Celebrity kids have always been subjects of curiosity, primarily for all the privileges they get to live. And the case is no different with Pretty Woman actress Julia Roberts‘ kids.

Let’s get started.

Who Is Phinnaeus Moder? His Age and Early Life

Phinnaeus Moder, born Phinnaeus “Finn” Walter Moder, is one of three children of Erin Brockovich actress Julia Roberts and American cinematographer Daniel Moder. He was born on November 28, 2004, in Los Angeles, California.

Though he was born to one of the biggest celebrities, he had a very humble upbringing. Over the years, Phinnaeus has lived very low profile and has rarely made public appearances.

Even though his parents prefer to keep their kids behind the showbiz, they rarely come up with some adorable photos of their twins. In November 2021, Phinnaeus’ mother shared a rare newborn photo of her twins on the occasion of their 17th birthday. Her caption is,

Phinnaeus Moder Has Shown No Interest In Movies & Music

Probably because Phinnaeus is still a young kid, he does not seem to be interested in his parents’ profession. Also, Julia has a team of musicians, a violinist, a cellist, and a trumpeter, but her kids don’t seem to be interested in music as well.

Rather, Phinnaeus along with his siblings are more into clearing their maths and physics exams. Talking about her kid’s interests, Julia once

“I have a violinist, a cellist, and a trumpeter, They just want to get through fifth grade math,” she joked. “That’s all that’s on their minds

Hopefully, they develop an interest in the entertainment business as they grow old.

Well, it looks like Moder is interested in soccer. Back in 2016, Julia brought all her kids on the field of a Manchester United game. Well, all her kids including Phinnaeus seemed pretty excited to play the game.

He was also seen kicking the ball on the field after the end of Manchester’s game against West Ham United. The Oscar-winning actress also shared the photos from the day on her social media handles.

Who knows, maybe we get to see Phinnaeus playing with the Manchester United team someday.

He Was Unaware of His Mother’s Celebrity Status Early On

When Phinnaeus was a kid, he was completely unaware of his mother’s celebrity status. Not only this, but he also had no idea about his parent’s profession. Well, Julia revealed the details back in 2014, during her conversation with Ali Express. She said,

They don’t know what I do for a living. That hasn’t really entered their life yet. They are just little kids and I’m just their mom, so there’s no coping with anything. They have stuff in their lives that’s far more interesting than what their parents’ jobs are.

Now that he is already a grownup, he knows that his mom is an actress. But he still does not have a clear idea about how famous his mother is. In a 2018 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Julia explained how her kids compared her celebrity status. They reportedly asked,

Are you more famous than Taylor Swift?
