Since 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, Michelle Rodriguez has played Letty Ortiz. She acted as Dom’s lover who also has a knack for mechanics and high-octane racing. Letty has been a member of the street racing team since the beginning of the franchise, and she’s seen her fair share of twists and turns.

Dom learned that Letty perished after disbanding the crew in Fast & Furious, only to learn in Fast & Furious 6 that she survived a major accident but started working against him after suffering from amnesia.

Michelle Rodriguez acted as Ana Lucia Cortez on Lost from 2005 to 2010 after appearing in The Fast and the Furious. She’s also appeared in the Resident Evil series, Blue Crush, Avatar, the big-screen version of S.W.A.T., and other films.

As far as her Fast & Furious storyline was concerned, this is how things played out. Letty and Dom are now married in the eighth film, and they meet Cipher while on their honeymoon.

Vin Diesel, who played the role of Dom, started as a carjacker. He later became a mechanic and street racer in subsequent parts. Dom is the patriarch of a community of street racers, and after his father’s untimely passing, he is forced to take on the position of primary caregiver.

Auto mechanic was his initial career before moving on to orchestrating carjacking, a multi-million dollar heist, and illegal jobs for government agencies as the boss. Dominic is a gruff, strong man who preaches morality and loyalty and embodies many of the characteristics associated with his position.

Vin Diesel played roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy, xXx, and Riddick franchises since his debut as Dom Toretto.

More recently, Dominic Terreto has gone berserk and betrayed his family in The Fate of the Furious, possibly after being seduced by Cipher, played by Charlize Theron. We’re almost sure it takes more than that for Diesel to abandon his teammates.

Since 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, Jordana Brewster has played Mia Toretto, Dom’s sister and Brian’s longtime love. She’s a fast driver, but she rarely participates in Dom’s heists or races. While Dominic is in Panama, she calls to tell him of Letty’s passing.

She appears at Letty’s funeral and is often seen afterward either persuading Dominic not to put himself in danger or moaning to F.B.I. Agent Brian O’Conner about their previous relationship. They do eventually renew their relationship, as suggested in the film.

Jordana Brewster has had roles in films including Annapolis, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and American Heist.

She’s also featured in Lethal Weapon, Dallas, Secrets and Lies, American Crime Story, Dark Blue, and Chuck, among others. Jordana Brewster is scheduled to reprise her role as Mia in the ninth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise – aptly titled, F9.

In The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Sung Kang entered the Fast & Furious series as street racer Han “Seoul-Oh” Lue. The protagonist in the franchise is also a thief and business partner of Takashi.

He fled the United States after the demise of his girlfriend Gisele Yashar in Spain to settle in Tokyo, Japan. Afterward, he was presumably vanquished by Deckard Shaw. Before his character’s passing at the end of Fast & Furious 6, he appeared in the series’ previous three installments.

Sung Kang appeared in films such as Live Free or Die Hard, Battle, and Ninja Assassin. He also appeared on MADtv for four episodes, starred in the short-lived series Gang Related, and has played Assistant U.S. Attorney John Mak on Power since 2017.

Sung Kang also appeared in the 2019 movie Code 8 as Officer Alex Park. As a business owner, Sung Kang owned a restaurant in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The restaurant, known as Saketini, was closed down in 2013.

Eva Mendes, who played Monica Fuentes, entered the Fast and Furious series as undercover U.S. customs agent Monica Fuentes. She also appeared in the 2011 film Fast Five.

Eva Mendes appeared in a mid-credits scene in the movie after starring in 2 Fast 2 Furious. She contacts Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and informs him that Michelle Rodriguez’ Leti is alive and well, working for the evil Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), setting up Fast & Furious 6 in 2013.

Hitch, Ghost Rider, and The Other Guys were among the films in which Eva Mendes appeared. She and Ryan Gosling met while co-starring in The Place Beyond the Pines in 2013, and she went on to star in his directorial debut, Lost River, in 2015.

Since then, she hasn’t acted. After the birth of her kids, Eva Mendes retired from acting to spend time with her family.

Sean Boswell, an American high school student living in Tokyo, first appeared in the Fast and Furious series in 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and he had a cameo in 2015’s Furious 7.

Sean decides to talk with Cindy, Clay’s girlfriend. He prepares to leave school because she admires his car, a white 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Clay. Enraged that Sean is talking to his girlfriend, he insults his car even more by listing his car’s features, a 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10.

