Jodie Comer Reveals Note Jodie Foster Gave Her After Broadway Performance

There is nothing but love between the two most famous Jodies in Hollywood, Jodie Foster and Jodie Comer.

Comer, 30, appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday and discovered a kind note that Foster, 61, had sent her when he Silence of the Lambs star went to see Comer make her Broadway debut as Tessa Ensler in Suzie Miller’s play prima facie.

“Jodie Foster came… I remember coming off the stage and she tore a page out of Playbill and wrote a little note, a beautiful little note at the bottom,” Comer shared as she and co-star Alan Cumming talked about the differences between theater performances in New York and London.

The Killing Eve star didn’t share all of the message, but the way Foster signed the note was a sweet message of encouragement in itself.

“She signed it, ‘From another Jodie,'” Comer said. “I thought, ‘No, I’m the other Jodie,'” Comer recalled, laughing.

Comer performed in prima facie in London’s West End in 2022 before the show moves to Broadway in spring 2023.

On a British talk show, Comer and Cumming reflected on the differences between performing for British and American audiences.

“On Broadway, they clap before the show starts,” Comer said, admitting that, while polite, the enthusiasm is a challenge for actors who then have to rush to get their lines in on time.
