Aaron Rodgers is full of surprises.
When the Packers quarterback was named in the NFL position for the third time earlier this month in his career, Rodgers coyly announced his fiancée – with actress Shailene Woodley – after only a few months of dating and Jodie Foster included in his thank you list.

Jodie Foster, the Oscar-winning actress? What’s her bond with Rodgers?
“He just knows I’m his biggest fan,” Foster said this week on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Well, Foster stars with Woodley in the upcoming movie “The Mauritanian,” so she may not even be his biggest fan on the set. Unless she might have suggested the couple. That part remains unclear.

Foster told Conan O’Brien in 2016 that she saw the Packers play every weekend and became addicted to the cheese portion of Packers fandom when she was introduced to the team by a friend. Rodgers included her in his list of people that make up his team off the field.
‘You see, he said’ my team ‘, even though he said’ off the field ‘. That makes me a Green Bay Packer, ‘Foster told Kimmel. “People say to me, ‘No, Jodie, that does not mean you’re part of the team. ‘But that does mean I’m part of the team. ‘
Foster told Kimmel she did not know Rodgers. It seems by chance that she and Woodley are in the same movie and they were both referred to, although Foster dropped the name and Woodley did not.

“I do not know if it’s a coincidence … and she’s fantastic,” Foster said. “So we spent a lot of time together in ‘The Mauritanian’ in a tent with a little air conditioning spitting on us, talking about our lives and recipes, and people we hate and things like that.”
After Kimmel added, “and the Green Bay Packers,” Foster conceded, “and the Green Bay Packers came up somehow!”
