Sarah Michelle Gellar: Embracing the Role of Reboots and Exploring the World
Sarah Michelle Gellar, renowned for her portrayals in timeless cult classics, is making waves as the queen of reboots. Gellar is set to join the Dexter: Original Sin universe, reprise her role in a new chapter of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and participate in the next I Know What You Did Last Summer film. Fans can’t seem to get enough of her charismatic presence, which lights up both the screen and her bustling portfolio.
The Impact of Buffy
Reflecting on her enduring influence through her iconic character, Buffy Anne Summers, Gellar expresses gratitude for Buffy’s significant cultural legacy. “The fact that Buffy, through all of these years, is still that character to so many people, it’s really the ultimate gift,” she notes.
Passion for Travel
Beyond her Hollywood success, Gellar enjoys globetrotting with her family. Alongside her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., and their children, Charlotte Grace and Rocky James, travel becomes an enriching family affair. Her love for European train travel allows her to feel more connected and present in each location she visits. “You get to see so much more of where you are,” Gellar shares, praising the Trainline service for its convenience.
Family Travel Dynamics
Gellar describes herself as the meticulous planner of family trips, employing tools like Google Maps to organize and mark intriguing spots discovered through social media or word-of-mouth recommendations. The family collectively partakes in packing duties, encouraging their children to be proactive travelers.
Travel Essentials
- Biodance Masks: Perfect for refreshing overnight travels.
- Music: An essential soundtrack to accompany every journey.
- Snacks: Chex Mix and protein bars are a must, especially with kids in tow.
Experiences Beyond Hollywood
While participating in Paris Fashion Week, Gellar found herself channeling a The Matrix vibe rather than her renowned vampire slayer persona. Attending fashion shows in Paris became a magical experience of joining a well-dressed culture and enjoying the scenic Eiffel Tower view.
Paris Recommendations
For those visiting Paris, Gellar recommends The Peninsula hotel for an exceptional stay, featuring a delightful spa and splendid bartenders. She also lauds the city’s local cuisine, particularly the serendipitous find of a corner restaurant serving exquisite French onion soup.
Onscreen Fashion and Legacy
Reflecting on past roles, Gellar’s wardrobe from Cruel Intentions holds nostalgic value, though she jokingly refers to it as “inappropriate.” Her trademark Buffy boots remain a cherished part of her wardrobe, emphasizing her fondness for powerful footwear.
Family Entertainment Choices
Despite her storied career, Gellar mentions that her children have selectively watched her films, such as Scooby-Doo and I Know What You Did Last Summer. For them, other projects, like Cruel Intentions, feel too closely tied to the parents in their social circles.
