Celebrity parents such as Kristin Cavallari and Sarah Michelle Gellar rose to stardom on television — and have since shared what their kids thought about the projects.
Cavallari, who starred on MTV’s Laguna Beach and The Hills, opened up about how her three children, Camden, Jaxon and Saylor, discovered the shows.
“Jay [Cutler] put it on thinking it was really funny … when they re-ran it a few summers ago,” Cavallari exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2020, referring to her then-husband. “Just a couple of minutes. I, of course, was cringing the whole time. When they’re older, I’m sure at some point they’ll stumble upon it, but I won’t be sitting them down saying, ‘Hey, guys. Wanna watch Mommy in high school?’ ‘No.’”
Gellar, for her part, collaborated with husband Freddie Prinze Jr. on movies including I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scooby-Doo. The couple, who tied the knot in 2002, later welcomed kids Charlotte and Rocky.
“I have to sort of cherry-pick which ones [we watch] because they’re still so young,” Gellar exclusively told Us in July 2021 about watching her hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. “We’re working our way slowly through it. And then they’ve gotten distracted by other shows.”
