Adams said Aviana has “beautiful feet that would’ve been great for ballet.” The star said she previously enrolled Aviana in ballet classes and told her daughter she could quit when she turned 10 if she didn’t like it.
“It was like 30 seconds after she turned 10, she was like, ‘Are we good? Have I done it?’ " Adams said with a laugh.
“Nothing would make me want to dance less than if my parents told me I had beautiful feet. I think you might have creeped her right out,” host Seth Meyers replied. “I think I did it wrong,” Adams admitted.
