“[Foster is] combining the proximity with strong eye contact too, which, if it weren’t a ritual between friends, as this seems to be, could suggest dominance or even conflict.”

According to James, the stars’ “small shaking movements” seemed to indicate that they were talking about an important subject and “emphasizing their words to each other.”

“Nicole actually seems to prolong the conversation, seeming to want to insist on her answer to whatever it was Jodie asked,” the body language expert concludes.
