Jodie Foster has revealed her first impression of Robert De Niro was that the iconic actor was “really uninteresting”— but it was all due to his method acting.
The Silence of the Lambs star recently opened up about meeting De Niro on the set of Martin Scorsese’s 1976 movie Taxi Driver when she was just 12 years old. She recalled how the Goodfellas actor was already an established actor at 32, but nonetheless “took [her] under his wing” so the pair could familiarize themselves as co-stars.
