“I remember leaving the office and thinking, ‘That was not great.’”
Actor Jesse Plemons, best known for his roles in Breaking Bad and Fargo, is opening up about what it's like raising kids who have two famous actors as parents.
Plemons shares two sons, Ennis, 7, and James, 4, with his wife, actress Kirsten Dunst.
While the pair have both been in their share of iconic films, the list of productions that Dunst has been in includes a few more family-friendly options.
In an interview on the October 20 episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Plemons revealed the kids have been loving his wife's films as of late.
"I can’t compete with her kid movies," Plemons joked on the show. "You know, she has Jumanji and the list goes on. Small Soldiers they liked.”
He then went on to say that their sons were only "mildly excited" by his 2002 basketball-centered kids' film Like Mike.
However, Plemons then explained that despite loving Spider-Man, their youngest son, James, did not think it was cool that his mother was in the early 2000s versions of the films.
"There was a time when he kind of stayed in character, deep in character, as Spider-Man, all day, just webbing everyone," Plemmons shared. "But, yeah, [he] kind of, didn't seem that impressed that it was younger mommy?"
Plemons then added that the boys do have a series of Spider-Man action figures, including one of Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, but they are still not impressed by the fact that it's their mom.
These days, as Meyers pointed out in the interview, the couples' films are a bit less kid-friendly.
Plemons' newest film, Bugonia, is an R-rated sci-fi dark comedy set to hit U.S. theaters on October 24.
