Back to film: Jodie Foster is back in a film – Hotel Artemis, which opens Friday. And on Monday evening the film’s star Jodie Foster stopped by Live With Jimmy Kimmel to talk her return to acting

Early days: The blonde Oscar winner also shared that she has been acting since she was three years old and that her older brother got her into the business

The 55-year-old star hobbled onto the show with a cane because she said she had a bad ski accident. ‘You ski, you end up having this,’ she said.

She also said she has titanium in her leg and a new ACL. ‘I kind of like it, is that wrong?’ she asked.

Foster also revealed she grew ‘blocks away’ from Hollywood Boulevard and her mother warned her if she ever want to go to there she would be kicked out of the house.

She never went because she said she was the youngest and the good one.

And then she talked child fame. ‘I started when I was three,’ Jodie said about acting.

Earning her keep: ‘I started when I was three,’ Jodie said about acting. Here she is seen on Napoleon And Samantha in 1972

‘My brother was an actor and he started because the kid across the street was an actor and that’s what you did when you grew up in Hollywood,’ she said.

‘My first feature was when I was six.’

When asked if she did a lot of TV shows, she said: ‘I did every bad 70s show, Nanny and the Professor, The Partridge Family, Gun Smoke, Adam 12.’

On a farm: In 1973 she stared with Vera Miles in One Little Indian

Jimmy then asked if she watched the shows she was on and she replied: ‘Oh yeah, I was a full TV baby.’

And there was never a time she was not in Hollywood: ‘I was always in the business, I don’t remember my life before acting. I went to a regular school, a French school but I had a tutor when I was on set.

‘I thought it was great to have an international education and I went to a good college and that was good.’

When she was asked if she influenced other actresses to go to college she said she didn’t really know.

A big film for a little kid: In 1974 she made Paper Moon with actor Christopher Connelly

But she said she thought it was good to have that education: ‘Whatever you do between the ages of 18 to 22 is seminal,’ she said.

Foster wore a hot pink suit with a black shirt underneath.

Earlier she went to a screening of her film.

The Taxi Driver star recently revealed she was ‘still recovering’ from the nasty fall, but proved to be in good spirits as she discussed her new crime thriller at the Ace Hotel.

Aid: Foster was forced to use a crutch during the press trail for her new film on Monday – after taking a tumble on the ski slopes earlier this year

The Silence of The Lambs star did not let her chic sense of style falter with injury, as she arrived at the event in a smart tailored suit of deep berry pink.

The double-breasted jacket featured clean-cut lapels, which gave a glimpse of her polka dot shirt underneath, while the trousers skimmed her leggy figure to the floor.

She maintained the glamorous feel with a sleek hairstyle and smoky eye, but kept comfortable in flat leather trainers as she hobbled her way to the Q&A.

No stopping her: Arriving at the event with the crutch under one arm, the star then swapped the aide for a sleek black cane as she emerged onstage to discuss her new film

Jodie was last seen on crutches in May – which she revealed was due to a recent operation to fix a nasty injury from a holiday on the slopes.

She told WENN while promoting the film last month: ‘I had a skiing accident a while back but they waited for the surgery until a couple of weeks ago, so I’m still recovering.

Feeling good: Jodie proved to be in good spirits as she chatted to guests, showing no signs of strain from her injury

‘I feel pretty good. They have all these bionic parts, so I think it will heal fine and I’ll be skiing by next year.’

Jodie first drew attention to her injury when she attended the Oscars with crutches in March.

Her representative later confirmed to People magazine that she hurt herself in February, after taking a tumble on the ski slopes.

Despite her need for crutches, the actress had proved to be in good spirits at the awards ceremony, by joking Meryl Streep was the reason behind her injury.

When Jennifer Lawrence asked Jodie what happened to her leg, she simply quipped: ‘Streep!’

Pointing to the Oscar winner in the audience, she then added: ‘She I Tonya’ed me!’ – in reference to Margot Robbie’s film about shamed ice skater Tonya Harding, who was accused of hiring a hitman to break her rival’s knee.

Not letting the injury get in the way of her working commitments however, Jodie has enjoyed a busy few weeks promoting Hotel Artemis.

The flick, based in a riot-torn Los Angeles, follows Jodie as a nurse, who runs a members only hospital for criminals that is disguised as a hotel.

‘It’s really original,’ Jodie told MTV of the project. ‘It’s not like any movie I’ve ever made or any movie I’ve ever seen. It has a real freshness and originality to it.’

The crime thriller co-stars Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum and Sterling K. Brown, and is slated to hit cinemas on June 8.

Say cheese! The stars and Drew later beamed for cameras after promoting their new project, which will hit cinemas on June 8
