Zoe Saldana was honest about why her children haven’t seen the Avatar films yet.
In a recent conversation with E! News at the los angeles premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ashes on December 1, the Oscar-winning actress revealed that she wants her sons to be fully prepared before watching the film.
“I want them to be able to experience Avatar when they are absolutely ready,” the 47-year-old mother of three: twins Cy and Bowie, 11, and Zen, 8, whom she shares with husband Marco Perego.
Zoe went on to say, “You know, my boys are gentle. They’re beautiful flowers. I mean, they’re resilient like you wouldn’t imagine, but they follow themselves and I respect them for that.”
However, the actress revealed that her 11-year-olds do watch Adam Sandler’s films as guilty pleasures.
“They like Adam Sandler movies, which sometimes aren’t suitable for 11-year-olds.”
Zoe also mentioned that her children have watched other of her work.
“One of them has seen one of the Guardians movies,” the proud mother noted. “And they just started seeing the Transformers movies because they love Transformers so much.”
But Zoe’s kids would be able to watch the Avatar movies in about a year, as she added: “My older kids told me, ‘In a year, Mom, we’ll be ready for Avatar, we promise.’ I’m like, okay.”
