Jessica Biel doesn’t want her son following his dad’s musical footsteps

The mum-of-one has said she worries about her son Silas’ future as a ‘struggling musician’.

Justin Timberlake will not be passing the pop superstar baton onto his son, if wife Jessica Biel has anything to do with it. The 35-year-old spoke about her fears about her son following in his dad’s footsteps in an interview recently, and it seems she’s really thought it through. “I would like our baby to inherit Justin’s charm and his sense of humour,” she told News.com.au. “There are many qualities I’d love him to get from Justin. But there’s one thing I don’t want for him. I really don’t want him to be a musician.”

The actress went on to admit that her work is against her and that her statement was ‘sort of a joke’, but said the life of a struggling musician is not something she wishes for her two-year-old son. “I watch what Justin goes through and he is at the top of his game. He has access to work with any producer and he can actually get songs on the radio,” she explained. “And this is from someone who makes great music – he tours and makes it look very easy. But he’s been working for years and years and years to get to where he is.”

However, Jessica says that it’s a lot of hard work to get there and doesn’t want that life for her son. “I already have this image of Silas as a struggling musician and that’s like,’Oh my God!’. As a mom, you think 30 years into the future and you’re like, ‘How do I fix this for him?’ I just want him to be like an engineer or a doctor, something like that.”
