Jennifer Coolidge openly revealed the reason she never had children.
The 61-year-old actress reflected on her decision not to become a mother in a cover interview with Britain’s GQ. Coolidge told this outlet that her friends suggested she adopt children, but she thinks she would be better suited to being a stepmother.
“I’m very, very immature,” said the Legally Blonde star. “I think that’s what stopped me from having kids because I’m kind of a kid. If I had kids, maybe I should have grown up.”
