Brian Austin Green lets his son wear whatever clothes he wants to wear
Brian Austin Green doesn’t seem to care what you think about his son wearing dresses!
In a new interview he done with Hollywood Pipeline’s Straight From The Source, Green addresses the feedback that he sometimes gets from the public when his 4-year-old son Noah is seen out with his parents in dresses. To those who disagree with his son’s choices, Green says, shrugging his shoulders, “I don’t care.”
After showing a photo of his son to interviewer Dax Holt, Holt brought up the issue and asked Green: “Does it affect you guys if you see people talking crap on it?” Green, looking completely unperturbed, says that, “My son, he’s 4. 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.”
Thank you, David Silver! We cannot tell you exactly how happy it makes us to see a man in the public eye so at ease with the fact that his son dressing against gender norms. The general expectation is for boys that age to be shamed and forbidden to wear “girl clothes” even if they’re just playing around.
However, Green and his wife Megan Fox refuse to abide by that and instead allow their little boy to wear whatever he wants to. They are no more threatened by their son wearing a dress than they would be by him wearing a cowboy hat to the grocery store. As Green puts it to the interviewer: “[If] 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. He’s not harming anyone wearing a dress. So if he wants to wear a dress, good on him.”
We are so used to the norm of parents seeing their children as extensions of themselves that we don’t often hear people say of their children, “It’s his life, they’re not my clothes.”
But yes — even at the age of four, Noah is his own little person. And when it comes to harmless decisions like choosing what to wear, he should have some input into what he wears.The Green-Fox family is united in their support for their son. As Fox said earlier in this year, “Noah wears dresses so there are no rules. You can be whatever you want to be in my house!”
So a round of applause for Green, Fox, and every parent who encourages their child to be who they are and wear whatever they want!

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Jennifer Lopez says that her 8-year-old twins Emme and Max are being homeschooled simply because she doesn’t get to see them as often as she would like to because of her gruesome work schedule.
With the kids at her side, not only do they get to continue learning, but they also have more opportunities to spend time as a family.
She said, “We don’t have a normal life. I don’t have normal kids. I’m not normal. So our life is not normal. I’ve come to terms with that.”
