Christopher Backus and Mira Sorvino Share the Invaluable Parenting Advice They Got from Her Late Dad Paul Sorvino (Exclusive)
Christopher Backus shares the invaluable parenting advice he received from his wife Mira Sorvino's late dad Paul Sorvino in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.
The actor, 43, and the Romy and Michele actress, 57, spoke with PEOPLE about their upcoming film Daft State, and shared some of the great parenting advice he got from Sorvino. If something happens to someone else somewhere far away, you go, 'That's really sad,' but it doesn't really have the same effect as the one piece of hair that's taken from your kid's head," Backus remembers. Mira agrees, saying that her dad once did a movie called Surviving about a teen suicide, and made the mistake of drawing from the fantasy of one of his daughters dying to act the scene out.
