Stanley Tucci Makes Rare Comments About His Kids and Spending the Holidays in England Home

Stanley Tucci shared rare details about how he likes to spend the holidays with his five kids and wife Felicity Blunt.

“The whole idea of Santa Claus is still very much alive, and I love that. It makes it 10 times better, more than 10 times better,” the Devil Wears Prada actor told People on Thursday, October 10.

“I love Christmas, especially with little kids,” Stanley, 63, told the outlet. “I love decorating the house, decorating the tree with the kids.”

The doting dad shares kids Isabel, Nicolo and Camilla with late wife Kate Tucci. She died of breast cancer in 2009. He married Felicity in 2012, and they welcomed kids Matteo and Emilia.

“My other kids are older, and it’s nice to see them with the younger kids now,” Stanley gushed. “It just makes me very, very happy.”

While the Tucci family absolutely loves getting into the holiday spirit for Christmas, Stanley shared that they have unique traditions for Thanksgiving as well.

“I live in England, so we don’t have Thanksgiving, but we celebrate it anyway,” he told the outlet. “For Christmas, we’re usually with my family and my wife’s family, and then the British here do Boxing Day, which we don’t do in America. But it’s just another day of eating and getting together.”

“They don’t do the Christmas Eve thing as much as we do in America, or at least in Italian families,” the Inside Man star shared. “Christmas Eve is a big deal. That’s when you’re going to eat mostly fish or pasta or something — but definitely fish — and the next day you’ll have some sort of roast or something like that.”

Fans have seen the inside of his England home in videos posted on his social media accounts. From the stunning decor to the incredible vibes, it’s obvious why Stanley loves spending time at home so much with his family.

“I love history. It’s one of the reasons I love living in England because the history here is profound,” he told GQ in February, “I mean, somebody puts a spade in the ground and pulls up a Viking sword or Roman artifact. You don’t quite get that in America. And so the idea of living in an old house that has had so many lives pass through it is fascinating. To see how things were built at the time and how it has remained standing, and all of the events that took place there, whether they’re happy or sad or significant on a cultural or historical level. That to me is really interesting.”

Stanley also opened up to the outlet about some of the more unique things in his home.

“A lot of that stuff [from my films] I keep in my office; you never see anything like it in my house. With a few exceptions of pictures, there are no posters of films that I did, no awards, nothing like that,” Stanley said. “The pictures are in and amongst things that photographers had taken that were from sets, but you’d never know it unless you really looked at it. I keep any awards and all that sort of stuff in my bathroom at the office.”
