Jessica Biel is sharing how a comment about her appearance from her son inspired her to get philosophical.
The โBetter Sisterโ star, 43, who shares sons Silas and Phineas with husband Justin Timberlake, opened up in a TikTok video about how one of the couple’s boys told her she looked “old.”
โI woke up this morning and my son looked at me and said, โYou look old.โ Yeah, thatโs what I got this morning and I was trying to figure out how to respond,โ said Biel, who relayed the story while walking outside. โAnd I said, โOh well, itโs OK. Weโre all getting older. Youโre gonna get older. Iโm gonna get older. Weโre all getting older.โโ
โAnd he said, โI hope you donโt look like a grandma,โโ continued Biel.
โAnd then I was like, โOh my God, I am gonna look like a grandma one dayโ and I told him that,” she continued, adding, โThen it really got me thinking about, wow, life is moving fast and grandma days might be shortly on the horizon.โ
Biel then shared a word of advice with other moms, telling them, โSo, I donโt know. Let your kid ride his Tonka truck all up and down the dirt road for as long as he wants to because one day youโre gonna be Grandma. Youโre not gonna be doing all that s—,โ Biel said. โOr maybe you will.”
“I hope Iโm the grandma who drives around with the Tonka truck. A Power Wheel. I hope so. Anyway, hereโs to looking old,โ she concluded.
Biel wrote in text over her video, “pov: your son calls you old.”
She jokingly captioned her post, “They don’t lie. Even when you really want them to.”
Many of Biel’s followers commented to say they agreed with her take on aging.
“It’s a blessing to grow old and look like a grandma,” wrote one. “Some do not get that opportunity. It’s all in perspective.”
“If we are lucky we all see the grandma days!” added someone else.
Others had fun picturing Biel and her actor-musician husband with grandkids in the future.
“You and Justin grandparents. So cute,” gushed one.
