Jodie Foster, a two-time Oscar-winning actress, let her sons believe their mom was a construction worker when they were young. Oh, the things celebrities have to do to give their kids a normal childhood. Foster apparently had no interest in being the cool mom.

Jodie Foster's kids believed their mom worked in construction
One of the four panelists on The View asked the Taxi Driver actress about her decision to hide her real profession from their two sons when they were young. The actress replied, “I guess I just didn’t want them to know me that way. I wanted them to know me as their mom and the person who went away to work and stuff.”
“I just didn't want them to be confused about what I did for a living,” she added.
Reminiscing an incident that led to her kids thinking their mom worked with bricks and stones, Foster said, “I bought him (oldest son Charles Bernard) to set one day and I bought him a little plastic tool belt and stuff. And I was like, ‘Yeah, and this is this set and this set and this set’. And for a really long time, he thought I was a construction worker. He thought I did construction.” 
The actress was also asked if she watches any of her movies with her now-adult sons. Foster, 61 replied, “They have no interest in watching my movies with me. I think they’re going to catch True Detective, cause they’re really into that.”
The actress also said that she would never show some of her movies to her kids because she worries about them teasing her.
