Alex Honnold’s kids aren’t quite roped into his death-defying lifestyle.
Nearly two weeks after the professional climber successfully scaled to the top of Taiwan’s tallest building without any gear during Netflix’s Skyscraper Livehe explained that his and wife Sanni McCandless Honnold’s daughters June4, and Summer2, were not interested in his feat.
“They weren’t really watching,” Alex said of his family’s rewatch during an exclusive interview with E! News’ Will Marfuggi. “They didn’t care.”
And while the free solo event—now streaming on Netflix—inspired anxiety in viewers like Kim Kardashian and Hannah Bernerthe Free Solo star admitted his kids are blissfully unaware of what he does for a living.
“I don’t think they even know what climbing is, necessarily,” he continued. “It’s just normal. They have no idea what I do.”
Envisioning the future, the 40-year-old added, “It is interesting to think that at some point they’ll be teenagers and they’ll probably watch Free Solo or some of these other things and be like, ‘Oh, wow. Our parents used to look so young and fresh before they got haggard having kids.’”
