Jodie Foster recently stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she dished on working with Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese as a child star.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the NYAD star appeared on the ABC late night show on Tuesday night (Jan. 9), where she reflected on attending — and actually singing at — her first Oscars when she was only “eight or nine” years old.

Host Jimmy Kimmel asked Foster about when she received her first Oscar nod, which she revealed was when she was just 13, after shooting Taxi Driver — in which she portrayed a 12-year-old prostitute named Iris — with co-star De Niro and director Scorsese.

Kimmel addressed an interview of Foster’s, in which she shared that De Niro and Scorsese were “definitely scared” of her while filming the 1976 film, to which she noted that she “understand[s].”

“You know, I was 12, and they had to say things like, ‘Can you pull his fly down?'” she recalled. “It was a little awkward.”

However, she highlighted that she “had made a lot more movies” than the two of them at that point.

“So I was like, whatever,” she added. “Just move over.”

She reiterated that “they were a little scared,” and said that “Scorsese especially couldn’t stop giggling.”

“He just kept giggling every time he talked to me,” she continued. “He’d start giggling and De Niro had to take over.”

As for if Scorsese still giggles when she talks to him, Foster shared that the Killers of the Flower Moon filmmaker “giggles with everybody.”

“He’s kind of a cartoon character,” she quipped.

And in terms of the “legends” who have scared her over the course of her nearly lifelong career, Foster name-dropped Lucille Ball, whom she met while working on The Lucille Ball Show (also referred to as The Lucy Show), as “the scariest.”

“But not when she was like younger and happy and doing comedy,” she clarified. “She was like rough and older, and she was super scary. And I don’t think she liked kids that much.”
