Stewart was on hand to fete the 53-year-old veteran actress and delivered a heartwarming speech in which she recalled the time they worked together for the 2002 thriller, reported Ace Showbiz.
"I watched 'Taxi Driver' when I was far too young to watch it," Stewart said, referring to Foster's 1976 movie directed by Martin Scorsese.
"And I was already saying Jodie Foster was my favorite actress before I was cast as her daughter," she said, jokingly adding, "Technically she was cast as my mom. She came onto the movie late and I was there to show her the ropes."
"I was drawn to her before I met her, and trust me, she's way cooler than me," the 26-year-old actress added.
