Alicia Silverstone clears the air about why her son cut his hair
Alicia Silverstone won Instagram in November when she posted video of her nine-year-old son, Bear, trimming his long locks on camera.
“Yes, It’s true. Bear cut his hair!!” Silverstone wrote in the caption. “Was it his decision? Yes. Did I cry inside as I watched him get it cut? Maybe … but did I try to stop him? Not for one second.”
So one month after Bear’s close shave, how is he liking life with short hair? “He likes it,” Silverstone tells Yahoo Entertainment during a conversation about her new comedy Sister of the Groom. “I mean, he seems to like it! He has mentioned to a few people, ‘I think I made a big mistake,’ but then he’s also says he likes it. I, on the other hand, am like ‘Where’s my baby?’ But I keep it to myself.” (Watch our video interview above.)
Silverstone is a hands-on mother in many ways, but when it comes to her son’s grooming choices, she’s happily hands-off. “It’s his little body, and he’s nine,” she says, beaming with pride. “What’s so beautiful about it is watching him grow and try something. And that’s all it is — he’s trying something. He wanted to see what it feels like to have short hair, and now he does and it’s great.”
The actor also set the record straight about why Bear chose to cut his hair in the first place. Initially, reports circulated that he made the choice after being bullied at school, but Silverstone makes it clear that was an unrelated incident.
