Actress Rashida Jones Talks About Her Nerdy Star-Studded Childhood In a New Episode of ‘California Inspires Me’

In the latest episode of the animated Google Play series “California Inspires Me“, actress Rashida Jones talks about growing up in Los Angeles and although her house was constantly filled with all sorts of actors, musicians and artists but she preferred a career in the law.

I did not want to be in entertainment in any way and that was for sure, like a conscious choice of rebellion. I wanted to be either the President of the United States or a judge, a lawyer, something in politics. Most kids want to run away with a rock band and travel the world and I wanted to be a judge. So there you go – nature, nurture.
