She explained that it "scared the [expletive]" out of her, her, and that she and her husband were firm that it wouldn't be happening anytime soon.

"Well, we have rules in place," she continued. "She can't be in front of a camera until she graduates high school. She says to me, 'That's unfair. You were a child actor.' Yes, I was. But I was not the child of two famous parents."

Sarah was firm on her daughter not venturing into acting till she's old enough

Sarah, who indeed began acting at age five, noted that she and Freddie have taken pains to leave their kids out of the spotlight; in fact, neither Charlotte nor Rocky are allowed to have social media accounts yet.

She recalled how her daughter would accompany her to the set of Wolf Pack, but wasn't allowed a walk-on cameo.
