Actress Paula Patton covers the June/July cover of Haute Living and opens up about co-parenting son Julian, 6, with ex-husband Robin Thicke.

On filming Warcraft and juggling motherhood: “When I was making that movie, it was a very challenging time as I was making changes in my personal life. It was interesting because the Garona character was going through a lot of challenges as well. I think the important thing is not to focus on what’s not working or how hard it is. You have to focus on what you do have and make it work, and make it be the best you can. At the end of the day, whatever project I do I give it all my heart, soul and passion. I am very grateful to do what I do, but my child comes first. Always. As long as I know that, then everything else falls in line and you just do the best you can.”

On their summer plans: “I do a lot of things last minute, but I love summer and I can’t wait to enjoy it with my son.”

On if Julian is following in mom or dad’s footsteps: “He’s taking after his father now, as he loves to sing and play the piano.”

On if Julian has seen Warcraft: “No, but I did let him watch the trailer. He was super excited and asked, ‘Are you good or bad?’ I wore my costume at home to get used to it, and he loved that. He loved the idea of Mommy orc.”
