Mariska Hargitay’s Health interview
Mariska Hargitay graces the cover of the new Health issue and in the magazine she shares some learning experiences she’s had as a mom - to son August Miklos Friedrich, 2 1/2.
“My perfect analogy for being a parent is before you have kids, and you’re on a plane, and there’s a screaming kid, you’re like, shut that kid up, give me earplugs, get me a blanket to put over my head!” Now, however, Mariska totally understands how the parent is feeling, so she lends a sympathic smile to moms traveling with little ones.
“Because you think about the time your kid was screaming, and you know everyone hates you, and there was the one parent who looks at you and smiles, and that compassion is everything.”
So are more kids in store for Mariska? She says her life is pretty full right now, but doesn’t rule anything out for the future!
