John Hinckley Jr. has admitted, in a recent interview, that he no longer follows Jodie Foster's film career four and a half decades after attempting to assassinate then President Ronald Reagan in hopes of impressing her. The interview appeared on "Mark Joseph Show" and was previewed by Entertainment Weekly. In the interview, Hinckley expressed his hopes for Foster's well-being, stating he "just wishes Jodie Foster well" and "knows she's doing quite well."
The 25-year-old Hinckley, at the time, had a delusional belief that marrying Foster would be his ultimate goal. He claimed these thoughts were delusional at the time, but he held onto them, believing they would be fulfilled if he successfully attracted her attention. Hinckley also mentioned that he could have potentially targeted Foster herself, but fate intervened and he shot Reagan instead.
Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent over three decades in a psychiatric facility before being granted conditional releases in 2016 and full freedom in 2022.
