Zoe Saldana reveals unexpected reason for enrolling her sons in ballet

Zoe Saldana, who is mother to to three sons, wanted her boys to learn dance.

In a recent chat with W. Magazine in their first publish of 2025, the 46-year-old actress shared that she hopes her sons will take an interest in dance.

"I'm trying. I'm not going to give up. Studies have shown that it is so therapeutic for men to take any form of dance at a very early age or throughout their lives because they carry so much tension and emotion," she told the outlet.

"At least my twins are tapping. My younger one, he couldn't give a s--- who is dancing. He wants to be Cristiano Ronaldo; he wants to be Lionel Messi," she continued.

"But my twins are very much like, 'Yo, girls are in there? They're dancing hip-hop?' And they'll dance."

It is pertinent to mention that Saldana shares three sons, 10-year-old twins Cy and Bowie, and Zen, 8 with her husband of 11 years, Marco Perego.
