScotteMConfrontational? She's laid-back as hell. And shy and reserved. You're projecting. How is she the first SJW when she spent all her career saying she doesn't feel comfortable being a spokesperson or activist for anything. You clearly don't know much about her.
I will never stop saying how much I love Actors on Actors and this pairing is one of the best I have ever had on. You can see the admiration Jodie has for Robert and the joy she has seeing him so happy, and you can see how much Robert admires her and values her opinion. Their entire conversation is absolutely effortless. Bravo to whomever put this together.
I remember when I turned 50. A lot of people I knew died before they lived through their 5th decade. It is so freeing to appreciate the time one has had and make the most of what is left. I totally understood what Jodie meant about feeling OK
She emanates intelligence. She works out at my gym and you just sense this kindness and compassion from her and this fierce emotional intelligence about her. It’s hard to explain.
I remember when RDJ presented Jodie with her lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes, about a decade back. Her speech then was amazingly moving-especially the part about her Mum. I still go back and listen to it from time to time.
Jodie Foster and Robert Downey are such kindred spirits and have been there for each other through the most difficult times in their personal lives. So glad we're finally getting a nice glimpse of their long standing friendship. 🤗✌️
Kids now don’t realize how famous Jodie is. She was on the cover of every teen magazine in the 70’s. I would argue she has had a career much longer than most any other actor her age. Besides maybe Drew Barrymore and RDJ.
Robert Downey Jr. seems to be in a good mood since his Oscar win and i absolutely love that. He's the embodiment of a Golden Retriever. You just can't help but love him all the time and really wanna give him a hug. The rise and fall and rise again of his career needs to be studied, his progress as an actor is so inspiring
I love how Jodie is so nonchalant about her age and you can see she is naturally beautiful, inside and out too! And Robert Downey Jr has gotten better with age! Both of them actually. Just really talented actors and Hollywood would not be the same without them.
Jodie Foster is so damn beautiful and elegant. She’s such a boss. Robert is still the coolest guy in the room and aging beautifully as well. Two Hollywood legends here.
@@cable7152The news is the greatest source of the dullness. Tragedy exploitation, fear mongering, and when that’s not happening? The meaningless pop culture ouroboros, delivered to you half-heartedly by people who would rather be disconnected themselves. People get so caught up in this economy of distraction we’ve found ourselves in, people like yourself actually believe things are going on, when really there is very little of excitement or value. The value these days comes from the underground; art, music, social interaction, human experience. Without phones. Without tv. You don’t have that, you may as well have nothing.
I love her, and I love him. Silence of the Lambs and Tropic Thunder-OMG! I also love that she protects his past. She knows his journey from then to the man he is today.
Their chemistry is fun, but the intelligence level with these two is incomparable. She is so much more thoughtful in how she speaks and explains things, like how she is as a director. RDJ learned the hard way, glad he's recovered.
RDJ's intelligence is quite brilliant as well. He's an intuitive bringing deeper meaning connecting the dots. Big picture thinker. Jodie more of one idea explained sequentially well. Different styles, but both intelligent.
Yeah I reckon they're probably within 4 IQ points of each other. It's not intelligence difference, just perspective and personality and experience difference get it
What a great conversation! I'm the same age as Jodie and I grew up watching her and I just love that she hasn't done anything to her face and still looks like herself. RDJ looks great, too, and it's a joy to see him so happy and grounded. ❤
It’s 2am and I just discovered this. I’ve watched these actors for years and really appreciate listening to them discuss their craft in depth. So glad I found this!
Everybody knows this story by now, but RDJ was so whacked out abusing drugs during Home For the Holidays, Jodie pulled him aside to say “never mind this silly holiday comedy we’re trying to make, I am seriously worried that YOU MIGHT DIE!” I don’t know how RDJ charts his own recovery, but I believe it’s just starting with this movie & I do credit Jodie for helping save his life. And I think he knows it.
I agree’ I’m 51 and hope I look as great as Jodie or Robert aways loved his big brown eyes. Lov him in less then zero. Lov Jodie . …… Jackie … England 🏴
Love that these two have finally done one of these together. And that they talked about “Home for the Holidays” for awhile. A fantastic film that doesn’t get much fanfare and it should.
The greatest pairing of two cinematic titans. Jodie foster is not just an extraordinary actor, a genius, an intellectual, but also an extraordinarily loyal friend, who helped every friend of her's in their lowest of low point. She helped Robert Downey Jr. during his addiction crisis ruthlessly until he got back on the right track. This woman is quite possibly the most remarkable human alive.
Jodie Foster is definitely a smart and resilient person. I admire that about her. Loving the mutual respect on both parts here. They're very different but stills had a great conversation.
Two of the most accomplished talents in the industry. I loved this discussion between equals. If you ever think acting is an easy gig, watch this and learn what it takes to be at the top of your game. Thank you Jodie and Robert for all the hours of drama, entertainment and joy of your performances over the years. You deserve all the accolades you get.
