The actress had previously said she was irritated by Gen Z in an interview with 'The Guardian.'
Jodie Foster is clarifying her comments about Gen Z.
Speaking to ET's Kevin Frazier on the red carpet at the 81st Golden Globes on Sunday at The Beverly Hilton, the 61-year-old actress qualified her previous remarks by now saying she "loves" Gen Z and that her two sons belong to that generation.
"I adore them. They have all this freedom, which is wonderful but we didn't have. We didn't know we could say no, for example, and it's just created a miraculous, confident, different, authentic people," she said. "But it also makes them, you know."
Frazier then interjected and offered "very difficult sometimes," to which she agreed saying, "Yes."
"But you need them in order to make your phone work," she quipped. "What can I say."
The comments come on the heels of her interview with The Guardian, in which she said she's irritated by Gen Z.
"They're really annoying, especially in the workplace. They’re like, 'Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I'm gonna come in at 10:30 a.m.'" she said. "Or, like, in emails, I'll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they're like, 'Why would I do that, isn't that kind of limiting?'"
