Anna Faris is embracing the scary parts of parenthood.
The Scary Movie star reflected on the “funny shift” she has experienced being mom to her and ex-husband Chris Pratt’s son Jack now that he’s officially a teenager.
“You go from manhandling them every day for like a decade, one way or the other,” Anna told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview, “to suddenly like, ‘Ugh Mom…’”
And what has surprised the House Bunny actress is that Jack, 13, isn’t the only one who cringes at the dynamic sometimes.
“It’s so humiliating looking for his approval,” the 49-year-old quipped. “I’m always like, ‘Hey, did you hear what I just said? That was pretty funny.’”
Meanwhile, Anna noted her teen has been “playing it cool” around his friends, too.
“He’s been turning down the music a lot as we approach the school or [an event],” she explained. “He used to not do that.”
Despite the typical teen angst, Anna—also stepmom to husband Michael Barrett’s two kids—admires what a “great kid” Jack has continued to evolve into.
