John Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, shares a new message for actor Jodie Foster in a recent appearance. Speaking on the “Mark Joseph Show” (as reported by Entertainment Weekly), Hinckley says he wishes Foster well.
The Independent and Variety both refer to the motive behind the 1981 attempt, noting it was aimed at impressing Foster. The outlets also include Hinckley’s comments about Foster’s work, with The Independent reporting he does not “really see her movies.” Both accounts present the remarks as a renewed public statement many years after the attack, which remains widely covered as one of the most prominent political and criminal cases in U.S. modern history.
