Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…John Hinckley Jr. confessed he hasn’t kept up with Jodie Foster’s work in the near five decades since he attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan to impress her.
Specifically, in a sneak peek of the episode shared by Entertainment Weekly Tuesday, Hinckley told host Mark Joseph that he “just wish[es] Jodie Foster well.”
And that’s all I can say is just, I wish Jodie well, and I hope she has a good life.”
While reflecting on the incident that made him an infamous figure, Hinckley told Joseph he had pursued “delusional” thoughts.
“But I was believing those things at the time, so the best outcome would have been a union with Jodie Foster.”
