Jodie Foster admits she never wanted to be an actor and still doesn’t: ‘It’s a cruel job’

Jodie Foster, whose first on screen appearance was in a commercial aged three, has admitted she never would have chosen the ‘cruel’ job of acting if it was her decision.

The 63-year-old reflected on her career at the Marrakesh film festival, lamenting her life’s work as a wrong decision made for her as a child whichshe doesn’t remember signing up to.

Further to this, Jodie is ‘not interested’ in acting ‘for the sake of acting’ and if stranded on a desert island, the last thing she would do is act.

Following Jodie’s first commercial aged three, the star went on to appear in more adverts, and got into sitcoms in the 60s, before landing her first film role aged six.

Aged 12 she went on to appear in Martin Scorsese’s 1976 film Taxi Driver, in which she played a child prostitute.