Lucas Black starred in films such as Get Down, Legion, Promised Land, and 42, among others. Since 2014, he has played Christopher LaSalle on N.C.I.S.: New Orleans.

For a couple of years there, it seemed like Lucas Black was out of the acting industry for good as the jobs didn’t seem to be coming his way. However, there are reports that he’ll reprise the role of Sean in the forthcoming ninth installment – F9.

In 2011’s Fast Five, Elsa Pataky made her debut as a Brazilian patrol officer Elena Neves, who has a brief love affair with Dom before joining Hobbs at the DSS. She appeared in the series’s following three films, but her character sadly passed halfway through 2017’s The Fate of the Furious.

Before her passing, one of the highlights of Elena was when she supported Dominic Toretto’s team in stealing $100 million from crooked lawmaker Hernan Reyes. She eventually becomes good friends with Dominic before he moved to Los Angeles to serve with Hobbs.

Aside from Fast and Furious series, Elsa Pataky hasn’t accomplished much in Hollywood, although she did appear in 2013’s All Things to All Men, 2015’s The Wine of Summer, and 2018’s 12 Strong, in which she played the wife of real-life husband Chris Hemsworth’s role.

It seems like Pataky will reprise her role of Elena Never in the ninth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise – F9.

With 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious, Tyrese Gibson debuted as Brian’s childhood friend, ex-con speedster Roman Pearce, in the Fast and Furious franchise. When Brian, Mia, and Dominic Toretto contacted Roman, he travelled to Rio de Janeiro.

While trying to steal $100 million from a fraudulent Brazilian businessman, he was hired because of his skills as a “fast-talker.” At first, he is hesitant, believing the mission is personal rather than business-related until Dominic informs him that the amount is $100 million, with Tej stating that his cut will be just over $11 million.

Since then, Tyrese has starred in films such as Four Brothers, Annapolis, Ride Along 2, and Legion. Worked in the Transformers franchise since 2007. He’s also featured on Star in 2017, wrote two books, recorded four studio albums, and obtained five Grammy nominations.

In terms of future projects, Tyrese Gibson will reprise his role of Roman Pearce in the ninth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise – F9. He will also star alongside Jared Leto in the upcoming Marvel movie Morbius.

In 2001’s The Fast and the Furious and 2011’s Fast Five, he played Vince, Dom’s naive childhood friend. When Vince begins a battle with Brian O’Conner at the Toretto shop, Mia reacts by telling Dominic that she is sick of this nonsense, implying that Vince and Brian have previously clashed.

Vince begins a battle with Brian O’Conner at the Toretto shop, and Mia reacts by telling Dominic that she is sick of the nonsense, implying that Vince and Brian have previously clashed.

Matt Schulze went on to appear in films such as Blade II, The Transporter, Extract, and others before reprising his role as Vince in Fast Five in 2011. Before venturing into acting, Matt has wanted to be a studio musician after moving to Los Angeles in 1992.

However, his desire switched gradually when he started modeling. Matt Schulze became a father in 2012 when he welcomed a baby boy named Hendrix. Since then, he’s stopped acting.

Fans of the franchise will recognize Devon as the character Suki from the 2003 sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious. Suki is a friend of Brian O’Conner and an on-again, off-again girlfriend to Tej Parker.

She is known to be a great driver and she and her crew are entirely female, making Aoki’s character quite the powerhouse. Though this beauty no longer acts, she certainly made quite a splash with her few film features.

After getting her break-out role in the Fast and Furious franchise, she went on to get another supporting role in 2005 movie Sin City. After that, Aoki’s acting career really took off when she landed lead roles in DOA: Dead or Alive and Mutant Chronicles.

Since then, the sister of famed American DJ, Steve Aoki, has gone back to modeling full time. What a cool, talented, and good-looking family!

In 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious, Ludacris starred as mechanic and tech expert Tej Parker. Tej Parker is a former street racer who now works as a mechanic and technical advisor.

Tej is a character in the Fast and Furious series, and he is a friend of Brian O’Conner, who encouraged him to race while he lived in Miami, Florida. Afterward, Tej is hired by Dominic Toretto to steal money from a crooked Portuguese businessman, Hernan Reyes, and becomes a member of Dominic Toretto’s crew.

Christopher Bridges, popularly known as Ludacris, has starred in films such as Crash, Hustle & Flow, Rock’n’Rolla, Max Payne, and No Strings Attached since featuring in the Fast and Furious series.