That was a lovely interview. You can really feel how much respect theu have for each other. Loved watching RDJ and Jodie reminisce on their past work together too
Amazing. I'm 52 years old and have basically loved Josie Foster my entire life. And Robert Downey, Jr. for almost as long. This was just so fun, thank you.
Home for the Holidays is my FAVORITE movie of all time. It’s so smart, funny, unique and timeless all at once. The way those actors presented the complexities of characters and the shades of love, resentment, grief, and nostalgia all woven together. Beautiful.
Such respect for both of them. For those who may have missed them, may i suggest two underrated films of Jodie's, "Carny" and "Foxes". Those and the documentary "Sr" on Robert and his dad.
Home for the Holidays was just brilliant. It was almost like a play, that was perfectly orchestrated. I remember just being struck with how brilliantly, acted, written and directed it was. It captured perfectly the bittersweetness of family life and the normalization of non normal behavior because its familiar. It perfectly picked up on how family's each have role to play, and even as adults they regress to thier childhood roles when they gather again. The film was just perfection. And for a 30 year old, and relatively new director it was astounding.
Jodie Foster's Home For The Holidays (1995) starring Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr. is a movie that i watched every once in a while during vacation whether it's Christmas or Summer break, it's just a perfect movie to watch during vacation. Seeing them reuniting just for this interview makes me so happy 🤗
Two of the most respected and iconic actors of their generation. So many remarkable performances throughout their careers that it makes this "chat" between them a must watch. Brilliant.
Jodie couldn't be more correct describing holidays with family!!! "Home for the Holidays" is one of my favorite movies..she hit the nail on the head with that one!!! xo
Jodie Foster has to be one of the most interesting, intelligent, open, educated, sincere, honest and beautiful woman I can think of. Downey is in a league of his own. Thanks for this.
Love this one! They are both super smart and quick. But also, they respectfully and graciously address the madness that was RDJ's life back then! Great talents!
These are two of the greatest performers and creative minds in film, and of my lifetime, having one of the most interesting conversations about their work.
@@j.zuberi this if comment makes no sense. A 60 year old with grey hair or balding with a lot of wrinkles who looks 80 is the exact same age as a 60 year old who works out every day and looks 40. 60 years is 60 years whatever way you cut it. There is no "60 year olds are young if". No. They're 60. Its only hilarious to you, because you don't understand basic numbers for some reason.
I so love Home for the Holidays, watched it so many times since I was a kid. Didn't know it was Jodie Foster's! Makes so much sense. Thank you for joining them.
I've always loved Jodie Foster, but was never much of a Robert Downey Jr fan until the last several years. I don't know what made me change my mind about him, but whatever it was, it was a good thing. Loved this "conversation" with the 2 of them!!!!
I love Robert Downey SO MUCH, he's so talented, sweet, charming, charismatic, funny, smart, and just an all around inspiration! 🌟 I love his paradoxical personality, he can appear very confident and sure of himself while at the same time, he has fears and insecurities he constantly tries to push through. Jodie Foster is so talented and inspiring as well, I love her strong, confident and kind personality. She's so smart, talented and perceptive. Robert makes me smile with his shy side, when he covers his face cause he's self conscious or cause what he's picturing him gets him all anxious. 🥰 Love the interview, they're both so great.
I loved her when I was a child and continued to admire her all these years: She was always the adult in the room, even as a very young child, from cool tomboy to the epitome of elegance. Her French is also flawless: accent, grammar and vocabulary.
I first became aware of Jody when I watched Hotel New Hampshire, and Robert completely blew my mind in Less Than Zero although I'd seen him in other films before. Been a hardcore fan of both of them eversince. Thank you for bringing them together, this is very exciting!
I watched this two times...I really do feel like these two people are like two angels or two spirits talking to each other. This is what life is all about and how meaningful our connections with others are. What makes this so profound also is that they have such a beautiful, platonic, genuine love and respect for each other. This is probably the most meaningful thing I have seen on youtube.
Lately I have been thinking that first, it's so great to have Jodie Foster back in our screens and second, she feels so relaxed and happy and joyfull. It's so fun to see!
Omg, I grew up with Jodie Foster on t.v. and "Home for Holidays" is my FAV Holiday movie. :) Both of these Souls have given SO much to bringing honor to their craft. :) Cannot wait to hear the rest. :)
What I found most enjoyable about this segment is the fact that these two actors have been as brave on screen as they have in real life. Thank you Ms Foster and Mr. Downey...for your honesty on both sides of the lens. #variety #jodiefoster #robertdowney #myunfetteredadmiration
Whoever's idea this was deserves a raise! Love them both!

"Lifelong friends..."? - curious where did you got that info from?
"I don't need to shoot up my face so that I can compete with who I used to be...." I love Jodie Foster.
Sage advice for us all.
That garnered major respect from me.
Best advice ever!
That real authentic conviction. And she still looks amazing and very attractive. 😊
Bravo!
