Matthew Broderick Says Twins Are 'Pretty Tiring'

In his new film Wonderful World, Matthew Broderick portrays a has-been children’s folk singer and divorced dad struggling to maintain a connection with his only daughter. The latter aspect of the character held much more appeal for the real life dad-of-three than the former, he says in a new interview.

“Anything about a father and a kid becoming distant, definitely interests me a lot,” he explains. “The play I am doing now, The Starry Messenger, is about that too a little bit.”

Twins Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, 7 months, are “pretty tiring” yet also “pretty good,” according to Matthew, 47, who adds that the girls are good sleepers.

“My wife [Sarah Jessica Parker] was away working [on the Sex and the City sequel due out this summer] and I was doing the play, so we’ve had to leave them a lot, so we still have a baby nurse, too. So I have to admit we are not doing it all ourselves.”

In addition to the twins, Matthew and Sarah Jessica are parents to 7-year-old James Wilkie.

Wonderful World is in theaters now.

Stanley Tucci Says Son, Daughters ‘Don’t Really Like’ His Movies

That Stanley Tucci appears in The Lovely Bones comes as a surprise for many, considering the physical transformation the actor underwent to portray serial killer Mr. Harvey. While the audience will undoubtedly be repulsed by his actions in the film, Stanley says his real-life children Camilla, 8, and twins Isabel and Nicolo, 10, were no fans of his outward appearance, either.

“They saw me dressed up as Mr. Harvey,” he reveals in a new interview. “They were like [in a high-pitched voice], ‘Oooo. That’s really disgusting.’”

While Stanley, 49, has said previously that fatherhood made him hesitant to accept the role, at the same time, he was up-front with his children about what the role consists of.

“I just say, ‘And then the girl dies and I’m the person who kills her.’ They’ll say, ‘Why do you kill her, Dad?’ and I’ll say, ‘Because he’s a very sick person. OK, let’s go eat.’”

Camilla, Isabel and Nicolo “don’t really like to watch movies with me in them anyway,” Stanley adds. “I think because I’m their father they just want me to be me. When I was the bad guy in Kit Kittredge, my youngest daughter got really mad at me.”

Much more Camilla’s speed is “Truant Officer” — a game she and her siblings made up after watching an episode of The Little Rascals.

“I pretend to fall asleep and then they run away and I chase them and catch them. Then I put them in ‘reform school,’ which is the couch.”

All three kids are Stanley’s with late wife Kate Tucci.
