Viola Davis is never to be upstaged when it comes to impressing her daughter.

In fact, the Woman King star—who shares Genesis, 14, with husband Julius Tennon—once competed with her daughter’s nanny for cool points after being asked to get into a helicopter while doing promo for her latest action film G20.

“I said, ‘I’m not getting in the helicopter,’” the EGOT said during Late Night with Seth Meyers airing April 11. “But at the same time, I’ve jumped out of a plane, what kind of sense does that make?”

“I did it because we were on a big vacation and my nanny came, Molly,” Viola, 59, explained. “Beautiful girl, and Molly jumped out of the plane and my daughter said, ‘Molly is so brave. Molly jumped out of the plane. And I love molly.’ And I was like, ‘F–k Molly. Mama, can jump out of the plane.’”

Never to be outdone in front of her own kid, the How to Get Away with Murder alum, revealed that she went the extra mile to impress her teen.
