When she's not working, Reese Witherspoon is a full-time dedicated mom to her two kids, daughter Ava, 11, and son Deacon, 7. And although plenty of kids would think having Witherspoon as their mom would be considered cool, the 34-year-old recently revealed to MTV News while promoting her upcoming film "How Do You Know" that it's the other way around: Her kids are the cool ones.
"They're into the White Stripes right now. They're both learning to play the electric guitar, and it's kind of awesome," she said. "They're playing 'Seven Nation Army' around the house."
An 11-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy into the White Stripes? We have to agree, she has cool kids.
"That's the thing too: Having kids that grow up in L.A., the sophistication level is totally different," she explained. "They are only into songwriters who write their own music, and I'm like, 'Wow, I was not that sophisticated as a child.' "
Witherspoon once told Parents magazine that her kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe keep her grounded. "Realizing you're not anything special to the kids is always a great sort of reminder that you're just a regular person," she said. "A regular embarrassing old mom. They know what I do for a living — that I'm an actress — but they haven't seen any of my movies. Yet."
Speaking of being embarrassing, Witherspoon said her daughter once asked her not to embarrass her at a Carrie Underwood concert. "She said, 'Mom I really appreciate you taking me to the concert, but will you please not embarrass me in front of Carrie Underwood by singing because she's a real singer and you're just, like, a movie singer.' "
