02 March 2021 Share with: Jodie Foster has shot down suggestions she played matchmaker to newly-engaged Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers after thanking the American football star in her Golden Globe acceptance speech. Weeks after the Green Bay Packers quarterback thanked the Oscar winner in his National Football League Most Valuable Player speech, Foster had the sportsman on her mind on Sunday night as she collected her latest accolade for her new film The Mauritanian. But after thanking Rodgers, USA Today reported Foster quickly dismissed rumours suggesting she had served as the go-between for the footballer and her co-star, Woodley. "I did not set up Shailene and Aaron," she said in the virtual Golden Globes media room 'backstage' after her big win.
