Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Daughter Is A Jet Setter
Being a successful actress is awesome. Being a successful actress and a successful parent at the same time… well that’s kinda tricky. According to Maggie Gyllenhaal, it’s sometimes even kinda scary.
In a recent interview about her jet setting lifestyle, Maggie says that she sometimes worries that her daughter Ramona’s life it too chaotic.
While your child gets the opportunity to travel the world and have all kinds of unique experiences, they don’t really get the opportunity to be normal. Says Maggie:
“We’ve traveled around a lot with Ramona and, while there are some wonderful things about that, what a young child really wants is stability and routine; she wants a sense of home. We’ve been trying to protect that and it’s one of our biggest challenges.”
While both were working in the film industry, Maggie said her lifestyle was much more laid back than the one she and Peter Sarsgaard are able to provide for 3-year-old Ramona:
“I don’t think it was as intense as the life my daughter is leading, in the sense that my parents weren’t well-known,” she points out. “Yes, they made small movies, but we didn’t lead a big, glitzy, fancy life.”
“I think my daughter’s life will be more like that, although I’m trying to keep it as laid-back and calm as possible for her.”
For fans, it’s easy to forget that there are many levels to movies stardom and that not everyone gets to call all of their own shots. Maggie Explains:
“If we were Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, we could say, ‘Oh yes, I’ll make that movie, but it must be in New York and it must be filmed before midsummer break,’ but we’re not,” she notes in a new interview with the Herald Sun. “If Martin Scorsese calls and tells me I need to be in Nova Scotia for six months, then I probably need to do that.”
