Star in Hollywood-Dad in the Suburbs

We sat down for an interview with Adam Parker, son of Hollywood superstar Ranger Parker, to find out what it's like to be the child of a famous parent.

What's your dad like?

He's not a star at home. He's just Dad. He washes the dishes and vacuums the living room. He takes me to school every morning. He's very easygoing, so he has a lot of good friends.

Do you want to be an actor when you grow up?

No, I want to be a doctor like my mom. I think she's very kind. She helps so many kids around the world and gives a lot of money to charities. She got top scores on all her medical exams because she's really intelligent.

What about your sister?

Jessie wants to be an actor because she thinks all actors do is sit around and then act a little bit. But my dad sometimes has to get up at 5 a.m. to work. Jessie's pretty lazy to be honest. She's very unreliable as well. She rarely keeps her promises.

What do you and your dad do for fun?

We help out at a local children's hospital. We know everyone there, and they're all really nice. I always go even when my dad isn't here. The children get upset if I don't go.

They think I'm helpful because I do a lot of things for them.
