Bailee Madison chats up her new film, Parental Guidance, in this new on-set interview.
The 13-year-old actress plays Harper in the movie, which follows Artie and Diane Decker (Billy Crystal, Bette Midler) who are called in by their daughter (Marisa Tomei) to help care for their three grandkids.
Bailee shared, “My character Harper is kind of very uptight. She always wants to please and wants to do her best. The fact that she has these grandparents who are ”˜Come on, let’s go to the mall’ and ”˜Let’s have fun,’ she’s like ”˜No, I need to have my violin ready, I need to practice, and I need to be someone who you can be proud of.’”
Parental Guidance opens everywhere on Christmas Day (December 25th).
Bailee Madison speaks so well for a 13-year-old. Many of today’s kids don’t have any vocabulary.
You’re so right. It’s so undeniably noticeable !