He has also voiced a character in the 2018 film Show Dogs. Luda, as he is colloquially known in the rap game, released six studio albums, won three Grammys, and since 2017 he has hosted the MTV reboot of Fear Factor.

Deckard Shaw is Hattie and Owen Shaw’s older brother. He is also an ex-British military man and MI6 agent who became a mercenary. At the end of Fast and Furious 6, he entered the Fast and Furious franchise as mercenary Deckard Shaw.

Deckard tried to take revenge over his brother Owen, after his humiliating loss to Dominic Toretto and his men. He ended up vanquishing Han Seoul-Oh, a decision he later regretted. In 2015’s Furious 7, he played the main antagonist before joining Dom’s crew in 2017’s The Fate of the Furious.

Jason Statham has appeared in Homefront, The Expendables 3, Wild Card, Spy, and Mechanic: Resurrection since joining the Fast and Furious franchise.

In 2019, he starred with Dwayne Johnson in Hobbs and Shaw, the series’ first spinoff. Jason Statham is currently involved in two movies: Wrath of Man (2021) and Five Eyes (TBA).

In 2009’s Fast & Furious, Gal Gadot debuted as Gisele Yashar, a trafficker’s liaison who teams up with Dom’s crew and falls in love with Han. She appeared in two more installments in the franchise before passing at the end of Fast & Furious 6.

She was Arturo Braga’s go-to when he formed Dominic Toretto’s feelings, but he didn’t reciprocate. She tells him that delivering Braga’s substances across the border could put him in danger. During the confusion surrounding the trade set up as a trap for Braga, Dom saved her life. She repays the favor by revealing the location of Braga’s Mexican hideout.

Gal Gadot has acted in films such as Date Night, Knight and Day, Triple 9, Terrorist, and Keeping Up with the Joneses since making her feature film debut in Fast & Furious.

She made her most significant breakthrough in 2016 when she played Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. (She reprised the role in Wonder Woman and Justice League.)

In 2011’s Fast Five, he joined the Fast and Furious series as D.S.S. Agent Luke Hobbs, who joins Dom’s gang. Luke Hobbs was born and raised in Samoa, one of many boys and only one girl to an unidentified father and Sefina Hobbs. Hobbs’ father was a thief who committed several bank robberies but was absent from his children’s lives.

Luke felt obligated to report his father to the authorities to protect his remaining brothers, even though his actions made his brothers hate him. Luke and his sister were forced to flee Samoa and move to the United States of America.

Dwayne Johnson has starred in many action films and action comedies since joining the Fast and Furious series. This includes Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Hercules, San Andreas, Central Intelligence, Baywatch, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and Rampage.

He also plays Spencer Strasmore on Ballers and voiced Maui in Moana. The Rock is also excited to play the titular role of Black Adam in the upcoming DC movie which is sure to be a blockbuster.

After discovering the group hijacking trucks for their supplies, Brian went undercover to investigate Dom and his squad. It begins in 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, when he joined Dom’s band.

Under the alias Brian Earl Spilner, O’Conner first encounters Dominic as an undercover cop charged with bringing him to justice. Therefore, he assisted him in eluding police arrest twice. As well as helping in the disbarment of his childhood friend Roman Pearce’s criminal record.

Paul Walker passed away in a car accident at a charity function in Valencia, California, on Nov. 30, 2013, while taking a break from filming 2015’s Furious 7. He left his teen daughter Meadow Rain.

In scenes that he hadn’t shot for the iconic series’ seventh installment, his look-alike brother stood in for him. Before his passing, he featured in films such as Joy Ride, Into the Blue, Flags of our Fathers, and Takers.

When your parents are movie stars, it’s a great opportunity to land a couple of cameos. Who else has access to top movies, acclaimed directors, and superstar casts? These lucky kids have got themselves roles, some small, some large, in all sorts of films. From action to biopic, fantasy to comedy, there are celebrity offspring sprinkled throughout. Join us as we look again at the lucky celebrity kids that ended up on the big screen because of their family connections.

There’s a good story behind the casting of Vivienne Jolie Pitt as a young Aurora in fantasy film Maleficent. When the casting team was looking for kids to play the young princess, they ran into some problems. Namely, that all the little kids were terrified of Angelina Jolie dressed in villainous garb.

The actress explained, “It had to be a child that liked me and wasn’t afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.”

