Speaking to E! News <\/em>Monday at the Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/em> premiere in Los Angeles, she revealed that despite starring in her third film in the Avatar franchise, her three children \u2014 11-year-old twins Cy and Bowie, and Zen, eight \u2014 with her husband Marco Perego-Salda\u00f1a have not yet seen any of the movies. <\/p>\n\u201cI want them to be able to experience Avatar<\/em> when they are absolutely ready,\u201d she told the publication. \u201cYou know, my boys are gentle. They\u2019re beautiful flowers. I mean, they\u2019re resilient like you wouldn\u2019t imagine, but they pace themselves, and I respect them for that.\u201d<\/p>\nWhile they may not have seen Pandora yet, her sons do have a favorite type of movie they typically gravitate toward. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re into Adam Sandler movies, which are sometimes not that appropriate for 11-year-olds,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy older ones told me, \u2018Like, in a year, mama, we\u2019re going to be ready for Avatar, <\/em>we promise.\u2019 I\u2019m like, okay,\u201d Salda\u00f1a said.<\/p>\nThe latest Avatar installment follows in giant footsteps as 2009\u2019s Avatar<\/em> still holds the title of the highest-grossing movie in history with $2.9 billion worldwide. Its 2022 sequel, The Way of Water,<\/em> was another success, bringing in $2.3 billion. Now, with stars Salda\u00f1a, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Kate Winslet reprising their roles, first reactions to Fire and Ash<\/em> suggest that the installment will bring another box office hit to the series.<\/p>\nThe mother of three has previously spoken about her children when she revealed in 2022 that her boys keep her \u201cout of trouble,\u201d which is what makes her look more youthful.<\/p>\n
\u201cI go to bed early. I eat better. I sleep longer sometimes. I\u2019m back to sleeping,\u201d she said in an interview with People <\/em>at the time. <\/p>\nSalda\u00f1a explained she previously had issues with sleeping and added: \u201cRight before I had [children], I was very much of the policy of work hard, play hard. And I loved my life like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I feel like having children happened at the right time for me because in your mid-thirties to late thirties, early forties, that\u2019s when you go to bed thinking that you\u2019re one thing, and you wake up feeling like something else.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I started having kids during that time. So that saved me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
