Julianna Margulies Hopes Son Stays Away From Acting

Emmy Award-winner Julianna Margulies might have found fame and fortune as an actress, but she’s that hoping 2-year-old son Kieran Lindsay, 2, will blaze a different trail.

“Listen, whatever he wants to do I will support wholeheartedly,” the City Island star tells Moviefone, “but I hope he doesn’t want to become an actor.”

Quick to clarify that she loves what she does, Margulies, 43, notes that it is nonetheless “a very difficult profession to break in to.”

She adds, “So if he does want to be an actor, then at 18 he can make that choice. Until then, he’s going to school.”

Citing her role in the film as her favorite to date, Margulies, who also stars in The Good Wife, says that the timing of the shoot couldn’t be better.

“I had just had my baby, and it was so good to be out of my own skin for a minute, and get back into acting and to sort of find my identity again as an actor,” she explains. “And to be able to play someone so out there, it was just fun to disappear.”

Bruce Willis Vows: ‘The Kids Come First’

Everything Bruce Willis needed to know about love, he learned from daughters Rumer, 21, Scout, 18, and Tallulah, 16.

“I would step in front of a car for them,” the actor tells Men’s Journal.

“I’ve peeled every layer off and come to the bright core: it’s just a light … it’s when you can put someone else’s welfare ahead of yours. I can look at how I interact with my kids and say, ‘This is love. I know what it is. I got it.’”

When his marriage to the girls’ mom, actress Demi Moore, collapsed in 2000, Willis — pictured here with new wife Emma Heming — says that they made a conscious choice to stay friends for the sake of their daughters.

Noting that “you can’t spend a decade with someone and raise kids with her and come away unfeeling,” he recalls,

“I just put my head down and said, ‘The kids come first. And we’ll do whatever it takes and maybe even laugh about it’ … Once you start putting the kids first, it isn’t uncomfortable. Bravery is stupid a lot of times, but there’s nothing stupid about this particular subject.”
