Amy Adams has shared a lighthearted glimpse into her family life, revealing that her iconic role in Disney’s Enchanted occasionally finds its way into her parenting style.

Speaking in a recent interview, the Oscar-winning actress joked that she sometimes threatens her daughter with singing songs from Enchanted if she misbehaves.

Adams explained that the playful tactic was never meant to be serious discipline but rather a humorous reminder of her musical past and the beloved character she portrayed in the 2007 film.

The actress, who played the fairy-tale princess Giselle, said her daughter has grown up fully aware of the film’s popularity and her mother’s association with its musical numbers. 

According to People, Adams admitted that her child is familiar with the songs, which have remained culturally iconic nearly two decades after the film’s release.

Adams also reflected on how Enchanted continues to influence her life, especially as she returns to similar themes in recent projects. 

Moreover, she noted that fans often associate her with Giselle’s cheerful singing style, making it one of the most recognizable aspects of her career.

While the comment was made in a humorous context, Adams emphasized the grounding experience of motherhood and how it has shaped her perspective beyond Hollywood. 

As per the outlet, she has frequently spoken about balancing her career with raising her daughter, keeping much of her family life private while occasionally sharing relatable anecdotes.

Furthermore, her remarks quickly gained attention online, with fans amused by the idea of a real-life “Giselle warning” used in everyday parenting moments.
