Jenna Dewan is happy her eldest daughter, Everly, is a fan of her show The Rookie — but one of her treacherous stunts almost turned the 11-year-old off it for good. “It’s funny, we just started watching it because [I] had all these 10-year-olds coming up to me and saying, ‘I love The Rookie ,’” Dewan, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, September 19, while promoting her partnership with Neostrata . “And I said, ‘Oh gosh, I guess I should be letting Everly watch this.
’” Dewan, who plays firefighter and EMT Bailey Nune on the ABC series , recalled thinking the show was full of “really intense action scenes.” She ultimately let Everly watch the police drama, noting, “This is part of her evolving and changing. And I was like, ‘Oh, I guess she could be able to watch this now.
’” The actress, however, didn’t think to filter which episode the mother-daughter duo started with. (Dewan shares Everly with ex-husband , Channing Tatum . She is also the mother of son Callum, 4, and daughter Rhiannon, 3 months, whom she shares with fiancé Steve Kazee .
) “There’s an episode where I get stuck into this tank that starts filling up with water , and I almost drown,” Dewan told Us , confessing, “Maybe it wasn’t the best first episode to show her.” Dewan remembered Everly being “really scared” during the season 5 episode. In the scene, Bailey treads water while her fiancé, police officer John Nolan ( Nathan Fillion ), tries to figure out.
