Although Hilary Duff has enjoyed a long and successful acting career, she’s not pressuring her children to follow in her footsteps. During an interview on “TODAY,” Hoda Kotb pointed out that her son Luca is about the same age his mom was when she started working. She asked Duff if she would help him pursue a career in entertainment if he expressed interest.
The mom agreed that she’d support him but had more to say. “I don’t think I would push them in that direction,” Duff explained. “I really wanted it and my mom, thank god, she listened, you know and really knew I was serious about it. But I worked really hard at it; I begged for acting classes. I begged to go to random cattle calls where there’s like 500 kids.”
While she is busy acting, one thing Duff isn’t quite ready to return to at the moment is singing. Not only does she not want to uproot her three children in order to tour, but she thinks too much time has passed since she released any new music. “My last record is coming up on seven years, and the music industry was changing so much at that time and has now changed so much, and I’ve been out of it for such a long time,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I would just be like … trying to find my footing.”
