- Sarah Michelle Gellar revealed she has rules in place for her teen daughter who wants to act.
- "She can't be in front of a camera until she graduates high school," Gellar explained.
- According to the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star, 13-year-old Charlotte is already interested in acting.
Sarah Michelle Gellar may have gotten her start in the performing arts at an early age, but that doesn't mean she's going to let her children follow in her footsteps quite yet.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter's Mikey O'Connell, Gellar revealed that her 13-year-old daughter Charlotte Prinze is already interested in pursuing acting professionally.
"Does it scare the shit out of me? Well, we have rules in place. She can't be in front of a camera until she graduates high school," the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star told O'Connell.
"She says to me, 'That's unfair. You were a child actor.' Yes, I was. But I was not the child of two famous parents," Gellar added.
And even though Charlotte visited her famous mother on set while Gellar was working on the film "Do Revenge" and the new series "Wolf Pack," the teen still wasn't allowed a cameo.
"I'll never stop her from being on a set," Gellar said. "But she's just not going on camera while she's living under our roof. There'll be different expectations for her, so she needs to learn everything there is first."
Gellar has two children with her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr.: Charlotte and 10-year-old Rocky James.
The couple first met on the set of the 1997 film "I Know What You Did Last Summer," but didn't start dating until several years later. After dating for over a year, the two got engaged and tied the knot in Mexico in 2002.
