“Sometimes, he’ll dress himself andhe likes to wear dresses sometimes,” Fox said at the time. “And I send him to a really liberal, hippy school, but even there — here in California — he still has little boys going, ‘Boys don’t wear dresses,’ or ‘Boys don’t wear pink.’ "
“So we’re going through that now, where I’m trying to teach him to be confident no matter what anyone else says,” she added.
“He just wore one two days ago to school, and he came home and I was like, ‘How was it? Did any of the friends at school have anything to say?’ " recalled Fox. “And he was like, ‘Well, all the boys laughed when I came in, but I don’t care, I love dresses too much.’ "
Fox sweetly added with a laugh: “I was like, ‘That’s not what we’re going for this time, but maybe next time!'”
Green, 47, has also previously opened up about supporting his son’s fashion choices. In August 2017, theBeverly Hills, 90210talked withHollywood Pipeline’sStraight from the Source about the way the couple’s oldest son chooses to express himself.
“My son, he’s 4,” he explained at the time. “I’ve heard from some people that they don’t agree with him wearing dresses.To them I say, I don’t care.He’s 4 and if he wants to wear it, then he wears it.”
“And it’s dresses or goggles or slippers or whatever. It’s his life, they’re not my clothes … I feel like at 4, at 5, that’s a time when he should be having fun,” the dad added. “He’s not harming anyone wearing a dress. So if he wants to wear a dress, good on him.”
