Rachel McAdams seldom discusses her son with Jamie Linden in public.

Rachel, who is presently quarantining with her 2-year-old son and family due to the Coronavirus epidemic, has spoken up about parenting in the lockdown. On the LHSF Canada Steam-a-thon, the actress described her 2-year-old baby as a “very welcome distraction” while in quarantine.

She said, “I have a very welcome distraction from my two-year-old son. That’s pretty much what I do all the time.

McAdams added: “ That’s right, he’s so entertaining! I thought about it: “Do I prefer to be alone in quarantine?” Or with my family?

“You know, there were days, of course, but I mean I would be so bored without him to make it so much fun.”

The 41-year-old actress explained that her family lives “out in the country,” with a “little farm down the road” where they can “look at the animals.”

“We’ve been doing some planting, some okra, well, I mean, I do the planting and he snacks most of the day,” she said.

“The greatest thing that’s ever happened to me,” McAdams said of becoming a mother. The Mean Girls actor and the Dear John author had a boy in April 2018, according to Us Weekly.

“[People say] your life is not your own any more, but I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person,” told The Sunday Times in November 2018. “I waited a long time [for motherhood]. It’s just how it happened. And I didn’t want to do it before it was the right time.”

“I want to keep his life private, even if mine isn’t,” she continued. But becoming a mother is the most fun I’ve ever had. Everything about it fascinates, excites, and motivates me. Even on the bad days, there’s something enjoyable about them.”

McAdams also discussed her smash 2004 film Mean Girls during her benefit visit.

“Let’s hope Mean Girls has helped girls be nicer to each other, and not the other way around,” she said. “It’s really bizarre, I feel so lucky to be a part of something that’s stuck around even a little bit. That’s never something I imagined happening in life.”

When asked which of her roles she would like to reprise, McAdams said she was curious to learn more about Regina George.

“It would be fun to play Regina George later in her life and see where life took her!” she said.
