She began her career in Hollywood much younger than most do, at the age of three.
And Jodie Foster, who is still at the top of her game 50 years on in one of the toughest industries in the world, has revealed one of the more sobering experiences of her career.
The 53-year old actress and director told SBS’ The Feed earlier this week how a sleazy producer almost tried to take advantage of her when she was only 14 years old.
‘My mum was out of town’: Jodie Foster recalled how a Hollywood producer tried to arrange a secret meeting with her when she was only 14, so he could ‘see her body’
She said: ‘He called me at a friend’s house on the weekend where I was having a sleepover and he pretended that we had an appointment that I’d forgotten about.
‘My mum was out of town. He had me come to the appointment and he was talking to me and then asked me to take my jacket off and turn around so he could see my body.
The actress added swiftly, and with a laugh: ‘My agent went to his office and punched him in the face.’
The two-time Oscar winner was recently in Australia promoting her newly-directed film Money Monster, starring big names George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
The film is Jodie’s fourth turn directing.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on the red carpet at the premier in Sydney on Monday, Jodie discussed the casting process, saying Jack O’Connell was not her first choice.

The 25-year-old, who plays a disgruntled investor who takes George Clooney’s character hostage, has to do his audition over Skype to get the role.
‘He’s very British and he’s very young and my idea for the role was someone from Queens [New York City] who was 35 or 40,’ Foster said.
‘But the second I saw him I was blown away and couldn’t imagine anybody else.’
