Dakota Fanning wants to work with Foster



Dakota Fanning is desperate to work with Jodie Foster.

The 16-year-old actress shot to fame when she was a child, appearing in 2001 movie I Am Sam, opposite Sean Penn. She has since worked with Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, Mike Myers and a host of other A-list stars but still dreams of collaborating with Jodie.

“I feel so lucky to have been able to have the opportunities that I’ve had. I know some people aren’t that lucky but I want to work with Jodie Foster,” Dakota said. “I really admire her, her career and what she’s done. I can only hope to be just a little bit of how great she is.”

Dakota is pleased with the way she has transitioned from child star to adult actor. She has now decided she wants to do movies for the rest of her life, but says she will never take her success for granted because she knows fame is fickle.

“I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life, but I think that everything can end tomorrow,” she told the British edition of OK! magazine. “You have to live your life for the moment and not take it for granted. I don’t think you ever feel completely secure.”
