Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, John spoke of how he took Hazel and Violet to see his new movie, DC League of Super-Pets, in which he voices the character of Batman.
"They were like, 'Wow! You're not an accountant," he quipped about the girls' discovery. "They loved [the film]." John added: "They were laughing very, very hard. I think up until now they didn't believe I actually was in the business because they'd never seen anything I've done. It's like A Quiet Place? Not yet. Jack Ryan? Things like that? Nope."

When asked if she and her husband would be open to their daughters following in their acting footsteps, Emily insisted: "God no—no! Please God keep them off the stage."
