The actress said The Sunday Times that “it’s a strange task to navigate, you understand.” In May 2021. “Hazel, my eldest daughter, returned home with [my husband John Krasinski] and I. She asks, “Are you famous?”… It’s not something we’ve ever said in our house. It’s not something we talk about.
The Mary Poppins returns star explained that someone had said it to her, adding, “I was like: ‘Um. Not really, I don’t think I’m. Haze, did someone say that? She replied, “Yeah,” but she wouldn’t reveal much more. But it was weird. It’s weird.”
Blunt and the alum didn’t want Hazel or Violet to find out about their parents’ lives in the spotlight. They wanted to keep them grounded. They want to prevent them from feeling “anymore important or special” or [feeling like] there’s more attention on them than other children.
The London native said that the children would not follow their parents’ lead one day. Please God, please keep them off the stage.
Timberlake is also determined to ensure his and Jessica Biel‘s sons Silas (and Phineas) can “stay normal kids as long as they can.”
In a January 2021 episode of “Armchair Expert”, DaxShepard said that the “Cry Me a River” singer stated that “The hope is to just keep instilling it in them that they got really fun jobs but that it’s not who they are.” I hope that it will have more weight down the line.
Grammy winner Silas noted that he had warned his son about the possibility that his participation in the Trolls franchise could lead to unwanted attention from school children. Silas’ classmates confirmed that Branch was the one who told him.
Shepard said that he had similar conversations about the actress’ Frosted role with his and Kristen Bell ‘s daughters, Delta and Lincoln. The Bless this Mess alum stated, “I know that you are proud of your accomplishments and I should be able say that. But, I’m just warning that that will probably make other children jealous.” They won’t be able to deal with that feeling.”
