Alicia Silverstone has revealed her son tried to imitate her Clueless kissing scenes after watching the iconic film for the first time when he was just five-years-old.
Although admitting that Bear 'loved' the 1995 classic, the 45-year-old actor realised afterwards it might not have been the best idea for someone of his age to view it.
Speaking recently to Entertainment Tonight, she shared: “'He saw Clueless when he was five, because it was on at the Hollywood [Forever] Cemetery... Four thousand people came to see and I couldn't pass that experience up, of watching it under the stars, pillows on the ground with rosé.

“He was so young and it's not appropriate, I think, for a five-year-old to watch that movie... it's all about sex and stuff, so I just realized, ‘Oops.’ But, at the time... he loved it.”
After watching the flick, Silverstone, who starred as Cher Horowitz in the classic, then revealed that her son 'picked up' a new way of showing her affection.
She continued: “But what he really picked up [on is] he tried to kiss me, like, passionate kisses, because that's what he saw in the movie.”

Silverstone welcomed her son Bear, now 11, with her ex Christopher Jarecki and has previously raised eyebrows with some of her unusual approaches to motherhood.
In 2012, the American Woman star revealed she feed Bear 'like a baby bird' and pre-chewed his food.
At the time, she posted a video of herself on her lifestyle blog, The Kind Life, which saw her sitting on a couch with the little one, holding a bowl of soup.

Silverstone was then seen taking a bite of the food, chewing it, before spitting it back out into Bear’s mouth, a method called pre-mastication. Not everyone's cup of tea, we must say.
Aside from motherhood, the actor is back on our screens and made an unforgettable cameo in Netflix flick Senior Year, which is available to stream now.
The film, which stars Rebel Wilson, centres around a high-school cheerleader who suddenly awakens after a 20-year coma and is in hot pursuit of her former life - and more importantly the title of prom queen.

Aussie actress Wilson shared her delight over Alicia’s involvement in the project, telling reporters at the Hollywood premiere: "I was so excited. I had the Clueless poster up on my bedroom wall. I mean, I loved her. I love her. She’s amazing.
"...Clueless was a classic, and maybe Senior Year will become a new classic. Who knows? There’s a high bar."
