LOS ANGELES — Oscar-winning
actress Reese Witherspoon has said that her children Ava, Tennessee and Deacon
are not fans of her films.
The 48-year-old actress told E! News: "My children
actively avoid my work. I literally have my son tell me last night that he did
not know I made a living being funny. He was like, 'I just didn't realise.
You're funny at home - sort of.'"
Witherspoon shared that one of her sons was surprised by the
audience's reaction to her new movie, 'You're Cordially Invited', reports
femalefirst.co.uk.
The actress, who stars in the film alongside comedian Will
Ferrell, said: "When he sat through the movie, he was like, 'People were
laughing at your stuff.' I was like, 'Yeah.'"
Meanwhile, Witherspoon previously said that her parenting
style has been inspired by her own mom and dad.
The Hollywood star, who was married to Jim between 2011 and
2023, said on the 'Good Inside with Dr. Becky' podcast: "I learned so much
from the paper I didn't turn in or the demerits I got, so I got detention.
"I was suspended from school when I was in fifth grade
for talking in class and being disruptive. And writing creative notes and passing
them to my friends.
"And my parents didn't say, ‘Uh, she didn't deserve
that'. They actually let me sit in it, and feel uncomfortable. So I think,
learning from failure is actually a valuable tool that you can't take away from
kids, right? You rob them if you don't let them sit in the discomfort of the
experience."
Earlier this month, Witherspoon and actor Will Ferrell put
their dancing shoes on to groove to Lola Young’s song ‘Messy’, a trend that was
made popular in November by Sofia Richie Grainge and Jake Shane.
For the post, which was shared on Witherspoon's TikTok
account on Friday, January 24, the duo wore coordinating black and gray
outfits, reports ‘People’ magazine.
The video contained explicit language. The clip quickly made
its way onto Richie Grainge's TikTok feed where she commented, "Life.
Made”.
