Jodie Foster and Sofía Vergara's "rivalry" made for some of the best entertainment at the 2025 Golden Globes — but don't get too excited, this isn't the kind of dramatic celebrity feud that the internet loves to devour. It's more of a playful banter, and honestly, the two seem to be having the time of their lives with it. After all, just like at the 2024 Emmys, they were competing for the same award, which Foster ultimately took home. But it turns out the rivalry doesn't stop with them — their sons are apparently getting pulled into the mix, too.

Foster and Vergara were both nominated for best performance by a female actor in a limited series, anthology series, or motion picture made for television — Vergara for "Griselda" and Foster for "True Detective: Night Country." When presenters Seth Rogen and Catherine O'Hara announced Foster as the winner, Vergara wasted no time heckling her from the audience. "No, no! Again! Give me one!" she joked. And Foster, ever the class act, laughed it off and gave Vergara a sweet shoutout. "I know, I know," she said. "The greatest thing about being this age and being this time is having a community of all these people, especially you, Sofía."

Foster kept the love going in her speech, thanking the cast and crew, but her biggest shoutout? Her son, Charlie, who seems to be dipping his toes into the acting world — just like Vergara's handsome son, Manolo. "More than anything, I want to thank my family because Kit, my scientist son, and Charlie, my actor son who is starting his career — hopefully, you understand the joy such joy that comes from doing really hard, meaningful, good work," she said. Watch out, Manolo — there's another nepo baby on the scene!

Will Charlie Foster give Manolo Vergara a run for his money?

Unlike Manolo Vergara, Jodie Foster's eldest son, Charlie, isn't exactly broadcasting his Hollywood ambitions — but that doesn't mean the interest isn't there. Apparently, Charlie had his sights set on stardom from a young age. Foster shared during a 2007 interview with More magazine that Charlie wasn't shy about asking for a little nepotism boost. "[He'll say] 'I want to be in movies. Why can't you get me a job?'" she said (via Men's Journal). "Then I say, 'You have to earn that. If you want to be an actor, you can start by doing a little theater.' Then he says, 'I'm not interested in that. I just want to be famous and see my face.'"

And it seems Charlie eventually embraced the craft — on his own terms. Like his mom, he attended Yale and dabbled in campus theater, with the Yale College Arts site listing him in several productions during his time there. While he hasn't made the leap into Hollywood — or at least not yet — Foster doesn't seem too keen on pulling strings for him. In fact, she's relieved he didn't dive into acting as a kid. "I know the perils of having a parent involved in your art form are too great," she told The Guardian in 2019. "My older son is getting more interested in acting now, and I'm glad he discovered it late. My younger son is really shy and I can promise you he will never be an actor." We can't wait to see what Charlie has in store!
