“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.
