Jodie Foster -- New York City, NY, USA © J. Bailey / PR PhotosThe 'Panic Room' star claims there is a different side to her calm personality which is "filled with rage and fear" and could emerge at any moment.She said: "For a while I've wanted to tell a story that, inside you, there's this stranger filled with rage and fear, and it's been there all along. And one event can bring that out. I don't one hundred percent understand why, but I'm not scared by that kind of darkness."Foster explores this idea in upcoming film 'The Brave One', in which she plays a talk show host who is savagely mugged and witnesses her fiancé's fatal beating before picking up a gun and setting out for revenge.The 44-year-old actress has previously starred in several films exploring violent and disturbing subjects - including 'Taxi Driver' and 'Silence of the Lambs' - and the 'The Brave One' director Neil Jordan also believes Foster has a dark side to her personality.He said: "I've been making movies for more than 25 years and I've never met an actor who has a dark side like Jodie - and who is so unafraid to explore it."Foster's co-star Terrence Howard admits he finds the actress' dark side intimidating.He said: "I was scared to death when I met her. In 'Taxi Driver', she was a 13-year-old who made Robert De Niro nervous. You look at her and you know she could light up a room or burn down the house."'The Brave One' is set to be released later this month.(C) BANG Media International

Bad reporting at it's worst! She didn't claim there's something wrong with her! She claimed she'd always wanted to tell a story like that, meaning she wanted to play that part. How did this story make it past the editor?
