Teri Hatcher says parental freedom made her want to get naked

OHMYGOSSIP — Teri Hatcher says her daughter leaving home made her want to get naked and walk around with a joint in her hand.
The 53-year-old actress has 20-year-old daughter Emerson with ex-husband Jon Tenney, and Teri has revealed she felt freed when her only child left home to attend college.
She shared: “Do you know, for me personally, the last year of high school was this anticipatory of me thinking it’s going to be awful. Like, I’m going to be a mess and sobbing, and having nothing to do.
“But really, what happened to me was the opposite. I didn’t actually do this, but I kind of like to think of it like, the second she left I took off all of my clothes, lit up a joint and just ran around the house.”
The former ‘Desperate Housewives’ star – who played Susan Mayer on the hit show – urged other mothers in the same situation to make the most of their new-found freedom.
Teri explained that since her daughter left home to attend college, she’s taken a conscious decision to be more “selfish” and to indulge some of her biggest passions and ambitions.
Appearing on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’, the former Bond girl explained: “It really can be how you perceive it. And you can perceive it as, you know, you spend a lot of energy for 18 years being a great mom, making your child the focus.
“And so, finally, it’s your time. It’s your time to be selfish, to pay attention to yourself, to exercise more, to eat better … to find your new purpose in the world.”
Meanwhile, Teri also revealed she’d love for ‘Desperate Housewives’ to make a comeback, revealing she’d jump at the chance to reprise her role.
Asked about the chances of the drama making a return, she said: “I don’t think they’re very good. Just because of the creators. It’s not the women. I think the women would probably all do it.”
