Personal life
Foster was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Gillian and Stephen Foster, who own several restaurants, bowling alleys, and night clubs.[2][3] His older brother, Ben Foster, is also an actor. Foster's parents, whom his brother has described as "free-spirited, Vietnam-protesting hippies", relocated to the small town of Fairfield, Iowa after he was born, after their Boston home was burglarized while they were present.[4][1] Foster is Jewish; his paternal grandmother emigrated from Russia to escape pogroms.[5][4]