Nowadays, we know Sofia Coppola as an acclaimed filmmaker. Of course, she comes from a filmmaking family, including her father, director Francis Ford Coppola. Interestingly, Nicolas Cage is also part of this family, and cousins with Sofia.

Anyway, Sofia Coppola made her film debut by starring in her dad’s hit crime movie The Godfather. She played baby Michael Rizzi, or Little Mike. She also starred in the movie’s sequels but after receiving criticism she turned her hand to directing. Now, she’s an Oscar winner.

We have another family operation next with the sixth instalment of the Resident Evil franchise. This sci-fi action movie was written and directed by English filmmaker Paul W. S. Anderson. It starred his wife, actress Mila Jovovich as the lead character. And guess what? These two have a daughter!

Well, actually they have three daughters, but in this case, we’re talking about eldest daughter Ever. The pair’s daughter played the younger version of her mom’s character. She’s now an actor in her own right.

Isn’t it convenient when actors have newborn babies? That way, studios don’t need to source a tiny actor baby, and can just use the one already attached to a star. Handy! Little Eve Renner was only one month old when she first appeared on the big screen.

Eve is the daughter of actor Jeremy Renner, who plays a corrupt Mayor in black comedy American Hustle. When his character kisses a baby on the street, that’s his own little girl.

At this stage, lots of us are aware of Chet Hanks. He’s the black sheep of the Hanks family, headed by actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. While son Colin looks just like his actor dad, Chet is a whole other ballgame. He’s been involved in quite a few controversies and had various run-ins with the law.

Potentially as a favor to his famous father, Chet Hanks has a cameo in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He’s a student in the library.

There are several kids on this list who have played a younger version of their parents on the big screen. It definitely makes sense — who else has the actual DNA of these well-known faces? For the biopic of rapper Christopher Wallace, or Biggie Smalls, the casting director turned to his son, Christopher Wallace Jr.

Speaking about the role, young Christopher said, “I did well because I know how to react because my grandmother […] told me about him and his actions and other things.”

It’s easy to forget that singer and actress Liza Minnelli also comes from a showbiz lineage. She’s the daughter of iconic performer Judy Garland and performed with her many times. However, for her first-ever role, Liza had an uncredited cameo in her mom’s movie, In the Good Old Summertime.

By the age of seven, Liza was on stage for her mom’s variety show. By age 10, she was hosting. Now, she has the coveted EGOT — an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

Likewise, actor Ben Stiller comes from a famous family. He’s the son of comedy duo Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller. Of course, he too would end up in comedy! He has said, “It’s impossible to think of doing what I do if they hadn’t done what they do.”

And the tradition continues! Ben Stiller’s son Quinn landed a small role in one of his dad’s movies. He played the younger version of Alex the lion, Ben’s character, in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.

Actress and singer Rumer Willis has not one, but two, extremely famous actors as parents. As a result, she has appeared with both mom Demi Moore and dad Bruce Willis in various on-screen projects.

Rumer’s first-ever acting role was in the coming-of-age dramedy, Now and Then. The movie stars Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, and Melanie Griffith. Young Rumer played her mom’s sister Samantha in the movie. These days, she’s still appearing on the big screen. Plus, she won Dancing With the Stars!

Clearly, it’s common for Hollywood kids to go on to be just like their parents. That’s what we have with John David Washington, who’s now a very successful actor in his own right. But, Denzel Washington’s son had to start somewhere, and that was with a cameo.

In Denzel’s epic biopic, Malcolm X, John David plays a student in a Harlem classroom. He’s the first kid to stand up and say, “I’m Malcolm X.” Denzel’s mom also had a cameo, playing Mrs. Johnson.

And so we begin the first of our many Star Wars entries. It makes sense — it would be cruel to be involved in Star Wars, have a child, and not try to combine the two. Which kid would turn down an afternoon surrounded by lightsabers and Wookiees? Not this one!

Director George Lucas adopted daughter Katie as a single parent. She appears as Anakin Skywalker’s childhood friend in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. She even has a line!

We couldn’t get a picture of Alexandrea Martin’s face in either of her cameos, but we guarantee she was there! The daughter of actress Whoopi Goldberg has appeared as an extra in several of her mom’s big hits. Firstly, she was a child in the Easter scene of 1985’s The Color Purple.

After that, Alexandrea was an extra in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. Considering this is one of the best movies ever, she must have been delighted. Oh, happy day!

