Eva Longoria has reportedly drawn the linen when it comes to her 8-year-old son watching one of her most famous TV roles.

The actress revealed that her son Santiago has recently become "obsessed" with memes featuring Desperate Housewives character after discovering them on YouTube.

While Santiago has apparently developed an interest in seeing his mom’s hit ABC series, Longoria has made it clear that he won’t be watching it anytime soon. "So lately I’ve been seeing a lot just because of him discovering it," she told People Magazine.

Adding, "He asks, ‘Mom, when can I watch it?’ And I’m like, ‘Never.’"

Furthermore, the actress also reflected on some of her memorable career moments, including meeting Tom Cruise and a wardrobe mishap at the Cannes Film Festival.

For those unaware, Eva Longoria has played Gabrielle Solis since Desperate Housewives premiered in 2004, with the series becoming one of her most recognizable roles.

Although her son may not be ready to watch the show itself, he is already familiar with the character thanks to the memes he has encountered online.
