Gary Busey was more than twice Jodie Foster's age!

The film hit theaters June 1980 (Jodie born Nov 1962, making her 17 at the premiere). So, Jodie was most likely 16 during production while Busey was 35-- not that I think Busey minded the age difference during the filming of their love scenes. I mean, it doesn't matter how old you are, you can't disagree that Jodie was a HARD 16 (schwing).

She aroused millions of men in Taxi Driver and she was only 12 (as Seth McFarlane put it, a HARD 12)-- hell, Hinckley shot the President because of this matter!

Yeah, no question that Jodie was hot in this.

Hope Busey took advantage of the situation and had a little spicy fling with her off set. If there was any time period in her life where she'd actually sleep with a man, that would have been the time to do it-- I wouldn't doubt that Jodie was still figuring out her sexuality at this age and thus more likely to date a few men. Would have killed to be Busey in those scenes!

I don't know... I've always thought Jodi Foster is way too tough
Was she ever a girl? I mean even when she was a girl she feels more like a middle aged woman
I never found her attractive. Great actress though!
