When it comes to appearances, children frequently follow in the footsteps of their parents. There are no exceptions when it comes to celebrity households. We can see that many celebrities and their children are related by simply looking at their photos. That can be especially handy if those kids decide to trek down the same paths as their famous parents.
Given their parents’ celebrity status, it’s no wonder that many of these celebrity kids have followed in their parents’ career footsteps. Of course, several perks come with being a celebrity child. First, they never have to worry about personal loans, and second, they have all the connections and inside scoops courtesy of their parents. They can give first-hand advice and encouragement because they have been through the experiences themselves. Take Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson, for example. Both ladies got involved in Hollywood at the same age. Not only that, but the mother-daughter duo also bears a striking resemblance to each other at the same age. Now, is this also true for other Hollywood parent and child teams? Read ahead to find out.
David Beckham & Brooklyn Beckham
People wanted David Beckham’s son to follow in his footsteps and play soccer since David is still considered the greatest soccer player of all time. David, on the other hand, being the wonderful father that he is, is not pushing his son, Brooklyn Beckham, to join the soccer team. David Beckham started his soccer career when he was just 18 years old. Brooklyn, on the other hand, did not begin modeling and acting until he was an adult. Brooklyn Beckham inherited his father’s boyish good looks, which is why many high-end fashion houses have enlisted his modeling services.
Brooklyn is now focusing on another of his passions, photography, and even if that doesn’t work out, we are confident that his parents have a trust fund and investments set aside for him. Almost every time Brooklyn posts a photo of himself with his father on Instagram, the comments section blows up with messages about how incredible it is that they look so similar—their fans just can’t get over it.
Arnold Schwarzenegger & Patrick Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Mr. Universe, and Patrick, his son with Maria Shriver, show that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. To be fair, he looks a lot like his mom, Maria Shriver, a Kennedy family member, but he is undeniably his father’s son. He looks a lot and has the same career as his father now that he’s in his mid-twenties.
Patrick followed in his father’s footsteps into Hollywood rather than going down the journalistic path like his mother. He made his film debut in the film Benchwarmers when he was just ten years old. Patrick also models with LA Models, who had hoped to include him in ad campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Armani. He has confirmed that taking on high-profile modeling jobs would help him raise awareness and investments for his clothing company. Patrick had worked as a model and an actor by the age of 23—though we doubt he’ll be running for governor anytime soon.
Michael Jordan & Marcus Jordan
Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan’ssecond oldest son, is regarded as the more talented basketball player out of Michael’s children. Being the son or daughter of the greatest player to ever play in the NBA sure comes with a lot of responsibility and aspirations. Marcus, on the other hand, has overcome hardship to become a better player and man. Marcus Jordan has a bit of an artistic streak, too, when it comes to the hoop. He has to rely on fancy moves to finish via touch or when a bigger player challenges him in the court. He was able to master his father’s famous up-and-under pass.
The father-son duo both started their successful basketball careers in high school. Marcus and his father’s similarity is becoming more apparent as he grows older, according to fans. Marcus, of course, does not inherit only his physical characteristics from his father. To his credit, he is also a great basketball player, just like his dad.
Denzel Washington & John David Washington
Denzel Washington is an American actor, director, and producer. Fans have dubbed him as the actor who “reconfigured the image of classic movie stardom,” with most of his roles characterized by grace, integrity, compassion, and inner power. Since the 1980s, Washington has gained widespread praise for his film work. That includes portraying people like Steve Biko, a South African anti-apartheid leader, in Cry Freedom (1987), civil rights activist and Muslim minister Malcolm X in Malcolm X (1992), and boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter in The Hurricane (1999), to name a few.
Around the same age, his son, John David Washington, began a career in acting and received notable credit roles. He was a regular on HBO’s comedy series Ballers from 2015 to 2019. He won Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for his performance as Ron Stallworth in Spike Lee’s 2018 crime film BlacKkKlansman. He also appeared in Christopher Nolan’s science fiction action thriller Tenet in 2020.

Johnny Kent in the 2018 film Hurricane, released in Poland as Hurricane: 303 Squadron, 303: Bitwa o Angli, and in the United States as Mission of Honor.
His father, Mel Gibson, also started his career in his mid 20’s. The prominent Hollywood actor is best known for his credit action roles as Max Rockatansky in the first three Mad Max films and as Martin Riggs in the buddy cop film series Lethal Weapon.

