US coffee giant Starbucks has apologised to actress Helen Hunt for mistaking her for fellow actress Jodie Foster.

Yesterday, Hunt tweeted a picture of a drink she ordered from them, saying she asked the barista if she wanted her name.

Hunt says the worker then winked at her and said: "We gotcha" - before writing 'Jody' on the takeaway cup.

She then finished the tweet with the hashtag #JodieFoster, suggesting the barista believed she was Jodie Foster.

But now the coffee chain has apologised to the 52-year-old actress, tweeting: "Sorry about that! We hope the drink was still as good as it gets".

This is a reference to her role in 'As Good as It Gets', opposite Jack Nicholson, for which she won the Best Actress Academy Award.
