Macaulay Culkin<\/a>‘s children had a hilarious reaction to seeing their mother in Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Brenda Song reveals how her and Macaulay Culkin’s children react to their careers<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old star, who has sons Dakota, five, and Carson, three, with the Home Alone actor, has revealed her kids’ reaction to seeing her in the 2006 Disney Channel kung-fu fantasy action movie, and admitted they didn’t quite “understand” that she was playing a role.<\/p>\n
She told the Not Gonna Lie podcast: “Mac has\u2014behind my back\u2014shown them things that I’ve been in. Our oldest was really into like superheroes and like Ninja Turtles…<\/p>\n
“and Mac showed them [Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior]. And my son, because they’re so used to watching videos of themselves, and like digital age, they’re so confused.<\/p>\n
“They’re like, ‘Why is Mama flying across a warehouse all doing kicks? Why is Mama doing back flips?’<\/p>\n
\n“And they were like, ‘Can you do that, mama? Can you do that right now?’ And I was like, ‘How do I explain this to the kids?’ And I looked at Mac, and I was like, ‘How dare you do this to me?'”<\/p>\n
\nInstead of setting things straight, Brenda joked she was happy to let her sons believe she has those skills.<\/p>\n
\nShe quipped: “Now, ‘You better listen to mama because otherwise mama will be doing flying sidekicks from across the room.’ “<\/p>\n
\nHer eldest son was asked at school “what does your mama do for work?”, and he had a simple answer.<\/p>\n
\nBrenda said: “And the teacher told me, he goes, ‘Oh, my mama talks. She talks for a living.’ He’s not wrong, but that’s what he thinks.”<\/p>\n
\nTheir boys are similarly in the dark with their famous dad Macaulay, 45, and they can’t quite grasp that he played Kevin McCallister as a child star.<\/p>\n
\nBrenda, who can currently be seen in Netflix series Running Point, explained: “It’s really weird for them because I think they just think this was like us when we were younger, the way that they look at pictures of them when they were younger.<\/p>\n
\n“For me, it’s a little bit different because I feel like I still look the same, [but] for Mac, they don’t understand that he is Kevin.<\/p>\n
\n“They love Home Alone. They watched it for the first time this past year. They love it. They don’t understand that that’s their papa.”<\/p>\n
