Just got my mind blown that Jack Quaid - Hughie from "The Boys" is the son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. I had no idea. He really favors his mother.
![]() And it wasn't until recently that I learned Maya Hawke is Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman's daughter. She's a real combo of both of her parents, but can be made up to really resemble Uma. |
I think Blake Lively flies under the radar. |
You must be young. I’m 46 and knew both of these. Did you know Candace Cameron Bure is the little sister of an actor? And her mom is an agent. Actually Barbara was Kal Penn’s agent when he was starting out. |
Nicolas Cage, who is really a Coppola |
Her brother was the bigger celebrity in the 1980s-90s |
Elle King and Mariska Hartigay are two that come to mind |
I always forget about Angelina Jolie |
OP here - I'm 51! Ethan and Uma are my contemporaries. You can chalk this up to the "duh" category. I am very familiar with their parents' work. It just never occurred to me as I watched these shows that their parents were famous celebs. |
These shows being "The Boys" and "Stranger Things." |
Literally everyone in Hollywood is some level of nepo baby. |
And she doesn't seem as terrible as her dad! |
One I just learned during the Taylor Swift tour is that singer Gracie Abrams is JJ Abrams' daughter.
People forget that Timothee Chalamet is a nepo baby. His mom is Braodway actress Nicole Flender, his uncle is a TV director, and his aunt is a writer/producer for TV. Sailor Cook (model) is Christie Brinkley's daughter. Brandon Thomas Lee from The Hills New Beginnings is Pamela Anderson's and Tommy Lee's son. |
And another Brandon Lee who was killed by a prop gun at the set was Bruce Lee's son. |
My mind is blown that your mind is blown! |
Ha! I was expecting this thread to be about more obscure nepo-babies. The one for me, recently, was The Sex Lives of College Girls. The jerk lab partner that Whitney hooks up with and accidentally starts dating is Julia Louis Dreyfus and Brad Hall's son, Charlie. And another Julia Louis Dreyfus connection, her daughter on Veep was played by Keifer Sutherland's daughter. |
