Jesse Grant / Getty Images (There's an opening sentence I never thought I'd write.) If you're out of the loop, people have long speculated that Quentin has a thing for feet given how much airtime they get in his movies. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood featured shots of Margot Robbie, Margaret Qualley, and Dakota Fanning's bare feet, Uma Thurman went barefoot in that iconic Pulp Fiction dance scene, and Quentin famously cast himself as the person who slurped tequila from Salma Hayek's toes in From Dusk Till Dawn.

There's a lot of feet in a lot of good directors' movies. That's just good direction. Like, before me, the person foot fetishism was defined by was Luis Buรฑuel, another film director. And Hitchcock was accused of it, and Sofia Coppola has been accused of it." Kevin Winter / Getty Images With all this in mind, Maya recently revealed that her mom, Uma Thurman, had some very interesting words of wisdom for her about working with Quentin. Stephane Cardinale - Corbis / Getty Images Appearing on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast this week, Maya was asked if her mom had "any advice about working with Quentin." She hastily replied, "Keep your shoes on," before laughing. Good Hang with Amy Poehler / Via youtu.be Amy absolutely lost it, too.

"The speed at which she answered ๐ญ" read one comment with over 18,000 likes, while another person echoed, "SO QUICK TO ANSWER ๐๐๐" Good Hang with Amy Poehler / Via youtu.be Meanwhile, some people found the remark pretty "creepy." "This would be wholesome if it wasn't so creepy," one response read, while another person echoed, "I think they meant for this to be funny but it just comes off as weird and creepy."
