Kristen Stewart holds Jodie Foster in a special place in her heart. She recently was featured on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” where she discussed her upcoming film “Love Lies Bleeding,” her experience watching the Oscars, and how much she loves Jodie Foster despite all the years that have passed since they first worked together.

Her face, I don't know what it is, man. There are certain people that you kind of hold forever, dude. It's not like we talk all the time.”
Foster and Stewart starred in “Panic Room” together, with them playing mother and daughter. The experience was Stewart’s first film, and she was 10 years old throughout the shoot. “ She actually threw me a birthday party when I turned 11 with a mariachi band. Yeah, she was like, ‘Don't forget. You're a kid.’” said Stewart.
“I was so obsessed with being on set and working and not going to school. I was like, 'I will make movies until I die.' And she was like ‘you should do anything but that because you're a real human being,’” she said.
Stewart reveals that Foster’s attitude felt good and that she now understands her more. “In retrospect, I understand because every time I see a kid on set, I'm like, ‘How about college, man? You maybe want to direct movies? You should explore all the options.’”
