Maya Hawke shared her mother Uma Thurman's advice to 'keep your shoes on' when working with Quentin Tarantino, referencing his known fascination with feet in his films, which he dismisses as good direction rather than fetishism.
Quentin Tarantino allegedly paid a woman working at a strip club $10,000 to lick her feet until they looked like 'prunes.' The senior staffer at the Hollywood nightspot Crazy Girls, who did not specify when or where the event took place, made the graphic claims on a podcast. Tarantino has been accused of having a foot fetish for decades and his films frequently feature close-up shots of people's feet. His muse, Uma Thurman, has previously let the director drink champagne out of her stiletto at an event honoring his career.
Quentin Tarantino explained that he doesn't include sex scenes in his movies because they are "problematic" and "a pain" to shoot. Despite his lack of nudity in films like "Kill Bill" and "Django Unchained," some of his stars have pointed out his apparent foot fetish. Tarantino defended his work, saying that many good directors have included feet in their movies. He is currently on his book tour and gearing up for his 10th and final directorial film, "The Movie Critic," set to release in 2024.
Foot Orgasm Syndrome is a rare condition where a person experiences sexual orgasmic sensations in their foot. A 2013 case study explains how a 55-year-old woman living in the Netherlands reached out for medical attention due to the “undesired orgasmic sensations originating in her left foot.” Her doctors took scans of her foot and ankle, which revealed nothing too unusual. Through a number of different scans and tests, they couldn’t settle on an explanation but hypothesized that the issue may be stemming from her nervous system. The idea is perhaps not as out-there as you might assume. Vilayanur Ramachandran, director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, once proposed some people have foot fetishes because the part of the brain that processes the sensation people get from feet is close to the part that registers genital stimulation.
