AceShowbiz - Brian Austin Green responded to criticims over his parenting skills. The actor and his wife Megan Fox were criticized for letting their little sons wear dresses and wigs. "To them I say, 'I don't care,' " he said in an interview with Hollywood Pipeline.
"My son, he's 4. I've heard from some people that they don't agree. They don't agree with him wearing dresses," he said. "He's 4 and if he wants to wear it, then he wears it. It's dresses or goggles or slippers - whatever. It's his life. They're not my clothes. Obviously I don't wear the nicest stuff - I'm wearing shorts and a T-shirt and a watch you got me [earlier]."
"I feel like at 4, at 5, that's the time he should be having fun. He's not harming anyone wearing a dress," the father of four continued. "So, if he wants to, awesome. Good on him."
Brian Austin Green, 44, shares three sons with Megan Fox, 31. The oldest one Noah is 4 years old, Bodhi is 3 years old, and the third one was born in 2016. He also has another son, Kassius, from his previous relationship with former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-star Vanessa Marcil.
During the interview, the actor revealed how he was dealing with the constant presence of shutterbugs and what's the best way to shoo them away. "I realized that the more you give to people with cameras, the more they'll leave you alone," he said.
"So, I played the game. At one point in life I figured out paparazzi aren't going anywhere. They're not going to leave me alone. They're not going to leave Megan alone. They're not going to stop taking pictures. So, how do you make it livable where you can take pictures when you have to and guys will leave you alone? It's part of the game," he explained. "It's part of working now."
He revealed, "I'd call them up when we'd be in Hawaii and I'd go, 'I'm in Hawaii.' And he would take pictures for 10 minutes. He'd leave and then we'd have two weeks of just us, swimming and being in the ocean and having fun. Again, it's about learning how the game works, you know?"
"It sucks. It sucks!" he added. "We don't call and say we're going to restaurants and doing stuff like that, or going to the zoo. But when you're in Hawaii and you're like, 'This is our vacation time' - or it's supposed to be - you want the time. It's supposed to be private and fun and relaxing. You feel like you're living in a bubble sometimes. It makes your life easier. Ten minutes for two weeks? It's worth it."
