Anna Faris, the beloved star of the Scary Movie franchise, recently opened up about her journey through motherhood, particularly her experiences raising her 13-year-old son, Jack, with ex-husband Chris Pratt. At the premiere of Spa Weekend in Las Vegas on August 7, Faris shared her candid thoughts on the challenges she faced as a new mom.
Feeling Out of Place Among Other Parents
Despite her success in Hollywood, Faris admitted she often felt isolated from the other parents of Jack’s friends. “I didn’t always feel like I fit in with the mothers of the parents of his friends,” she told E! News. “I always felt like I was kind of messing up somehow. I know I’m doing something wrong here.”
Finding Comfort in Jack’s Growth
Fortunately, her feelings of inadequacy have been alleviated as she witnesses Jack grow into a remarkable teenager. “He knows a whole lot more than I thought he did,” she shared, expressing her pride in his character development. Faris highlighted Jack’s “deep sense of justice,” stating, “I find him just fascinating.”
Embracing the Journey of Motherhood
While reflecting on her role as an older mom, Faris revealed she has grappled with whether she is “fundamentally well suited to be a mom.” Nevertheless, she ultimately feels honored to be raising Jack and cherishes the journey of motherhood.