As Robert said, everyone admires and respects her.
I adore him too, there is just something so sweet and intelligent about Robert!

Iconic! Could watch this over and over again! Two class acts, respectful of each other & sharing their experience & wisdom, brilliant!
I genuinely gasped out of happiness when I saw this pairing. This is so precious to me🥲 Absolute favs
Both, great personalities.
Many thanks to Robert, Jodie, everyone with Variety and everyone involved in ACTORS ON ACTORS. 💎
You can tell Robert loved Night County as he should …it is absolutely brilliant in every aspect!
2 Icons sitting, having a conversation. Happy to be alive to enjoy this. One love everyone.
We need a new movie with them now, great chemistry
Two of the greatest actors of our time and just overall cool people
Jodie Foster has to be one of the most interesting, intelligent, open, educated, sincere, honest and beautiful woman I can think of. Downey is in a league of his own. Thanks for this.
Love this one! They are both super smart and quick. But also, they respectfully and graciously address the madness that was RDJ's life back then! Great talents!
These are two of the greatest performers and creative minds in film, and of my lifetime, having one of the most interesting conversations about their work.
They're both still young but they're both so legendary already.
Jodie is 61, maybe not young but she is definitely not giving "pre-retirement".
Yeah Jodie is 61 and Downey is 59. That averages out at 60. Unless you're 300 years old, I do not understand this comment.
Agreed! Hilarious how ppl think 60yrs is old. Thats still relatively young if u keep ur body together.
@@j.zuberi this if comment makes no sense. A 60 year old with grey hair or balding with a lot of wrinkles who looks 80 is the exact same age as a 60 year old who works out every day and looks 40. 60 years is 60 years whatever way you cut it. There is no "60 year olds are young if". No. They're 60. Its only hilarious to you, because you don't understand basic numbers for some reason.
They are 60 & 59
Jodie Foster is such a beautiful human. She has such an inspiring attitude towards life, could listen to her talk all day.
I'd listen to these two every two weeks! Bring it on!!!
I so love Home for the Holidays, watched it so many times since I was a kid. Didn't know it was Jodie Foster's! Makes so much sense. Thank you for joining them.
I'd watch them talk every few weeks. Great actors, love the clear respect they have for each other.
I've always loved Jodie Foster, but was never much of a Robert Downey Jr fan until the last several years. I don't know what made me change my mind about him, but whatever it was, it was a good thing. Loved this "conversation" with the 2 of them!!!!
This is the pairing I never knew I needed in my life. More of the two of them, please!
How on earth Jodie Foster has been awarded the AFI Life Achievement Award is beyond me.
I love Robert Downey SO MUCH, he's so talented, sweet, charming, charismatic, funny, smart, and just an all around inspiration! 🌟 I love his paradoxical personality, he can appear very confident and sure of himself while at the same time, he has fears and insecurities he constantly tries to push through. Jodie Foster is so talented and inspiring as well, I love her strong, confident and kind personality. She's so smart, talented and perceptive. Robert makes me smile with his shy side, when he covers his face cause he's self conscious or cause what he's picturing him gets him all anxious. 🥰 Love the interview, they're both so great.
And he’s fit as fk lol

I loved her when I was a child and continued to admire her all these years: She was always the adult in the room, even as a very young child, from cool tomboy to the epitome of elegance. Her French is also flawless: accent, grammar and vocabulary.
I first became aware of Jody when I watched Hotel New Hampshire, and Robert completely blew my mind in Less Than Zero although I'd seen him in other films before. Been a hardcore fan of both of them eversince. Thank you for bringing them together, this is very exciting!
Brilliant performance in Less Than Zero
I watched this two times...I really do feel like these two people are like two angels or two spirits talking to each other. This is what life is all about and how meaningful our connections with others are. What makes this so profound also is that they have such a beautiful, platonic, genuine love and respect for each other. This is probably the most meaningful thing I have seen on youtube.
Lately I have been thinking that first, it's so great to have Jodie Foster back in our screens and second, she feels so relaxed and happy and joyfull. It's so fun to see!
This is great; two of the best at their profession having a real dialog.
I don't watch all of these, but the second I saw these two together I was in. Watch the whole thing, and I was right. The perfect pairing!
Omg, I grew up with Jodie Foster on t.v. and "Home for Holidays" is my FAV Holiday movie. :) Both of these Souls have given SO much to bringing honor to their craft. :) Cannot wait to hear the rest. :)
Love RObert! He’s came a long way! Proud of his success 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What I found most enjoyable about this segment is the fact that these two actors have been as brave on screen as they have in real life. Thank you Ms Foster and Mr. Downey...for your honesty on both sides of the lens. #variety #jodiefoster #robertdowney #myunfetteredadmiration
To this day, I adore Home For the Holidays. ❤ perfect movie.
She keeps saying I had my time but I would take her right now… so valuable ☺️💛🕊️
I could sit and listen to Jody talk forever! I love her so much!
