Alicia Silverstone is very close to her eleven-year-old son. However, the famous actress who starred in Clueless as Cher Horowitz revealed one disturbing truth about something she does with her underage son on a regular basis. Silverstone has built a post-Hollywood career around her vegan lifestyle and atypical parenting techniques and spoke up on a podcast about one unusual thing she does with her eleven-year-old son every night.
In the podcast episode, Silverstone revealed that her eleven-year-old son, Bear, still sleeps in the same bed as his mother every single night of the week. Because she really loves being very close to her son, she wants the young man to remain in her bed for as long as possible so she can still feel motherly toward Bear and shower him with affection and love.
“I’m a loving mama. I believe in love, I believe in nature, and our society is scared of nature and love,” she said.
Silverstone confessed that she was probably going to be heavily criticized for revealing that she still sleeps in the same bed as her eleven-year-old son, but she confessed that she didn’t care if people thought she was weird for keeping Bear as close to her as possible – even when they are supposed to be sharing separate sleeping arrangements.
Ever since Bear was a little baby, Silverstone has been treating Bear with special attention. She allegedly chewed his food for him before he ate it like she was some sort of mother bird.
“He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating,” she wrote as a caption of an image of Bear when he was ten months old.
Silverstone is also actively raising her son as a vegan. She relishes that she is able to share a plant-based life with her son so she can be healthy and shower the boy with love and attention in all manners of life. She wants her son to understand where his food comes from and that no animals were harmed in its creation since it is all processed from plants.
Bear was her love child of hers with then-husband Christopher Jarecki. Bear was born in 2011 when the couple was still together. They filed for divorce about seven years after he was born due to failings in their relationship that forced them to co-parent bear as a team. She revealed in one interview in the past that she and her ex-husband Christopher successfully co-parent Bear and get to see the child on a daily basis, helping him grow into a successful young man although he still sleeps in his mother’s bed at age eleven.
In addition to sleeping in his mother’s bed, Bear also practices yoga with his mommy and cooks alongside her. The mother-son duo also go on walks together and practice a vegan lifestyle. While some people think it is unhealthy for Bear to still sleep with his mom, the pair seem to have a pretty healthy life together.
