He’s been talking about it for a while now, but he recently said another reason for remaining childfree: “Me and my wife seem to get a lot more active enjoyment out of not having kids than anyone I know seems to get out of.”
There’s Stevie Nicks, who blamed PTA meetings: “It’s like, do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don’t want to go to PTA meetings.”
Anjelica Huston was real blunt about it. She told the Guardian, “I would probably have been miserable.”
She told British Vogue (via Vanity Fair), “[Motherhood] was not my destiny. I kept thinking it would be, waiting for it to happen, but it never did, and I didn’t care what people thought. … It was only boring old men [who would ask me].”
But now we may have a new supreme when it comes to child-free, marriage-hating celebs: Patricia Clarkson.
Patricia, 63, told the Table for Two podcast her reasons for never getting married or having kids, and those reasons are going viral.
“Look, I have so many sisters who have beautiful children, and they now have beautiful children. I love being an aunt, I love it more than acting, which is odd — okay, they’re on par [with each other]. But I’m telling you, these are gorgeous children, but that doesn’t have to define every woman,” she said.
“Let me tell you who’s the coolest about it: my mother! My mother said, ‘Patty, I just don’t want you to wake up at 50 and be unhappy.’ I woke up at 50 in stilettos and a thong. I’ve had a great, sexy-ass life,” she laughed.
“I’m just saying, I love being an aunt, I love being a sister, I love being a daughter, I love being a great best friend. I’m a very good friend, I think. It’s not what I wanted to define me because I didn’t want to fail,” she finished.
Waking up at 50 in a thong and after enjoying a sexy-ass life? Sounds good to me!
