JODIE FOSTER - FOSTER REFUSES TO HELP SON BREAK HOLLYWOOD

Actress JODIE FOSTER has forbidden her young son from pursuing a career in Hollywood - because she is convinced he just wants to see his face on TV. The Panic Room star began her career in a commercial as the Coppertone Girl at the age of three - but has decided to turn down her son Charles' request to help him break into acting. She says, "The older one asks me at times if he can appear in a film or on television. I warn him that I'm not going to find him work. He can do theatre after school, if he wants. "Obviously, he's completely uninterested in theatre. What he wants is to appear on TV. I don't believe that he really wants to be an actor." The 45-year-old and her partner of 14 years, film producer Cydney Bernard, are raising sons Charles and Kit.
