Related: Reese Witherspoon's Daughter Wins the Internet By Hilariously Channeling Her 'Legally Blonde' Character Carrere gushed over her son Jude, telling the magazine that he "doesn't love the spotlight" after the pair walked the red carpet together during the movie's premier. "He's more introverted, so he definitely won't go into acting or singing like I did," she shared, adding that he's a great artist. "I don't know what he'll do! Maybe become a doctor or work with animals. He's working with animals right now." While she doesn't know what Jude will do when he grows up, the proud mama says she knows who he is right now, telling the magazine that her son is "very matter-of-fact." "He knows who he is, and he's very happy." Not only that, but she congratulated her son for being a good friend to his peers.

While she didn't want to take too much credit for how her son, who she shares with ex-husband Simon Wakelin, turned out she is aware that she did a good job giving him the foundation he needed in order to grow into the good person he is today. "I did a good job with that. But I don't want to congratulate myself too much! He's his own person!" Well done mama! We think you should accept the credit where credit is due.
