The “American Underdog” actress emphasized the importance of maintaining a relatively social media-free environment for her children, allowing them to experience childhood without the constant scrutiny of online platforms.
“Luckily, it’s not a thing anymore with them,” he said. “They’re only 11 years old. But I think it’s important to make sure they’re protected as much as possible and for them to be young without every moment of their life being documented.”
However, despite the success of his acting career, Paquin expressed openness to his children pursuing their own path, even in the entertainment industry.
Acknowledging the potential opportunity that might arise for them, he said, “If the opportunity came to work with amazing people, would I say no to them? Probably not. Look what I had to do — the people I met along the way were very extraordinary.”
