LOS ANGELES, May 24 (UPI) -- Helen Hunt was mistaken for fellow actress Jodie Foster during a trip to Starbucks. "Ordered my drink @Starbucks Asked the barista if she wanted my name. She winked and said. "We gotcha" #JodieFoster," Hunt shared on Twitter Monday of how she received her drink with the wrong name written on it.

Alongside the post was a photo of Foster's name spelled incorrectly as "Jody" on the outside of the Starbucks cup.
Starbucks replied tweeting, "Sorry about that! We hope the drink was still as good as it gets," referencing Hunt's 1997 romantic comedy alongside Jack Nicholson.

According to Entertainment Weekly, this has happened before to Hunt. During a 1994 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, the now 52-year-old explained, "I'm recognized now for being who I am, rather than: 'I went to college with you' or 'Did you used to date my cousin?' or 'Are you Jodie Foster?' — which I got for a long time."
