Jennifer Connelly on Saying Yes to First Animated Film

There was “no saying no” to 9 for actress Jennifer Connelly, she says in a new interview with Film.com. After her two children –Kai, 12, and Stellan, 6 — saw the short version of the now full-length animated major motion picture, they made their wishes clear! “They really loved it,” she recalls. “They were very excited about it.”
For her part, Jennifer, 38, says that saying “yes” was easy — “because of the children.” Noting that “it’s not really a kid’s movie,” however, she says that both boys view 9 quite differently.
“Really, my older son loves [the full-length film] and my younger son loved the short film. My younger son is six and he’s seen parts of this. Because I’m familiar with the film I saw it with him and there was a lot of my covering his eyes. I think just left unsupervised it would be too frightening for him to see the film. So my older son thinks it’s really cool.”
Kai is Jennifer’s son with ex-boyfriend David Dugan, while Stellan is her son with husband Paul Bettany.
9 is now showing nationwide.
