But I think like I was saying to someone actually, I was speaking to Ron's brother about this weekend down in Devon where we spent Easter.

Uh, he was asking me about a TV show that we were maybe going to be on.

It was a Disney show that I think we had a bit of a lucky escape from because I feel very comfortable with like this level of, uh, fame.

If you like, it feels weird calling myself famous.

Cause I don't really, uh, relate to that word.

Um,

but I wouldn't want to be a Kardashian.

Like I wouldn't want to be on a forever reality TV show that never ends, that keeps growing, that keeps affording you more fame, more money, more design handbags, more cars, because more does not equate to happiness.

And I mean, I'm stating the obvious, people speak about this all the time.

But I think like when you get into that spiral, like it can become quite dangerous.

So sometimes I do think, especially as a parent, that it would be nice to have a bit more privacy.

And I do wonder whether I'm glad that I'm not, say, on a reality show with Leo because it wouldn't be fair for me to throw him into that.

without getting his permission.

I know we've brought him onto like the podcast and stuff a couple of times just for like little snippets and just, you know, to caveat that like when we brought him on for a Mother's Day episode, he had a really fun time.

Like he's exactly, it's like show and tell, isn't it?

Everyone wants to know what their parents do.

Often kids don't get to go into their parents' offices, but he thinks it's really fun.

He literally came on for like 10, 15 minute segments.

So it felt really manageable.

but we know what the impact of like a lot of exposure and a lot of screen time does to young kids and you only have to look at like Britney Spears or Vince Lohan or most child celebrities to see what the outcome is so I think it's fine like for us but and maybe you're at a slightly different part in your stage of life and like career than me maybe just because of the like child thing
