Alicia Silverstone's son tried to kiss her after watching Clueless

Actress Alicia Silverstone has said her son tried to mimic her Clueless kissing scenes after she let him watch the nostalgic film when he was just five-years-old.

Even though she said Bear "loved" the 1995 classic, she soon realised it may have not been the most ideal time to let him watch it...

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight the actress, 45, said: “'He saw Clueless when he was five, because it was on at the Hollywood [Forever] Cemetery... Four thousand people came to see and I couldn't pass that experience up, of watching it under the stars, pillows on the ground with rosé.

“He was so young and it's not appropriate, I think, for a five-year-old to watch that movie... it's all about sex and stuff, so I just realized, ‘Oops.’ But, at the time... he loved it.”

After watching the film where she starred as Cher Horowitz, the mum soon started to notice that her son, who is now 11, had picked up a new way of showing her affection. She continued: “But what he really picked up [on is] he tried to kiss me, like, passionate kisses, because that's what he saw in the movie.”

But this isn't the first time the actress has caused a little controversy with some of her untraditional mothering ways. Back in 2012, she claimed she would feed Bear "like a baby bird" as she would sometimes pre-chew his food.

A few years back she published a video of herself on her lifestyle blog, The Kind Life, which saw the actress sitting on the sofa with her son and holding a bowl of soup.

She was later captured tasting some food, and chewing it, before putting it into her son's mouth. The method is called pre-mastication., but it's clearly not for everyone.

When it comes to her career the actress is back on the box having made a recent cameo in Netflix flick Senior Year, which you can stream now. The film also stars Rebel Wilson, and the plot is focused on a high-school cheerleader who suddenly comes out of a 20-year coma and is desperate to return to her former life.

Wilson was super excited about Alicia’s involvement in the film, as she told journalists at the Hollywood premiere: "I was so excited. I had the Clueless poster up on my bedroom wall. I mean, I loved her.

"I love her. She’s amazing. Clueless was a classic, and maybe Senior Year will become a new classic. Who knows? There’s a high bar."