For many, Dakota Johnson is just an actress. But really, she’s an actress raised by actors. Dakota is the daughter of actress Melanie Griffith, who herself is the daughter of actress Tippi Hedren. Dakota’s father is actor Don Johnson, though her stepfather is actor Antonio Banderas. That’s a whole lot of acting royalty!

As a result, Dakota had a cameo in Crazy in Alabama, starring her mom, and directed by her step-dad. In this picture, she’s the one with braids and overalls.

We have a two for one up next with DC superhero movie Wonder Woman 1984. In this scene from the film, the handsome smiling man is actually actress Gal Gadot’s husband, Yaron Varsano. Beside him, happily riding a carousel horse, is the couple’s daughter Maya. The picture of contentment!

Gal and Israeli real estate developer Yaron got married in 2008. They have three daughters in total. In 2019, the couple started their own production company. Expect more mini-me cameos!

Here’s another well-known actor that comes from a family of performers. She’s one of four of director and actor Ron Howard’s children. Interestingly, Ron and wife Cheryl kept their kids away from showbiz. In fact, they weren’t even allowed to watch TV. Presumably, this is because Ron started working at five years old.

However, the kids were allowed to be extras in their dad’s movies. Bryce played the red-headed girl in the audience in the family comedy, Parenthood. She’s also in Apollo 13.

We didn’t know that director Alfred Hitchcock had a daughter, but we can certainly see the similarity. The extremely influential English director married screenwriter Alma Reville in 1926 and they had one daughter, named Patricia.

Patricia wanted to be an actress and got several small roles in her father’s films. She was an acting student in Stage Fright, a lover in Strangers on a Train, and Marion’s co-worker Caroline in Psycho. She passed away in 2021 at 93 years old.

Doesn’t Melissa Rivers look exactly like her mom Joan? Clearly, that was the point for this small cameo in biopic Joy. The late comedian’s daughter was the perfect choice to play a younger version of her mom. Melissa is the star’s only daughter with producer Edgar Rosenberg.

Speaking about the part, Melissa said, “I wanted to make sure it looked right. I wanted to make sure that it was respectful. And honestly, once the wig was on I stopped looking in a mirror — it was too bizarre.”

Director Judd Apatow is regularly trolled by his two daughters online. The pair have been starring in their dad’s movies since they were little kids. Plus, their mom is actress Leslie Mann, so they have double the opportunities.

Iris and Maude Apatow played giggling sisters in their dad’s comedy Knocked Up, alongside their mom. They then reprised their roles in spin-off This Is 40, and appeared in comedy-drama Funny People. Since then, Maude has landed some major roles of her own.

Our next entry is another celebrity kid playing a younger version of their parent’s character. In black comedy crime movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, young Indio Falconer Downey plays the nine-year-old version of his father’s character. Plus, Robert Downey Jr’s wife, Susan Levin, executive-produced the movie.

Indio is the son of the actor along with singer and actress Deborah Falconer. They tied the knot after only 42 days of knowing each other. Funnily enough, they split up.

Here’s another Star Wars entry, though with a somewhat older child. In Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, released in 1983, Billy Dee Williams played Lando Calrissian. While there, he got his son. Corey Dee Williams, a part playing one of Jabba the Hutt’s henchmen.

As well as this fun part, Corey doubled for his dad. 36 years after this movie was released, Billy Dee Williams appeared in The Rise of Skywalker. That’s one of the longest breaks between playing the same part ever!

Directors’ kids must have all sorts of opportunities to jump into the background of scenes. For Ivan Reitman, both of his children ended up on screen in Ghostbusters II. His son Jason is the kid that tells the Ghostbusters, “You know my dad says you guys are full of crap.” Amazingly, he’s the director of 2021’s Ghostbusters Afterlife.

Ivan Reitman’s daughter, Catherine, also appears in the movie. She’s the little girl in Egon’s lab with a puppy at the beginning. Now, she’s the creator of Workin’ Moms.

The title of this 2003 comedy-drama was perfect for the men that ended up starring in it. Yes, we admit, this is slightly more than a cameo. In this movie, three generations of the Douglas family star together as three generations of a family. Imagine?

Acting legend Kirk Douglas played the grandfather, his son Michael played the son, and his son Cameron played the grandson. Plus, Kirk’s ex-wife and Michael’s mom also starred. Still with us? Kirk is just out of shot in this snap from the movie.

