The recent premiere of Jodie Foster’s new movie Nim’s Island marked the first time the actress’ two children were allowed into a screening of one of their mother’s films.

Foster’s kids, Charles, nine, and Kit, six, were forbidden from leaving the actress’ trailer on the set of her recent vigilante movie The Brave One, in which she plays a woman who embarks on a revenge mission after she is brutally attacked. So Foster was relieved she could finally take her kids to family film Nim’s Island’s premiere over the weekend.

She says, “It’s the first movie (of mine) my kids ever saw at a movie theater, the first premiere they’ve been able to go to. “The last movie (I made) they couldn’t even see the commercials. They came to the set but had to stay in my trailer.”
