Not all actors want their kids to follow in their footsteps.
Several stars — including Jason Momoa, Emily Blunt and Drew Barrymore — have publicly spoken about the challenges of working in the entertainment industry and want their children to wait until they are adults to pursue a career in Hollywood, should they have the desire.
"My kids ask me all the time — they would love to be in film or on social media or sing or whatever. I always just say, 'School plays, theater camp, everything [yes.]' But being in the public eye, [no] until…' " Barrymore, who was a child star herself, told PEOPLE in April 2024.
The talk show host, who shares her children with ex-husband Will Kopelman, continued, "Then they say, 'Well, what's the number?' And I always say, 'I know you want an answer, and I know the fact that I can't give you one that's so specific isn't satisfying, but it's going to be a feeling. It's going to be when I think you're ready.' "
