Anna Faris doesn't want her son to become an actor.

The 38-year-old actress, who is married to 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Chris Pratt, admits she doesn't want their two-year-old Jack to follow in their footsteps because she thinks he's too smart for Hollywood.

She said: "[I] want him to be an environmental scientist."

But Anna is thrilled Jack is starting to become aware of her work.

She said: "[He's] been recognising [me] if I'm in something on TV. He's starting to understand."

The blonde beauty is set to co-host the 40th annual People's Choice Awards with her 'Mom' co-star Allison Janney next Wednesday (14.01.15) and admits she will probably be dateless for the evening because Jack, who was born nine weeks premature resulting in the couple being told he might have special needs, is scheduled to undergo surgery the next day to correct his sight.

She told PEOPLE.com: "My son is having eye surgery the next morning, so we'll see what happens, [Chris] may come, but he may not."

Anna is very nervous about the event, but admits she has a great support system.

She said: "I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful child and a great job, an amazing costar.

"There's gonna be fear behind these eyes on the day I'm up there on stage. I'm gonna try to hide it. There's gonna be some fear!"
