It is believed that the rich and famous people literally adore their children, and the stellar offspring can only be envied. But this does not always correspond to the truth - even celebrities can abandon their children and admit that they do not like their own children. And they do it publicly. Some stars are even staunch childfree. We have compiled a photo list of actors who do not like children. These successful and famous people are unfamiliar with the feeling of fatherly love and motherly care.
Christopher Walken
- "Sleepy Hollow", "Blast from the Past", "Catch Me If You Can", "Deer Hunter"
The Hollywood actor doesn't like talking about his personal life. Christopher has been happily married to his wife Georgeann for more than fifty years, but the couple have neither their own nor adopted children. Walken's friends claim that the actor never felt the desire to become a father, and that his plans, neither in his youth nor in adulthood, included procreation.
Yuri Stoyanov
- "Silver Lily of the Valley", "The Man at the Window", "12", "The Pickwick Club"
Yuri left his first wife with two children and went to another woman. His sons, Nikolai and Alexei, were left without paternal attention, and Yuri was not particularly eager to communicate with them. The grown up children do not want to have anything to do with the star parent and bear the name of their stepfather. They could not forgive Stoyanov for leaving them and forgetting.
Clark Gable
- Gone With the Wind, It Happened One Night, Mutiny on the Bounty, Teacher's Favorite
The actor, whom everyone remembers perfectly for his role as Rhett Butler, although he played a caring father in Gone with the Wind, in his life belonged to people who do not love children. A short love affair with actress Loretta Young ended in an unplanned pregnancy. Gable was married, and such a relationship could put an end to her career as an actress. With Clark's approval, the woman left the child in the orphanage. If the mother's heart skipped a beat, and after a while Loretta took the baby from the orphanage, then Gable himself did not want to have anything to do with her daughter. The sex symbol of the mid-20th century never saw his second child - the actor died when his last wife Kay Williams was pregnant with her son.
Famke Janssen
- "Hostage", "Don't Say a Word", "Capture", "When They See Us"
Famke has long explained her position - she does not want to be responsible for the child. Janssen understands that motherhood is very difficult and she is not ready to have children. In the life of the actress there is a beloved dog, to which she devotes all her free time, and she has enough care for her.
Jacqueline Bisset
- "Honest Courtesan", "Dancing on the Edge", "Nice Trip", "At the Foot of the Volcano"
Bisset has repeatedly stated that she never wanted children. She planned to live life for herself, and she did. Jacqueline does not feel any regrets about her childlessness. The Wild Orchid star says she had enough of caring for her goddaughter, actress Angelina Jolie.
Oprah Winfrey
- "The Butler", "Spices and Passions", "Flowers of the Purple Fields", "Their Eyes Have Seen God"
Oprah was rumored to have had a child, but he died at an early age. After the tragedy she experienced, the actress became a convinced childfree. Winfrey broke up with men as soon as they offered her to give birth to a baby. She decided to devote herself entirely to her career and roles rather than motherhood.
Eddie Murphy
- "A Trip to America", "Dream Girls", "My Name is Dolemite", "The Nutty Professor"
The personal life of celebrities is always in sight - Eddie Murphy's father with many children does not recognize his daughter from singer Melanie Brown. In the upbringing of five official and two illegitimate children, the famous comedian also does not take much part. But Mel B ended up with the ugliest story. The actor told reporters that until he received a DNA test, he would not believe that little Angel was from him. And later he said that he would only want to meet with her when the girl grows up. As a result, the former lead singer of the Spice Girls is raising a child alone.
Renée Zellweger
- "White Oleander", "Diary of Bridget Jones", "Judy", "Cold Mountain"
Rene doesn't want to be a mom. The actress says that women who have given birth become voluntary hostages of their children. The only communication with the children, to which she agrees, is a short meeting with her nephews. Zellweger says there is a special beauty in the fact that these are not your children. It lies in the fact that they can always be returned back.
Winona Ryder
- "Black Swan", "Edward Scissorhands", "Dracula", "Age of Innocence"
Winona is a staunch childfree. She devotes her life to her career and social activities, and this is enough for her. The actress says that she herself feels like a child, and therefore even if she ever gets married, she is unlikely to want children.
Kim Cattrall
- "Police Academy", "Ghost", "Sex and the City", "Big Trouble in Little China"
Three unsuccessful marriages and a busy schedule made Kim a staunch loner. The actress admits that she has no idea how you can enjoy checking lessons or singing lullabies. Cattrall says living with a successful actress makes life around people unbearable. And if men can't stand it, then what can you say about children.
Lyubov Polishchuk
- "Quadrille", "Shirley-Myrli", "Intergirl", "June 31"
Domestic stars also abandon their children. One of the striking examples is Lyubov Polishchuk. The first marriage of the actress was not happy and ended in divorce. Polishchuk worked a lot and there was simply not enough time for her son Alexei. The woman sent the child to a boarding school "until better times." Fortunately for the child, “better times” have come after all - after the actress got married a second time, the boy was taken home. Alexei was then 13 years old. Despite the fact that he did not see maternal care in childhood, he did not hold a grudge against the star mother and took care of her until his death.
Helen Mirren
- "Queen", "Last Sunday", "Ghostly Beauty", "The Woman in Gold"
Helen voiced the possible reason for her dislike of children, and it is psychological trauma. The fact is that when Mirren was still very young, her school decided to show a film about the birth of children. The process seemed so nightmarish to the future actress that Helen vowed that she would never become a mother. The Oscar winner is still convinced that there is more terror and trials in motherhood than happiness.
Rupert Everett
- “The Importance of Being Earnest”, “A Midsummer Night's Dream”, “Ideal Husband”, “Best Friend's Wedding”
Many stars, despite their gay orientation, love children and use surrogate mothers in order to have descendants. However, Rupert Everett is not one of them - he does not understand what pleasure one can get from sleepless nights and children's screams. The actor says that the time spent at the cradle is best spent wisely.
Ellen DeGeneres
- Will and Grace, Crazy About You, Roseanne, Mister Error
LGBT Hollywood spokeswoman Ellen DeGeneres has never had warm feelings for children. The actress admits that in her family life with Portia di Rossi, she never had a desire to have a child. She says that if the thought of offspring comes to their minds, they would rather take the baby from the orphanage, but so far such thoughts do not come to them.
Elena Proklova
- "Dog in the manger", "Mimino", "Burn, burn, my star", "Remember me like this"
Actress and TV presenter Elena Proklova can also be included in the photo-list of actors who do not particularly love their children and did not take part in their upbringing. Elena got married for the first time when she was barely eighteen. After the divorce, Proklova left her two-year-old daughter Arina in the care of dad and ex-mother-in-law. Several times she tried to take part in raising a child, but these attempts were unsuccessful. Born 22 years later, daughter Polina received much more care from the famous mother.