Towards the beginning of comedy-drama Forrest Gump, a young Forrest boards the bus to school. He tries to sit beside a freckle-faced little girl, but she won’t let him take the seat next to her. Amusingly, that little girl was actor Tom Hanks’ daughter, Elizabeth. She was credited as “School Bus Girl.” What a role!

Elizabeth is Tom’s daughter from his first marriage to actress Samantha Lewes. Her brother is actor Colin Hanks, who looks just like his famous father.

Angelina Jolie has already been on our list as a parent, but now she’s here as a child. Angie is the daughter of actor Jon Voight, though the pair have been estranged for some time. The actress made her first-ever appearance on screen in this comedy, which was released back in 1982.

Jon Voight wrote and starred in this movie, which followed two New Yorkers trying to break a casino bank. Angelina is Voight’s daughter with actress Marcheline Bertrand.

And here she is again! Well, her child anyway. This time, Angelina and Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh appeared in an uncredited cameo in one of his movies. She was just 20 months old at the time, and played Benjamin and Daisy’s infant daughter Caroline.

Since then, Shiloh hasn’t done any more acting. However, she has done voice work in one of her mom’s movies. Angelina has said, “We think it’s fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors.”

We’ve seen Christopher Wallace Jr. play his rapper father in a biopic, and this entry is along those lines again. However, O’Shea Jackson Jr. didn’t just play the younger version of his father in a flashback — he played him for the entire movie.

Speaking about taking on the role of Ice Cube, he said, “[The director] knew that this movie had to be authentic and nobody is going to handle this role as passionately as I would because it’s my family’s legacy.”

OK, back to a classic cameo for our next entry. This time it’s the third and final installment of Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels. Towards the end of this epic fantasy adventure movie, the weary gang return home to the Shire. Then, they’re greeted joyfully by their families.

When Samwise Gamgee (played by Sam Astin) returns home, he gets a hug from his real-life daughter. The adorable curly-haired girl that grabs him is Alexandra Astin herself.

This is a real blink and you’ll miss it cameo. In psychological drama Eyes Wide Shut, there’s a moment where Tom Cruise’s Dr. Bill Harford is attending to a child. In the background, the boy’s mother stands against the wall. And that’s director Stanley Kubrick’s daughter, Katherina.

The acclaimed director has two daughters from his marriage to German actress Christina Harlan. Katherina is actually Harlan’s daughter from a previous relationship. She also made original paintings for this movie.

When it comes to famous kids, the Smith children must be up there. These days, Willow just goes by her first name, but she certainly owes a lot to that surname. She appeared in her first movie in 2007, playing the daughter of her dad’s character.

After that, Willow starred as the younger version of her mom’s character Gloria in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Because of these early experiences, Willow decided at a young age to go into acting. Now, she’s a singer.

While some celebrity offspring get given roles, others have to work for them. According to Clint Eastwood’s son Scott, he always had to audition for a role in one of his father’s movies. Plus, the actor initially used Reeves as a surname to avoid getting credit for his dad’s impressive movie legacy.

Scott Eastwood appeared in Flags of Our Fathers, which was directed by his dad. While he might not be as well-known as some of our celebrity kids, he’s clearly following in the footsteps of his father.

It must be great to have little kids while working on a superhero movie. It’s the perfect way to see whether the world and characters you’re creating will excite little minds. In this superhero sequel, director Jon Favreau’s son Max managed to get a great little cameo.

He’s the kid wearing an Iron Mask at the Stark Expo who stands up to Hammer Drone. Interestingly, actor Tom Holland has since confirmed that the character was actually a young Peter Parker.

We’ve already mentioned George Lucas’ daughter Katie, but the director has more than one kid! In fact, he has four altogether. Jett Lucas was also adopted by the director as a single dad.

Young Jett got surely the most ideal role for a little boy with a close connection to a galaxy far, far away. In the 2005 entry of the epic space opera, he played the youngling who saves Bail Organa. We bet he has a bunch of lightsabers at home.

Another star with a famous family is beloved late actress Carrie Fisher. Of course, she had her breakthrough in George Lucas’ beloved sci-fi movies back in the ’70s. Carrie was the daughter of actress Debbie Reynolds and singer-actor Eddie Fisher.

Though she was a bookish child, young Carrie appeared on Broadway with her mom at age 16. Carrie Fisher also has a bunch of movie cameos. She’s a “mystery girl” in The Blues Brothers, and appeared with her mom in These Old Broads.

