It appears Amy Adams' daughter Aviana is less than enchanted with the idea of a Hollywood career. 

The Disenchanted star's 14-year-old daughter—whom she shares with husband of nine years, Darren Le Gallo—made her red carpet debut at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival for the Canadian premiere of her mom's new film Nightb---h Sept. 7. And as Amy explained, Aviana is not interested when it comes to following in her mother's famous footsteps.

"That is not her current plan," she exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker at the premiere. "She very much wants a different path."

Still, the Oscar-nominee isn't ruling out the fact that the teen might change her mind day.

"We'll see," she continued. "I never say never."

But regardless of what Aviana chooses for her future career, she'll always have Amy by her side. As the 50-year-old noted, "I'll support her no matter what she wants to do."

And that support goes both ways, as Amy was particularly overjoyed to have Aviana by her side, especially as she picked up a TIFF Tribute Award on Sept. 8 alongside fellow stars Angelina Jolie and Cate Blanchett.

"To my daughter Aviana, who this is the first time—sorry," Amy told the crowd while fighting back tears, per People. "This is the first time that she's gotten to be an event like this with me."

And of course, the Arrival actress took the opportunity to tell her daughter just how thankful she is for all the important ways that Aviana has changed her life.

"I get to tell her in front of you all how much I'm grateful for making me not only a better mother," she continued, "but a better person."

She added, "Every day you challenge me."

Apparently, those challenges have been going on for years, as Amy previously joked that Aviana is not afraid to tell her mom exactly what she thinks of more musical based skills—like when Amy tried to learn the ukulele, mandolin and cello during the early days of Covid quarantine.

"I tried to learn 'Party Favor' by Billie Eilish," Amy told Seth Meyers in 2020. "And my daughter was like, 'Yeah, you can't—You're not allowed to sing Billie Eilish.'"

As it turns out, while Amy can famously sing, she "can't play."
