Melissa Joan Hart’s Sons Think Her Acting Career is ‘Weird’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Actress Melissa Joan Hart recently opened up about how her kids really feel about her career as an actress.
“They want nothing to do with it. They think it’s weird. And you know what, I kind of get that. They’re like, ‘It’s just weird. I don’t want to watch you on TV and I don’t want to watch you kiss another man in a Christmas movie,’” she told US Weekly.
Hart is referring to her movie DEAR CHRISTMAS, which released in 2020.
She previously told the outlet, “I was covering my son’s eyes and my husband’s eyes. And I was like, ‘Don’t look, don’t look.’ My son’s like, ‘Why are you kissing a different guy?’”
Hart shares sons Mason, 17, Braydon, 15, and Tucker, 11, with her husband Mark Wilkerson.
She’s best known for her role in Nickelodeon’s SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH, which aired from 1996 to 2003, but faith has always been an important part of her life.
“I always had faith in Jesus as my Savior and that God was out there looking out for me, and was always very faithful in prayer,” she continued. “I was always trying to read the Bible and trying to figure out how can I learn more.”
Even through difficult times, she’s trusted that God has a plan.
“Especially as I’ve gotten older and studied more of the Bible, I don’t take everything so seriously as I used to; it’s not life or death. God has a reason for everything,” she continued. “Without my grandmother passing away when I was 12-years-old, and without my friend dying at 32, and without some of the struggles that I’ve gone through in my life, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.”
Her faith is something she’s passed down to her sons. Hart previously told Movieguide that prayer is a very important practice in her family:
“We pray constantly. We pray over every meal. We pray every bedtime. We pray on every journey… We pray whenever someone in the family needs that… we pray for people that we know in the world that need it,” Hart continued. “Each night we take a different turn around the table praying and I love when our seven-year-old [at the time] just sas the funniest prayers, depending on which brother he’s mad at, he won’t mention them or dog instead of his brother. But no, we’re church going Sunday people and we’re Bible study people and, um, we really try to live a life based on what Jesus taught us.”
