Actress Jodie Foster, who received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille trophy at the 70th Golden Globe award ceremony, used the platform to clear air about her sexuality, her love and also made a plea to spare her personal life.
She admitted that she had come out to everyone she had met, but regretted that a public declaration in the media was required, reports guardian.co.uk.
After teasing the crowd that she was going to make an announcement ‘that I’m a little bit nervous about’, Foster said: ‘I’m just gonna put it out there... I’m single.’
The 50-year-old said: ‘I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age. In those very quaint days, when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family, co-workers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her. To everyone she actually met.
‘But now, apparently I’m told, that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a primetime reality show. You guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo child.’
