Zoe Saldaña had to let her son know the right time to listen to Kendrick Lamar.
The actress talked about navigating new music interests in her household as one of her sons expresses curiosity about the rapper.
The Emilia Pérez star, 46, recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she was asked if she had watched the Super Bowl.
While she admitted she hadn’t tuned in—taking the day off instead—she shared that her son was particularly interested in the halftime show.
“He looked amazing, and he’s such a great artist,” Saldaña said of Lamar’s performance. “Cy, one of my twins, asked me that night. He goes, ‘When will I be old enough to listen to Kendrick Lamar?’”
Saldaña, who is a mom of three, gave her son an age estimate before he could explore Lamar’s music.
“I would say like maybe 14, 15. But he’s 10 now, so yeah,” she explained. “But he’s a wonderful artist. I told Cy he’s a wonderful artist and when you’re old enough, you’ll be able to listen and enjoy his music.”
Although they didn’t watch the game together, the actress shared that other ways she and her sons spend quality time, by getting haircuts at home.
“I was just with my boys because my husband’s traveling and my boys have really long hair, so I was cutting their hair,” she said.
She revealed that her kids prefer their mom as their barber rather than visiting a professional.
“Well, they don’t want to go to the barber,” she continued. “I beg them. ‘Why don’t we just go to breakfast and go to the barber?’ And they’re like, ’No, you cut it!’ So there I was, cutting their hair like five inches to one, four inches to the other, three inches to…I was just cutting.”
