Actress Drew Barrymore is a child actress so she knows what happens to child stars so she has put a ban on her kids acting.

Drew Barrymore won’t let her children become child stars. Read on why…

CelebNMusic247.com reports that Drew Barrymore isn’t keen for her kids Frankie, four, and Olive, six, to become actors just yet.

The ‘Miss You Already’ star and her ex-husband Will Kopelman won’t allow them to start acting time any soon. However, Drew says that she will be “so supportive” if they wanted to follow in her footsteps in their later life.

Barrymore explains:

I’m not going to let them be kid actors. That’s so not their journey. If they want to be actors later in life, I would be so supportive of it. Can you imagine me being a mom who is pushing her kids out there? That’s not going to happen.

The 43-year-old actress’ and mom says:

Frankie’s really into Legos right now, which I’m really excited about because I mistakenly thought it was a boy’s toy and it turns out she’s really good at it. Her sister’s really good at Magna-Tiles. They’re both very good builders.

Meanwhile, Drew previously revealed her daughters want to go into acting.

Drew said:

They’ve got the Barrymore gene! We went to The Sound of Music, they’re like, ‘I just want up on the stage.’ We go to the Amazing Bubble Show, they’re like, ‘I just want on the stage.’ … That’s where they’re gonna, in the healthiest way, develop who they really know they wanna be. As of today, I would say Olive is a vet and Frankie’s a ballerina.

She concludes by saying she tries to pitch her constant working to her children in a positive way:

It’s all in the tone. I had an enlightened conversation with a girlfriend 10 years ago, and she made me aware, in a few sentences, and then I emulated it for myself in this modern time of my life. Which is if you say, ‘I have to go to work, but you know what? I’ll be back soon,’ to a child, that’s like work is the bad man taking you away from them.
