Possible reasons why Jodie Foster thanked Aaron Rodgers in her Golden Globes speech

What's going on with Aaron Rodgers and Jodie Foster?

Earlier this month Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers surprised a lot of people by announcing during his NFL MVP acceptance speech that he was engaged to who we later found out is actress Shailene Woodley, who he had been dating for a few months.

Rodgers also confused a lot of people when, during that same speech, he thanked legendary actress Jodie Foster. It was just so random.

On Sunday night at the Golden Globes Foster won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Mauritanian and gave Rodgers a shoutout during her acceptance speech.

Because of course.

Here’s Foster thanking the NFL MVP:

So why did she do that? I’m not entirely sure (I really have no clue) but here are some possible reasons why:

1. She’s a nice person and thought it would be nice to return the favor.

2. Woodley is in The Mauritanian and maybe Foster somehow got the couple together or has been nice to them. Again, I have no clue and my research for this was done by reading tweets written by strangers.

3. Foster told Jimmy Kimmel a few weeks ago that Rodgers “knows I’m his biggest fan.” So maybe her love for the way Rodgers plays quarterback has inspired her to be even better at her job and for that he deserves a thank you. Again, I got NO CLUE. Wait, more research shows that she told Conan O’Brien a few years ago that she loved the Packers… so this could be it! Probably not, though.

4. She enjoys how random this all is and decided to keep it going to have more fun. Again, no clue. Though I feel like this one could be the one.

Twitter loved the shoutout:
