Christian Bale doesn’t want his 3-year-old daughter Emmeline to follow in his footsteps and become a child actor, as he once was himself.

Bale was just 12 years old when he hit stardom in Steven Spielberg’s movie Empire of The Sun and states that children don’t understand the pressures of Hollywood, according to WENN.

“I have very strong opinions about why kids should not be working at such a young age. I think introducing children to a professional industry where they may not recognize the pressure is wrong. Very quickly they’re going to be under pressure. This is an adult industry. I would be very skeptical putting anybody I cared about, who was close to me, in this profession at a young age. I absolutely support it as a hobby and as an amateur pursuit but, to enter into it in a professional world, is a whole different ball game,” he said.

Raising kids is a hard task, but Bale seems to be doing a great job!
