Sarah Michelle Gellar Says Her Kids Find Her Work ‘Pretty Cringe’ — Except for This One Movie

Sarah Michelle Gellar Reveals Kids’ Reaction to Her Work

In a recent interview, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar opened up about her children’s perception of her work in the entertainment industry. The 47-year-old star, known for her roles in movies and TV shows, shared that her kids, Charlotte (15) and Rocky (11), whom she shares with her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. (49), don’t typically enjoy watching her on screen. However, there is an exception to their disinterest – they are fans of one particular movie starring their mother.

Gellar candidly admitted that her kids often find her work “pretty cringe”, suggesting that they believe they have better things to do than watch her on screen. She shared that they are more inclined to watch her friends’ performances instead. Interestingly, the actress revealed that her children particularly like her role in the movie “I Know What You Did Last Summer”.

The actress further disclosed that although her character won’t be appearing in the upcoming sequel of the movie, her kids are looking forward to seeing their father, Freddie Prinze Jr., in the film set to release this summer. Gellar mentioned that they had a wonderful family trip to Australia to witness the filming process, which was made even more enjoyable by having their close friend and director of the movie, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, onboard.

On a personal note, Gellar recently shared a nostalgic Instagram Reel showcasing her excitement and a tinge of melancholy as she prepared her son and daughter for their first day of school. With the background track of “Sorry Not Sorry” by Demi Lovato, the actress expressed her mixed emotions about her children growing up so quickly, especially with one heading to high school and the other to middle school.

Despite their maturing age, Gellar’s children still maintain their unique humour and spirit. Rocky went viral on TikTok in 2024 when he caught the attention of the crowd at a Chargers game with his impromptu dance moves displayed on the jumbotron. The video captured a moment of motherly reprimand when Gellar playfully nudged her son to calm down, showcasing a heartwarming and relatable family dynamic.

In conclusion, Sarah Michelle Gellar’s reflections on her children’s reactions to her work shed light on the typical parent-child dynamic that transcends celebrity status. The actress’s ability to balance her professional commitments with nurturing her family bonds serves as an inspiration to many. As Gellar continues to navigate her career and parenting journey, her genuine and relatable anecdotes offer a glimpse into the realities of balancing fame and family life.
