Spa Weekend star Anna Faris exclusively shared with E! News the struggles she faced while raising her and ex Chris Pratt's son Jack, 13: "I always felt like I was kind of messing up somehow."
Anna Faris wasn’t quite sure how to approach being a mom.
In fact, the Scary Movie star admitted that she had some trouble relating to her fellow parents while raising her and ex-husband Chris Pratt’s 13-year-old son Jack.
“I didn't always feel like I fit in with the mothers of the parents of his friends,” Faris exclusively shared with E! News at the Aug. 7 premiere of Spa Weekend in Las Vegas. “I always felt like I was kind of messing up somehow. I know I'm doing something wrong here.”
Thankfully, the 49-year-old’s worries have been assuaged thanks to how wonderful her teenager is, especially as he “knows a whole lot more than I thought he did.”
“I am proud that he has a deep sense of justice,” she added, “and I find him just fascinating.”
And while Faris was unsure if she was “fundamentally well suited to be a mom” because she believed she was “an older mom,” she does feel truly honored to be raising Jack.
“I’m so lucky. I'm just so lucky that I have this incredible, fascinating boy,” she raved. “I hope I'm doing OK.”
And Faris wasn’t just feeling grateful for her family, but also for her Spa Weekend costars Isla Fisher, Michelle Buteau and Leslie Mann, as making the film helped her find a new appreciation for the strong women around her.
“I was a person who's never found female friendship easy to cultivate,” Faris explained. “I feel I'm fundamentally awkward. And I got to spend so much time with these women that I love and I admire.”
The opportunity also felt extra special for the House Bunny actress as she noted that she came of age at a time when women were often pitted against each other in comedy.
“It felt so special that I got to hug Isla and be like, ‘Dude, we have each other's backs,’” she said. “Michelle is just a pillar of a person, and Leslie is an incredible leader. She always does this outreach and she supported us. She brought us all together.”
