No matter how much you love Disneyland, itâs probably not the best idea to visit Space Mountain with a four-year-old in-tow. Thatâs the hard lesson that Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde learned when they took their son, Otis, to the ride during a recent family outing.
During Sudeikisâ guest hosting gig for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, on Wednesday (June 12), the Saturday Night Live vet spoke with his longtime fiancĂ©, Wilde, about the âtraumaticâ experience. âNow, speaking of our kids, I do want to take this opportunity in front of a bunch of people to ask you, why do you keep traumatizing our son at amusement parks?â he joked. âThis is important, this is something I wanted to bring up.â
Sudeikis went on to explain that the pair took Otis to the park as a birthday celebration, but his love for Splash Mountain shouldnât have been confused for its bigger counterpart, Space Mountain, a ride that has no weight requirement. âItâs really traumatizing for me because youâre not supposed to take a 4-year-old on [the ride] â look at my face!â the actress said, pointing to a shot of the three of them on the ride. âIâve never been so scared in my life! Thatâs real mom fear!â
âFirst of all, why did we go in the front? That Iâll never understand. Second of all, why did they let him on? Thereâs a height chart, but thereâs no weight chart,â she continued. âSo heâs really tall, but heâs really skinny, heâs like a little string bean. He could have flown right out of there. I have never been so scared in my life.â
In addition to Otis, who is now 5, Sudeikis and Wilde also have a daughter, Daisy, 2.
