The 38-year-old actress stars alongside Taron, 35, in Smoke, the new Apple TV series, and Jurnee has revealed that she loved the experience of working with him on the show.

The actress – who has Hunter, eight, with Josiah Bell, her ex-husband – told People: “Taron couldn’t be more different than his character and is just a lovely human being and kind and a generous team partner and buddies with Hunter, my son.

“He got Hunter the cutest wrap gift. He got Hunter a hockey jersey, because Hunter loves anything sports, and we were shooting in Vancouver. He fell in love with the Vancouver Canucks.”

Hunter actually impressed Jurnee’s co-stars with his good behaviour on set.

The actress shared: “He loves it. I was just recording something yesterday, and he was with me. And he was just hanging out and everyone was so impressed that he was able to be quiet, and he said to them, ‘I grew up on sets.’ And it’s true.”

Hunter is also taking a keen interest in his mom’s work.

She said: “He’s now at an age where he’s able to watch the monitor — if the scene is appropriate, obviously. And he’ll be asking the writers, ‘Well, what happens in episode three? Well, okay, but then what happens?’ And sometimes he comes home with things that are happening or places they plan to take the character that I don’t even know about.”

Despite this, Jurnee doesn’t have any plans to push her son into an acting career.