And here’s another! We didn’t realize Laura Dern comes from an acting family, but now we know. The Oscar-winning actress is the daughter of two actors — Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern. Laura had an uncredited part as an extra in one of her mom’s movies in the ’70s.

However, her first credited role was in comedy-drama Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. Again, her mom was in the film. She’s the little blonde girl eating ice cream at the counter in Mel’s Diner.

It’s time for another lucky kid that found himself in a superhero movie. We bet that went down well at school. This time, we’re talking about DC Comics sequel The Dark Knight Rises, released in 2012.

Like the other movies in this trilogy, this entry was directed by British-American director Christopher Nolan. The filmmaker is married to Emma Thomas, and they have four kids. One of them — Rory — was a little boy at the bridge in the movie.

So, Carrie Fisher is the daughter of Debbie Reynolds, but Carrie’s daughter is Billie Lourd. And guess what? She’s been on your screens too. Billie auditioned to play Rey in the new installments of the beloved franchise, but instead got the role of Lieutenant Connix.

Amazingly, Carrie and Billie were able to star in an installment of the series together, despite Carrie passing away before its release. She said, “It was like she had left us a gift that would allow Leia’s story to be completed.”

Now, for something a little different. In the fifth entry to the View Askewniverse movies, there’s a scene of Jay and Silent Bob as babies. And who better to get to play a baby version of yourself than your own child? They basically are baby versions of yourself.

So, Kevin Smith’s daughter Harley Quinn Smith played the younger version of her dad’s character, Silent Bob. In a later entry to the franchise, she played Millennium “Milly” Faulken.

And here’s yet another acting dynasty that’s been in Hollywood for decades. At the head of this entertainment family is Lloyd Bridges, an actor who appeared on TV and in over 150 movies. Lloyd had four kids, including actors Beau and Jeff. Both of the boys appeared in their father’s shows and movies over the years.

Jeff Bridges had his first-ever on-screen appearance just after his 1st birthday. He had the uncredited role of Infant at Train Station. Meanwhile, Beau played Kid at Train Station.

Much like the kids who get to temporarily enter universes full of superheroes, it must be great to have a parent that works in fantasy. What more would a small child want than to be able to actually set foot in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

The director of the first installment of the magical franchise was American filmmaker Chris Columbus. He got his daughter Eleanor the part of first-year Susan Bones, who gets called for the sorting hat.

It’s easy to forget that Charlie Sheen is also part of a seriously talented family. At a young age, Charlie — or Carlos Estevez — was making movies with his brother Emilio and friends Sean Penn and Rob Lowe.

Back in the ’70s, Charlie’s dad, Martin Sheen, got a role in a TV movie. During shooting, nine-year-old Charlie was on set and managed to get a role as an extra. The two would go on to work together many times.

British-born Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland grew up with two successful actors as parents. In fact, he’s named after the person who directed Donald Sutherland in his first-ever movie.

When Kiefer was in his teens, he had a cameo in one of his dad’s movies. He has since said that this interested him in his father’s world, and he realized he was famous. Now, Kiefer has an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and two SAG awards for his own performances.

Mark Hamill is best known for playing Luke Skywalker in George Lucas’ first sci-fi trilogy. As well as that, he’s provided the voices for several characters, including the Joker in various DC projects. Mark Hamill has three kids, and they’ve all made appearances in their dad’s movies.

Meryl Streep’s daughter, Mamie Gummer, has appeared alongside her in a bunch of movies. Like many other famous kids on this list, young Mamie ended up pursuing acting as her own career. Mamie’s dad is sculptor Don Gummer, and she has three siblings.

Mamie’s on-screen debut was with her mom in this 1986 comedy-drama. She was 20 months old at the time, and credited as Natalie Stern. Apparently, this was to avoid any extra press attention. Mamie and Meryl have since acted together.

We’ve seen Willow Smith’s first movie role, but what about her siblings, Jaden and Trey? Well, we know that Jaden starred alongside his dad in 2006 drama The Pursuit of Happyness. At just eight years old, it was his first lead role.

Finally, we close with some more kids that got to have a great time on a superhero movie set. Will Arnett and Amy Poehler’s children, Abel and Archie, were visiting their actor dad on set and walked away with two minor voice roles. The celebrity sons play orphans in the movie.

Hilariously, the kids then bragged about their roles to Idina Menzel’s daughter. Apparently, the actress joked to Arnett, “Thanks, now Frozen’s not good enough for my kids.”
