Anna Faris has shared how her 12-year-old son, Jack, has inspired her to embrace new adventures, pushing her beyond her comfort zone. The 48-year-old actress, who shares her son with ex-husband Chris Pratt, expressed her pride in being able to enjoy thrilling activities like roller coasters and water slides, all motivated by her love for Jack.
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Anna also opened up about the emotional journey following the devastating wildfires that claimed her Pacific Palisades home earlier this year. Despite the challenges, she remains optimistic about the future, stating, “We are going to rebuild. It will be a process, but we’re doing great.”
Though the experience of evacuating their home was surreal for Anna, she focuses on the positives. She recalled leaving behind cherished items and feels an emotional pang when memories resurface, but she is determined to move forward. “I really wish I could formulate something profoundly original, but we’re doing great. The kids are really excited about [rebuilding our home].”
Faris also acknowledges that many others were affected by the wildfires, demonstrating her empathy and understanding of the community’s struggle. As they embark on this journey of rebuilding, her family, including her two stepchildren with husband Michael Barrett, looks forward to the new beginnings that lie ahead.
