Ricci, Jolie Discuss Kids’ Acting Aspirations

Christina Ricci, star of 'Yellowjackets', has shared her son Freddie's confusion about her fame, recalling his childhood questions about her celebrity status. Despite Freddie's interest in acting and frequent visits to set, Ricci does not want him to become a child actor, citing logistical challenges and concerns about the impact of fame on children. She believes acting is an art form that should be pursued with maturity, and once Freddie is an adult, he can choose to explore it further. Similarly, Angelina Jolie revealed that her children, despite having been exposed to filmmaking, are not interested in pursuing acting as a career. Jolie noted that her children engage with the arts in other ways, such as dance and theater, but prefer to stay out of the limelight. Both actresses emphasize the importance of protecting their children from the pressures and potential pitfalls of the entertainment industry.
