Jada Pinkett Smith and Liv Tyler on being working moms
Reign Over Me co-stars Jada Pinkett Smith and Liv Tyler spoke about what it was like working on the film with little ones back home to take care of. Jada says she was able to balance the two efficiently with help from husband Will and her mother looking after Willow, 6, Jaden, 8, and Trey, 14.
I have a great husband and a great mother. When I’m working, she’s helping me at home. At that particular time, Will wasn’t working so he could go pick the kids up and make sure they have all the chocolate cake they want for dinner [laughs and claps] ‘Yay, mommy’s working. Yay daddy!’ So I really think that’s how I’m able to do that.
As for Liv, Reign Over Me was the first film she made after having her son, Milo William, 2, with husband Royston Langdon, and she enjoyed her part-time shooting schedule.
I’ve had the great luxury of taking two years off from work which was amazing for me. I was so lucky I did that to be with my son. So, this was my first time back to work as a woman, a mom and I was a doctor, wow! [laughter]. It was great. I could go to set and work hard for a couple of days and then have a few days to be home.
