Jessica Biel shared in an exclusive interview whether her and Justin Timberlake’s sons, Silas and Phineas, have seen any of her movies.
Jessica Biel recently shared that her sons, Silas (10) and Phineas (4), haven't watched any of her movies yet because she feels they are too young. She even joked that if their friends have seen her work, their parents should be fired!
“My kids have seen nothing, I don’t think,” she revealed in an exclusive interview. “And if their friends are seeing my stuff, their parents should be fired. Because they shouldn’t be watching this stuff.”
Her The Better Sister co-star, Elizabeth Banks, had a different experience—her sons have started watching her films, leading to some awkward moments. Banks recalled receiving a text from a friend saying their son had watched the 40-Year-Old Virgin, which made her realize she needed to act accordingly around him.

Biel also praised Banks for her versatility in the entertainment industry, admiring her ability to write, direct, produce, and act. Their upcoming show, The Better Sister, is described as a Shakespearean-style murder mystery with deep family conflicts.
Sounds like an exciting project.! Elizabeth and Jessica enjoy seeing each other's body of work, even though the two movie stars are content to wait many years before their kids become interested in their work.
“I think I admired,” Jessica said to her costar, “the fact that legitimately you do everything. I mean writing, directing, producing, acting—I’m just a huge fan of people who can do that. And I think about wow, she’s got two boys at home and she’s directing as well.”
The former member of 7th Heaven went on, "I was really awestruck at what you can accomplish." You kind of represent my professional aspirations.
For Elizabeth, however, the final nail in the coffin came when Jessica played Candy Montgomery in Candy.
“When I saw the wig and the glasses in Candy,” the Pitch Perfect star revealed, “I was like, ‘This is a woman who is gonna go there in every way. There’s no fear here, she is underrated.’ Like people don’t understand how fierce she’s gonna be.”
Elizabeth said, "Knowing that it was her, getting to be alongside her in this—I felt reassured," in reference to her collaboration with Jessica on The Better Sister. For example, my wonderful partner is traveling there.
And a companion she was seeking, as the pair play sisters with a tangled background in the epic murder mystery.
“Basically, it’s a whodunnit,” Elizabeth clarified. “There’s a dead body in the beginning and by the end you’re gonna know who done it. But there’s also this really intense family drama. It’s almost like Shakespearean or Greek tragedy. It really has the bigness of those kinds of things.”
On May 29, The Better Sister makes its Prime Video debut.