The young Nicholson also played Katie’s voice in the animated film Fly Me to the Moon in 2008. However, she is best known for her role in the biographical film Soul Surfer as Alana Blanchard (2011). The father-daughter duo both achieved successful careers in Hollywood in their 30s! Currently, the younger Nicholson is focusing on film directing and writing.

Steven Tyler & Liv Tyler
Steven Victor Tallarico, better known by his stage name Steven Tyler, is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, actor, and former television personality. He is best known for being the lead singer of the Boston-based rock band Aerosmith. Owing to his high screams and wide vocal range, he is known as the “Demon of Screamin’.” Tyler rose to fame as the lead singer of Aerosmith in the 1970s when the band released classic hard rock albums like Toys in the Attic and Rocks and a series of hit singles like Dream On, Sweet Emotion, and Walk This Way.
We are familiar with the lovely Liv Tyler, one of his children. However, unlike the star’s other children, Liv is the only one who resembles her father’s appearance. She pursued a career in acting and is best known for her credit role as Arwen Undómiel in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003). Just like her father, Live managed to establish a successful career in her early 20s. Impressive!
Clinton Eastwood & Scott Eastwood
Clinton Eastwood rose to international fame with his credit roles as the Man with No Name in Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy of Spaghetti Westerns in the mid-1960s and as antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films in the 1970s and 1980s, after achieving success in the Western TV series Rawhide. Eastwood became an enduring cultural icon of masculinity with these roles, among others. Today, he is the recipient of four Academy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, three César Awards, and an AFI Life Achievement Awar.
The Hollywood legend has also passed on his incredibly good genes to his son, Scott Eastwood, who followed in his father’s footsteps into the industry. Clint Eastwood, the legendary actor, and director, and his son, Scott Eastwood, have a striking resemblance at 31. Scott starred alongside Britt Robertson in the 2015 film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ novel The Longest Ride, and he appeared in the 2015 music video for Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams.
Jean-Claude Van Damme & Kristopher van Varenberg
Jean-Claude Camille Francois Van Damme, also known as JCVD, is a Belgian actor, filmmaker, combat choreographer, and retired martial artist best known for his martial arts action films. A few of his notable action films include Bloodsport (1988), Cyborg (1989), Kickboxer (1989), and Lionheart (1990). When he was ten years old, he started martial arts after his father enrolled him in a Shtkan karate academy. His fighting styles include Shtkan Karate and Kickboxing. At the age of 18, he received his black belt in karate. He began lifting weights to strengthen his physique, ultimately earning the title of Mr. Belgium Bodybuilder.

Koraun Mayweather & Floyd Mayweather
Koraun Mayweather is an internationally recognized American singer, rapper, and songwriter. He is well-known in the country as the eldest son of boxing legend “Floyd Mayweather.” Koraun is a fantastic singer who has already published two official tracks. He also has a Youtube channel called “King Koraun,” where he posts his upcoming music videos. As an artist and thriving social media influencer, it’s not surprising to see Koraun’s Instagram gain over 315K followers.
If you’re wondering why his surname sounds familiar, that’s because he’s the son of the one and only Floyd Mayweather. As a boxer, Floyd is known for winning fifteen major world championships during his career, including The Ring in five weight classes and the lineal championship in four weight classes (two times at welterweight), and he retired unbeaten. Mayweather won a bronze medal in the 1996 Olympics in the featherweight class, three US Golden Gloves championships (light flyweight, flyweight, and featherweight) at the US national featherweight championship as an amateur. The father-son duo certainly has an impressive credit score!
Angelina Jolie & Jon Voight
You’d think Angelina Jolie got her good looks from her mother, French actress Marcheline Bertrand, but if you look closely, she looks a lot like her father, veteran actor Jon Voight. Jon is an American actor who rose to fame in the late 1960s thanks to his Oscar-nominated role in Midnight Cowboy as Joe Buck, a would-be gigolo. He later rose to further fame in the 1970s as a businessman involved in a murder investigation in Deliverance (1972), a paraplegic Vietnam veteran in Coming Home (1978), which earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Jon has passed on his acting genes to Angelina Jolie, with the two of them receiving acting awards for critically acclaimed roles. Angelina Jolie is an actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has been dubbed Hollywood’s highest-paid actress several times and has won several awards, including an Academy Award and three Golden Globe Awards to her credit.

