Zoe Saldana wishes her children had no idea she was an actress.

The 46-year-old star and her filmmaker husband Marco Perego Saldana have three sons, twins Cy and Bowie, 10, and Zen, eight – try not to separate their lives in case it affects their upbringing, but it comes with them getting to know her showbiz identity.

Speaking on the issue of “process parenting”, she said: “I wish I had kids that didn’t yet know what I do, or during my kids’ formation my work had grown up with no-one asked.”

“My husband and I really made this decision not to let separate our lives.”

“I feel like my work is kind of like in the backyard, so they do understand it, and then they don’t.”

“They care about it, and then they kind of don’t.”

“Much like in soccer language. So, it’s very much like, it’s kind of like the World Cup of acting, but they’re simple kids and they get what they get.”

She admitted she wanted to be “more present” in her children’s lives after her blockbuster career in Hollywood saw her become the first performer of Dominican descent to win the Best Supporting Actress award for her role as attorney Rita in the musical comedy film, Emile.

She explained:

“The moment I was on set, I really wanted to go back home and take my kids to school, and be a little more present in their lives because this leap of faith was worth it.”
