Jodie Foster Suffers Very Embarrassing Blunder Live On The Today Show… Leaving Host Craig Melvin Unamused

Jodie Foster suffered a very embarrassing on-air blunder during her Today show appearance this week, which left host Craig Melvin forgetfulness.

The actress, 63, visited the show on Tuesday morning to promote her upcoming film titled A Private Life.

The new thriller, which hits theaters on January 16, will see Foster portray a renowned psychiatrist who starts investigating after the sudden death of one of her patients.

The movie is all in French, so Melvin asked the Taxi Driver alum to show off her ability to speak the language during her interview.

However, things turned extremely awkward when Foster made a serious mistake live on air.

During the segment, Melvin explained that the film marked a ‘career first’ for Foster as she took on a ‘leading role that’s completely in French.’

‘I don’t think a lot of people knew that you were fluent in French,’ he said, to which she responded: ‘Yeah, I went to a French school.

‘My mom put me in a French school when I was nine so I did everything in French – science, math, history, all that stuff,’ the star explained.

Melvin then asked Foster to teach him how to say ‘This is Today on NBC’ in French, which is when things went very wrong.

As Foster was giving him the lesson, she accidentally said CBS instead of NBC – one of the network’s main competitors.

‘No! Not CBS. NBC! Jodi!’ an exasperated Melvin told her.

‘Well, I don’t know…’ Foster said as she shrugged. ‘It’s the same letter (length).’

‘That’s a different network, Jodie! It was going so well,’ Melvin stated.

‘You can cut that out,’ Foster added, as Melvin reminded her: ‘No, it’s live.’

‘I’m so sorry,’ she told Melvin as she covered her face in embarrassment.

It comes months after Foster shocked fans were her youthful complexion at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The star looked like she had turned back time as she attended the event in September. Foster’s skin glowed on stage, as her forehead appeared wrinkle-free.

Afterwards, plastic surgeons who did not treat Foster weighed in on her fresh-faced appearance exclusively with the Daily Mail.

‘It doesn’t seem like Jodie Foster has done much, and it’s very hard to tell if she’s had any work done at all,’ Dr. David Pincus of New York’s Pincus Plastic Surgery said.

However, Dr. Pincus did notice a difference in her cheeks, adding: ‘At the Toronto Film Festival, her cheeks did appear a bit full compared to the past.

‘That kind of change can sometimes be the result of cheek filler, which is a subtle enhancement that restores lost volume,’ he continued.

Dr. Pincus explained to the Daily Mail that as people age, they ‘naturally lose volume’ in the midface area.

Because of this, it can cause the cheek area to look ‘flatter’ and ‘less contoured’ – even having the effect of making you look tired.

‘Cheek filler is designed to replace that lost volume, add contour, and create a youthful and balanced appearance,’ Dr. Pincus said.

‘What’s important is that, if done conservatively, it doesn’t change the overall character of the face, it simply restores what has diminished over time,’ he added.

Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr. John Diaz told the Daily Mail that if Foster had anything done, it was not something under-the-knife.

‘I do not see any evidence of facial surgery,’ Dr. Diaz explained. ‘Her eyebrows are not elevated, her midface looks unchanged from previous older photographs.

‘Her lower face and neck have lines, wrinkles, loose skin which suggests she has not had surgery.’
