And I was like, It wasn’t!
He was like, Are you sure?
It was across the room so it was very much,this is obviously not real.

There was a moment of genuine,mom!
But you get over it quickly.
Fine, it might have been potentially scarring for a child, she concedes.

Maybe I’ll speak about it in therapy one day.
I didn’t see it as a flashy, exciting thing.
To cast Parker off as simply another nepo baby, though, would be woefully unwise.

I was so taken aback by the story, Parker says over Zoom shortly after Sundance.
I was in awe of Laura Chinn immediately.

Building the rapport came naturally.
Notably, Harrelson starred opposite his young costars mother in 2018sSolo: A Star Wars Story.
Me and her are fairly similar, so he and I got on so quickly, Parker says.

Just dont ask Harrelson about it.
He does not remember us meeting, she says.
An exhale is the way I would think of it, she says.
It was so sad, but really beautiful.
Parker has always loved storytelling.
I would always put on shows for my parents, she recalls.
For a while, quite intensely, I wanted to be a dancer.
I wish Id never said that!
He would come in and I would blush.
Yes, even Newtons own children find themselves completely mesmerized by her.
It was such an intense discourse.
Its a jarring place to be, the internet.
The internet feels like a safe space for people to be deeply hateful and it’s quite scary.
It can leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Its alsooccasionallya fun space to be, the internet.
Parker laughs when the subject of Pascal being hailed as theInternets Daddyis broached.
Its funny, she says of the discourse.
There are times when he feels paternal to me.
Hes protective of me, which I appreciate.
Sometimes Im like, Youre such a dad.
He’s so good looking and fun and charming.
But if he is welcoming of it, then I’ll welcome it with him.
(And there have been many.)
He was there at the exact right time and welcomed me with open arms.
Im so grateful for him.
But for now, Parker has her feet fully planted in theHow to Train Your Dragonuniverse.
(No, she cant say much about it.)
You never know what job you’ll do next, when your next job will be.
That’s definitely something that they’ve attempted to help me see as a positive rather than a negative.
It sounds like a healthy philosophy.
A prosthetic corpse certainly couldnt have taught it.
