Jodie Foster told Robert Downey Jr she was “scared” for him because of his struggles with addiction, the actor has revealed.
Speaking to Esquire, as part of a profile interview with Downey Jr, Foster recalled a conversation the pair had in which she voiced her concern about the trajectory the actor was going down.
Downey Jr won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor earlier this year for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss in blockbuster Oppenheimer.
Foster directed the actor in her 1995 Christmas comedy Home for the Holidays, which coincided with the height of Downey Jr’s substance abuse.
