Los Angeles, Feb 1 (NationPress) Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon has shared that her children Ava, Tennessee, and Deacon are not particularly fond of her movies.
The 48-year-old star revealed to E! News: "My kids tend to steer clear of my work. Just last night, my son told me he had no idea I made a living through humor. He said, 'I just didn’t realize. You’re funny at home - kind of.'"
Witherspoon also mentioned that one of her sons was astonished by the audience’s laughter at her recent film, ‘You’re Cordially Invited’, according to femalefirst.co.uk.
The actress, who stars alongside comedian Will Ferrell in the movie, stated, "After watching the film, he exclaimed, 'People were laughing at your scenes.' I replied, 'Yes.'"
In addition, Witherspoon has noted that her parenting approach has been influenced by her own parents.
The Hollywood icon, previously married to Jim from 2011 to 2023, shared on the ‘Good Inside with Dr. Becky’ podcast: "I gained a lot from the assignments I didn’t submit or the demerits I received, leading to my detentions.
"I was even suspended in fifth grade for chatting in class and being disruptive, as well as passing creative notes to my friends.
"My parents didn’t say, ‘Oh, she didn’t earn that.’ They let me experience it and feel uncomfortable. I believe that learning from mistakes is an essential lesson you shouldn’t take away from children. It would be unjust to deny them the discomfort of the situation."
Earlier this month, Witherspoon and actor Will Ferrell showed off their dance moves to Lola Young’s song ‘Messy’, a trend popularized in November by Sofia Richie Grainge and Jake Shane.
In a post shared on Witherspoon's TikTok on January 24, the pair donned matching black and gray outfits, according to People magazine.
The video featured explicit language and quickly spread to Richie Grainge's TikTok feed, where she commented, "Life. Made.”