Over the years, Jenner established a slew of businesses and is now the CEO of Jenner Communications, a production company located in Los Angeles. She has been managing the careers of her daughters Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie since before the premiere of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Kim Kardashian West, her second daughter, rose to fame around the same age that Jenner began her professional career. Kardashian has amassed a vast online and social media following, including hundreds of millions of Twitter and Instagram followers. Her marriage to rapper Kanye West, who she married in 2014, has also gotten a lot of attention in the media. In recent years, Kim has also made investments in her own companies, launching KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance in 2017. She founded Skims, a shapewear business, in 2019.
Goldie Hawn & Kate Hudson
If you put a young Goldie Hawn next to her daughter Kate Hudson, she’ll look like her twin sister. Kate has inherited the majority of her mother’s facial features, as well as Goldie’s golden hair. Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson had similar careers by the time they were both 37 years old. Both are well-known for playing charming leads in romantic comedies.
Goldie Jeanne Hawn is an actress, producer, dancer, and singer. She rose to prominence on the NBC sketch comedy show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In before winning the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Cactus Flower. On the other hand, Kate became well-known for her role in the film Almost Famous, for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination and received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The mother-daughter duo has a combined net worth of $170 million and has no worries about mortgages or loans.
Cindy Crawford & Kaia Gerber
Cindy Crawford started her career in modeling when she was just 16 years old. Her bone structure and tall physique gained attention in the fashion industry, and by the time she was 19, she was already gracing the front cover of Vogue magazine. She went on to walk the runway for high-end fashion designers like Calvin Klein, Versace, Revlon and even became the face of Maybelline. In 2000, Crawford has retired from modeling and put her investment money on her own line of beauty products.
Crawford’s daughter, Kaia, did follow in her mother’s footsteps by becoming a model at a young age. She walked her first runway when she was just 16, and she never looked back. Thanks to her mother’s tutelage, Kaia knows what it takes to stand out among the crowd. She is currently juggling her studies with her modeling career though she understands that her education still takes precedent over the other.
Bruce Springsteen & Evan James Springsteen
The Dancing in the Dark crooner got interested in music when he saw Elvis Presley on the Ed Sullivan Show and worked to buy his first guitar in his teens. He started playing with the band Rogues in local venues until his mother bought him a Fender, a milestone he sang about in his song The Wish. He went on to play with several bands from the 60s to 70s until he signed up with Columbia Records. Springsteen went on to release several albums during his career.
Fortunately, music is in the blood of his children, with his eldest following suit in terms of career. Evan James got a degree in music and is currently pursuing it as a career, too much like what his father did when he was his age. Additionally, we are seeing a bit of his father in Evan as he is also a songwriter. The creative juices are definitely running through Bruce’s eldest, that’s for sure!
Faith Hill & Gracie McGraw
Faith Hill has made a name for herself as a country music icon. She did not finish a college education as she already has her sights settled on becoming a singer. Faith auditioned to become a backup singer of Reba McIntire to kick off her career but did not make it. She later got discovered in a music publishing firm where she got the job of a demo singer. Martha Sharp of Warner Bros. Records then signed up Hill after hearing her performance at the Bluebird Café, and the rest was history.
Hill later married fellow country singer Tim McGraw and had three beautiful daughters. Though all of her girls sing, Gracie McGraw seems more inclined to take it to the next level. She is no stranger to the limelight, and at 18 years old, she had already formed an all-female band called Tingo. Later on, Gracie joined a rock band which shows that she has her music preferences. For sure, whatever investments her parents will put on her, she will use it wisely.
Dustin Hoffman & Jacob Edward Hoffman
The Graduate star, Dustin Hoffman, rose to stardom in 1967. Dustin initially pursued a degree in medicine but dropped it in favor of an acting career. He worked at the Pasadena Playhouse, and after his breakthrough role in The Graduate, he made more films like All the President’s Men, Agatha, and Kramer vs. Kramer. Dustin also turned heads in his performance in Tootsie. He is now one of Hollywood’s icons, and it seems that his children are taking a leaf out of his book.
