All parents have hopes and dreams about how their kids will turn out, but Peter Sarsgaard is kinda militant about it. He really wants his and Maggie Gyllenhaal's daughter Ramona to enjoy soccer, and he's not taking no for an answer.
“Every child that I have must play soccer. I’m one of those
people who’s constantly chipping the ball over the kitchen island
trying to land it into a basket of Ramona’s toys — taking out wine
glasses and things.”
Being a pro soccer player was apparently Peter's first choice as a career, but he had to fall back on being a movie star instead. Bummer.
I guess it's a good thing that Peter wants to have a common interest with 2-year-old Ramona, but you gotta be a little weary of placing too many expectations on a kid. What if she likes a good American sport? Like football? What if she doesn't give a flip about soccer like the rest of us, and thinks that David Beckham is famous for being Posh's husband?
Will Maggie step in and allow Ramona to be her own person? I'm not too worried, it's kinda hard to imagine Peter being a super harsh parent.
