Gervais Didn’t Think His Jodie Foster Joke Was Offensive

Ricky Gervais says that he didn’t think his joke about Jodie Foster’s “beaver” was over the line. Gervais told TMZ, “I don’t think anyone thought it was offensive, did they?” Foster herself looked like she was laughing about it herself during the show. As for Jodie’s teenage boys hearing the joke, Ricky said he thinks they had a “good sense of humor” about it. Jodie’s always been very private about her personal life and never confirmed her sexuality one way or the other, though it was reported that she broke up with her rumored longtime partner a few years ago.