Jacob Edward Hoffman not only looks like his father, but he is making a name for himself in Hollywood as well. After graduating from NYU Film School, Jacob has already used his knowledge to direct music videos, write and direct short films, and of course, he has already pursued a career in Hollywood. Like his father, Jake has starred in several films like Click, Rain Man, Hook, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
Will Smith & Jaden Smith
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Will Smith rose to stardom first as a rapper with DJ Jazzy Jeff. They released five albums together, which were all well received. However, his lavish lifestyle caused him to go nearly broke. If only he had a financial advisor back then, he wouldn’t worry about his money waning. Fortunately, he got back on his feet thanks to the hit sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Even though he was into acting, Smith kept his music career going.
For Jaden Smith, growing up as a child of celebrity parents can be challenging, but he always had their support in his chosen endeavors. Just like his dad, Jaden has also dabbled in music and is a rapper himself at a young age. He is also into acting as he already starred opposite his father in After Earth. Jaden has spent his investments on making his own gender-fluid clothing line which is well received.
Barbara Walters & Jacqueline Danforth
After finishing her college education, Barbara Walters went to work in a small advertising agency before becoming part of the WNBT-TV. There, she worked on writing press releases and producing a program for children called Ask the Camera. Barbara went on to become a reporter-at-large, where she was able to develop, write, and edit her own interviews and reports. She later became the first female co-host of The Today Show. Though she did not have any biological children, she adopted a daughter whom she named Jacqueline.
Jacqueline’s childhood was not easy, as she skipped school when she was 13. She ran away when she was 15 and later developed a dependence on harmful substances. Walters was busy with her career at the time, which may be why Jacqueline sought comfort in unhealthy habits. Her young adult life was quite different from her adopted mother, but now, he is in a much better place thanks to her mother’s investments in her intervention needs.
Gordon Ramsay & Matilda Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay showed interest in cooking while he was in his teens. After his football days were cut short by an injury, he put all of his attention to his growing interest in cooking. By 19, he enrolled himself in the Hotel Management Program at the North Oxfordshire Technical College. He trained under several well-known chefs until he started earning enough money to put up his own restaurant. Ramsay is also a celebrity thanks to his cooking shows like Hell’s Kitchen and Masterchef.
Luckily, he passed on his culinary skills to his youngest daughter, Matilda, who displayed an aptitude for cooking at a young age. She is very much like her father and has already appeared on TV at the MasterChef Junior. She is putting her twist on various dishes to her credit, which she presented in her own TV show called Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch.
Christie Brinkley & Sailor Brinkley- Cook
Christie Brinkley is a name that is quite familiar in the modeling world as she has become one of the most sought-after models of her generation. Christie first got discovered while she was in Paris. There, she started working with fashion photographers before returning to California. Brinkley was also signed up to be with CoverGirl for 25 years. She later appeared in other fashion magazines during her career.
You might think that we will not be seeing more of her on the runway, but it seems that her daughter Sailor has taken over the reins from her mother. Besides looking like her mother, she is also modeling, just like when Christie was the same age as her. Though the young lady had some significant health struggles while she was in high school, she has since accepted her changing body. Sailor has since started putting her investment money on her health. Kudos to the young lady!
Jason Statham & Jack Oscar Statham
The Transporter star, Jason Statham, is the doting father to his only child, Jack Oscar Statham. According to Statham’s partner, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, the little man already has the big voice of his father despite being only three years old. Before becoming an action star, the actor’s first career choicer was diving but was later discovered by an agent back in 1998. He did model for some time until Guy Ritchie cast him in his film, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.
Though it is still too early to tell what young Jack will be when he grows up, he seems to be becoming the proper English gentleman, even getting his father’s looks. Perhaps this was how the Expendables star looked when he was a kid. Whatever he turns out when he grows up, there is no doubt that he will not have to think of applying for student loans as both his parents can take care of it.
Lori Loughlin & Olivia Jade Giannulli
Full House alum, Lori Loughlin, started her career when she was 11 when she became a print model. She later became a part of the soap opera The Edge of Night then got the role for Rebecca Donaldson in Full House. She was also in A Stranger in the Mirror and the film, In the Line of Duty: Blaze of Glory. However, Lori, along with her husband and daughters Isabella and Olivia, are keeping a much lower profile following the controversy that they got involved in.
Besides looking like her mom, Olivia Jade had also become a celebrity herself, just like Lori when she was her age. She is a popular YouTuber and influencer who has ties with several fashion brands. The young lady stepped back from the limelight after the controversy broke out but slowly made a comeback. Perhaps she will need some intelligent investment planning if she wants to use what money she has for her future.
