It’s been quite the year for Bailee Madison, and she’s topping it off by starring in a movie with some Hollywood icons! The adorable actress is currently starring in Parental Guidance (in theaters now!), with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler, and we were able to chat with her about the movie and a few other topics. In Parental Guidance, Bailee plays Harper, a teen who has her parents pushing her to be a perfect daughter, student, and violinist, but when her grandparents (played by Billy and Bette) come into town to watch her and her brothers for a few days, they manage to stir things up. They manage to get her to let loose and she learns a few lessons along the way. (Plus, there’s a hilarious scene where Bailee’s character shoves her fave into an ice cream cake!) We talked to Bailee about the movie, her holiday traditions, what it’s like to work with such famous actors and much more! Watch the interview above, and make sure to check out Parental Guidance, out now!
Bailee Madison chats up her new film, Parental Guidance, in this new on-set interview.
The 13-year-old actress plays Harper in the movie, which follows Artie and Diane Decker (Billy Crystal, Bette Midler) who are called in by their daughter (Marisa Tomei) to help care for their three grandkids.
Bailee shared, “My character Harper is kind of very uptight. She always wants to please and wants to do her best. The fact that she has these grandparents who are ‘Come on, let’s go to the mall’ and ‘Let’s have fun,’ she’s like ‘No, I need to have my violin ready, I need to practice, and I need to be someone who you can be proud of.’”
Parental Guidance opens everywhere on Christmas Day (December 25th).

Bailee Madison is all grown up in this new feature from the newest issue of Glamoholic magazine.
The 13-year-old actress chatted about Katie Holmes, new movie Parental Guidance and her charitable heart. Check it:
On her bond with Katie: “I am so grateful to have gotten to work with Katie Holmes! Every time I writ or say her name, a huge smile appears on my fave. She’s such an incredible actress, but most importantly, an incredible mother. She took such good care of me during Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, and has continued to be there for me and my family. I love her.”
On her Parental Guidance character: “My character, Harper Decker is torn between two worlds; she wants to please her mother (Marisa Tomei) but at the same time, she wants to let loose and be as fun as her grandmother (Bette Midler). On top of that, Harper is also having her first crush, which makes her incredibly awkward. She’s unlike anything I’ve played before.”
On getting involved in Alex’s Lemonade Stand: “When I first started in this industry, my mom and I decided that it isn’t about me, it’s about making a difference. I was searching for a foundation that i could grow with and be equally as passionate about years later. When I came across ALSF and read Alex’s story, I was touched and inspired more than words can explain. I began by volunteering at their stands and shortly after, I got a phone call from Alex’s parents asking if I’d be willing to join their team. I don’t think my mom and I have ever said yes so quickly.”
