Michelle Pfeiffer Looks Forward to Being a Grandmother
Michelle Pfeiffer is excited about the upcoming year, as she steps into the role of a loving grandmother. In a recent conversation, she expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “Oh my god, that’s fun.” Co-star Felicity Jones shared her own experience of becoming a grandma last year.
Pfeiffer announced her daughter Claudia Rose’s new arrival in September, noting that Claudia will welcome her baby in 2024. It seems like a wonderful development for the family.
Reflecting on her recent projects, Pfeiffer commented, “I feel very blessed with the opportunities I’ve had and the incredible people I’ve worked with.” What she didn’t expect was her daughter getting pregnant at the same time. Her excitement is palpable; she seems genuinely thrilled about this new chapter in her life.
Pfeiffer’s Shifting Priorities
Now that she has the title of grandmother, Pfeiffer indicated her plans to take a step back from work, especially in 2026. “I think I’ll probably take most of next year off. I’m really looking forward to it,” she shared. It appears that she’s feeling the weight of working a lot—perhaps even too much—and now aims to focus on quality time with family.
“I just really want to be selective and focus on how I spend my time,” Pfeiffer expressed. “Whatever time I have left, I want to make it count.” She seems to have found a new perspective, one that prizes personal connection over professional obligations.
Pfeiffer, who is a mother to two children—Claudia and her son John Henry—has recently shared that the experience of being a grandmother was “heaven.” In a podcast appearance, she mentioned the joy of this new role, even hinting at some regret about taking on too many projects before this life change.
Upcoming Film Projects
One such project she’s excited about is the Christmas movie titled “Oh What Fun,” where she plays a character who acts as the glue holding her family together during the chaotic holiday season. The film will be available on Prime Video starting December 3, 2025. It seems to be a heartfelt holiday comedy that shines a light on the often-overlooked efforts of those who make holidays special.
Pfeiffer noted that her return to holiday movies wasn’t anticipated this year but felt lucky to collaborate with director Michael Showalter. She describes the script as a “love letter to mothers,” which resonates with her own experiences of motherhood amid the busyness of life.
Her co-star Felicity Jones shared that she was drawn to the project because of its emotional depth and humor, emphasizing the rarity of films that explore the mother-daughter dynamic in a sincere way. The chemistry in the film between the characters suggests a relatable family bond, where love and sarcasm coexist.
Overall, “Oh What Fun” features an ensemble cast that includes notable actors like Chloë Grace Moretz and Eva Longoria. It appears both Pfeiffer and Jones are thrilled about the project and the chance to portray relatable family experiences.