Jessica Lange & Shura Baryshnikov
Jessica Lange is no stranger to the limelight, especially when she started her career as a model at a young age. As an actress, Jessica starred in the remake of King Kong, earning her first Golden Globe. Her other works included Tootsie, Music Box, Country, Frances, and Losing Isaiah. She also made a career on stage and has a good singing voice as well, which she seems to have passed on to her daughter Shura Baryshnikov.
Shura, to her credit, has worked hard to become one of the renowned dancers and choreographers of today. Trained in classical ballet, Shura did not feel pressured to be in the performing arts. Her parents, Jessica and Mikhail, let her choose her own path. She may have started in a different course from her mother. Still, Shura has successfully established herself as a faculty member of the Department of Theater Arts and Performance Studies at Brown University.
Michelle Williams & Matilda Ledger
Michelle Williams’ dream of becoming an actress started after watching local productions of various musicals like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Annie, which she later became a part of. Her parents supported her interest in acting and put their own investments into moving to San Diego, where she can go on auditions. Her role in Dawson’s Creek made her a household name, and it was her earnings here that helped her choose her roles wisely.
Williams dated her Brokeback Mountain co-star, Heath Ledger, and had a daughter with him named Matilda. After Heath’s passing, Michelle kept the life of her daughter private. One thing is sure, though; young Matilda has the same bearing as her father and his energy, which his family and her mom already remarked on. Williams has given birth to a new baby recently with her fiancé Thomas Kail.
Yolanda Hadid & Gigi Hadid
Yolanda Hadid stunned Eileen Ford when she walked down the runway as a replacement model when she was 16. So it’s not surprising that she was signed up on the spot to become part of Ford Models. That proved to be the start of a beautiful career that allowed her to travel to different countries for fashion shows and photoshoots. She later settled down and had three children, all of whom are successful, especially Gigi.
Gigi Hadid is one of the rising models of today, and just like her mom, she also started conquering the runway at 16 years old. Gigi was so dedicated to modeling that she even halted getting a degree to pursue her career. Gigi has also appeared in different fashion magazines and even became a brand ambassador for Maybelline. Before that, we saw her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alongside her mother.
Diana Ross & Tracee Ellis Ross
Diana Ross pursued a career in singing when she was just fifteen, after joining the band Primettes. They later received an invitation to do an audition with Motown Records. The executives were impressed by their vocals but decided that they were too young. They did eventually come back with a new name called Supremes. Ross also pursued a career in acting, which her daughter, Tracee Ellis, picked up.
Tracee Ellis did some modeling during her younger years which was quite different from what her mother pursued back in her days, then got a degree in Theater at Brown University. She worked as a fashion editor for New York Magazine and later appeared on film for Far Harbor, and her performance gotten more roles for her, which helped build her career. Her acting in Girlfriends was what propelled her to the limelight.
Chuck Norris & Eric Norris
The name Chuck Norris will easily evoke the image of a man adept in martial arts. The Expendables guest star was not the confident man that he is today since he was shy when he was a kid. Things changed when he signed up for the army and started learning martial arts. He used his investment money to open karate schools and later on became friends with Bruce Lee. He has also appeared on TV like Walker, Texas Ranger.
Chuck had also become a proud father, with Eric Norris showing signs of being like his father when he was young. When he was at the age of Chuck Norris, he became a stuntman, then became a race car driver. After his successful career behind the wheels, Eric went back to become a stunt coordinator and even worked with his dad. It is not surprising that he has followed his father’s footsteps as Chuck became a big name in Hollywood.
Eddie Murphy & Bria Murphy
Eddie Murphy is one of the best comedians who gained momentum in Hollywood for his sketches in Saturday Night Live. He rose to fame in the ‘80s and is still an active actor up until this day. Murphy has ten children from various mothers. One of them is Bria Murphy, his first daughter from his first wife, Nicole Mitchell. Just like Eddie, Bria also entered show businesses. At age 31, Bria has been in several movies, such as the 2017 drama Conflict of Interest. She also appeared in the reality show Hollywood Exes. At such a young age, Bria is already an entrepreneur. She has put significant investment money into co-founding the art gallery ArtUS.
When the 60-year-old actor was her age, the actor is already savoring the limelight of his career. He has worked on various comedy movies such as Boomerang, The Nutty Professor, and Doctor Dolittle during his 30s. Aside from acting, Murphy has also ventured into being a writer and producer.
