Kristen Stewart pays tribute to Jodie Foster

"Twilight" star Kristen Stewart paid tribute to actress and filmmaker Jodie Foster for getting her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The 53-year-old accepted the honour at the unveiling ceremony on Wednesday, in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollywood, California.

Her "Panic Room" co-star Stewart she recalled the time they worked together for the 2002 thriller, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I watched 'Taxi Driver' when I was far too young to watch it," Stewart said, referring to Foster's 1976 movie directed by Martin Scorsese.

"And I was already saying Jodie Foster was my favorite actress before I was cast as her daughter. Technically she was cast as my mom. She came onto the movie late and I was there to show her the ropes," she added.

 

Calling Foster her "first adult friend," Stewart went on praising the "The Beaver" director.

"There's nothing self-serving about her. She cares about people. She's quite the opposite of the type of person that is gravitated towards being an actress," she said.
