Ava Phillippe on Finding Her Own Way Outside of Mom Reese Witherspoon and Dad Ryan Phillippe's Spotlight
Though Reese and Ryan have been in the public eye since the mid-1990s and spent a decade as an It-Couple after starring intogether, modern fame is a whole other kind of animal. So when it comes to helping their daughter navigate the wilds of being a famous child-of-celebrities, "I think my parents are honestly learning all the time what the right way to do it is," Ava observed.
"My parents have always encouraged me to choose the path that's right for me and, you know, guide me along the way to make better choices than I might make," she explained. "I'm so grateful for that. That is such a privilege to have parents that support you in that way and to want you to be who you truly are meant to be. So I think I'm trying to do that."
And while working with Pat McGrath was a dream come true , Ava isn't sure what she wants to do next. She hasn't ruled out venturing into acting one day—"I don't see it out of the question, certainly"—but she isn't putting all of her eggs in any one basket."I'm not so sure on where I'm going yet," she explained, miming a winding road with her hands.
At school, she's really learned "not to take everything personally, especially socially," she said. "We can get wrapped up in our heads that everything is about us in some way or another, in hurtful ways, in helpful ways and everything in between. But I really think the lesson I'm learning is, let people be who they are and do your best with what you know."
Her next job is in all likelihood just around the corner, but in the meantime, "I'm exploring," she said, "and that's so awesome. I'm so lucky to be able to do that and to find things that work for me. I can't wait to see what's next."