Daniel Craig & Ella Craig
Daniel Craig is an A-list actor who gained international stardom when he took on Agent 007 in the James Bond movies in 2006. Before landing the role, Craig has been doing action movies since 1992. At age 29, he was slowly getting more traction in Hollywood. It was also during this time when Craig married his first wife, Fiona Loudon. Their marriage resulted in the birth of their daughter, Ella Craig. However, their marriage did not last long. After almost two years of being together, Craig and Loudon separated.
Ella is now 29-years-old, the same age when his father was already making a name for himself. For her part, Ella is starting to find her own career. Instead of getting a college degree, Ella decided to drop out of school. She is now working as an actress and has been acting in theater productions for Shakespeare & Company. The James Bond actor is undoubtedly proud of his firstborn for the independence she gained while growing up.
John Travolta & Ella Bleu Travolta
John Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston, who married in 1991, got blessed with three kids, including young actress Ella Bleu Travolta. The daughter of the actor and singer is a 21-year-old actress whose movie credit includes Get Lost, Old Dogs, and The Poison Rose. It’s not shocking, though, that Ella managed to land these projects at such a young age as her father John has also succeeded in making a name of himself at age 21.
At that age, Travolta already entered the world of Hollywood. During the ‘70s in his early 20s, he started by appearing on the TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter. He was also 21-years-old during this time and has proven that he got good acting chops. He then landed more successful projects, including Carrie, Saturday Night Fever, and his iconic movie Grease. Travolta’s star has been shining since the ‘70s up to today. Currently, Travolta is spending more time with his family.
Tom Hanks & Chet Hanks
Tom Hanks was in his 30s when he started bagging Hollywood movie roles, including Every Time We Say Goodbye, Bachelor Party, and Nothing in Common. His 30s was the peak of his career, with his Forrest Gump movie role catapulting him to superstardom. That was also when Hanks was able to amass a whopping amount of fortune from his international fame that he spent on investment planning for his future.
Today, it seemed like one of his sons with Rita Wilson, Chet, is also repeating history. At 30, Chet is already gathering an impressive list of movie credentials under his name. However, unlike his father, Chet had to navigate some legal disputes to maintain his Hollywood status. As an actor, he has appeared in Empire and Shameless. He also played Joey Maldini in the drama miniseries of Showtime entitled Your Honor. With Hanks as his father, who will guide him through his career, Chet will probably have a bright future in the entertainment industry, just like his father.
Michael Douglas & Cameron Douglas
Michael Douglas is a world-renowned and award-winning actor who is still active after decades of being in the spotlight. He has a son named Cameron Douglas with ex-wife Diana Luker, born in a family of Hollywood royalties. As expected, it was easy for the young Douglas to enter Hollywood. In the early 2000s, Cameron was able to land roles for movies such as National Lampoon’s Adam & Eve, Loaded, and It Runs in the Family. However, Cameron’s path went astray after facing legal cases.
At 42, Cameron released a book about his life experiences, opening up about being included in a family of Hollywood royals and the pressure that comes with it. He revealed that although he was raised in a well-off family with no cash loans or debts to think about while growing, the pressure at par with his father and grandfather Kirk Douglas can be pretty challenging. Cameron’s experience was far from his father’s path when he was in his 40s. Michael was savoring the peak of his career in his 40s, with movies such as Fatal Attraction, Wall Street, and Romancing the Stone grossing high in sales.
Sean Penn & Dylan Penn
Sean Penn is a multi-talented Hollywood personality. He started his career in the 1970s, but it was not until the early 2000s that Penn clinched prestigious awards. Sean won two Academy Awards for Mystic River and the biopic Milk. When he was 30, Penn began venturing in directing. He started his film directorial debut in 1991 for The Indian Runner. The success got followed by more films like The Crossing Guard, and The Pledge showed in the late ‘90s to early 2000s. He also takes the credit for the biographical drama Into the Wild in 2007, which gained nominations for Academy Awards.
Penn has two children Dylan and Hopper Penn, with Robin Wright. By age 30, Dylan is also making a name for herself—as an actress and a model. She has made modeling projects with Gap Inc. and is under Wilhelmina Models. Dylan also appeared in Nick Jonas’ music video for Chains.
Steven Spielberg & Mikaela Spielberg
Steven Spielberg is regarded as one of the best film directors of all time, creating award-winning movies such as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, and Jaws.
