Born under a lucky star
If you think about it, being born into a celebrity family is not the most enviable fate. Firstly, you know all the ins and outs of show business from an early age. Secondly, all your teenage mistakes immediately become public. Although there are also such star children who use the names of their parents wisely: we will talk about just such, while in the nearest cinema you can watch how Dakota Johnson (daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith) learns the joys of BDSM in 50 Shades of Grey.

1. Dylan Brosnan, 18
Parents: Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shay Smith.
The son of ex-Bond drew attention last fall, when 17-year-old Dylan became the face of the Saint Laurent Men's Permanent Collection advertising campaign. Along the way, Dylan plays the guitar and often performs in Los Angeles bars, but in general he dreams of becoming a politician. Maybe my father's spy connections would help.
2. Grace Gummer, 28, and Mamie Gummer, 31
Parents: Meryl Streep and Don Gummer.
The youngest daughter of Meryl Streep, 23-year-old Louise, works as a model, but the two older ones followed in the footsteps of their mother, and they are very successful. Both are insanely similar to their mother, and both began their careers on the same set with Meryl. Grace just played a full-face tattooed nurse in the fourth season of American Horror Story, and Mamie has a lead role on her resume, although her Dr. Emily Owens was canceled after the first season due to low ratings. But she played Sonya in "Uncle Vanya" in the New York theater.
3. Patrick Schwarzenegger, 21
Parents: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.
Patrick clearly inherited his father's talent for multitasking. He has not yet got involved in politics or bodybuilding, but he pumped up the press just in case. He also managed to launch his own clothing line, start acting in films (the first serious role was in Odnoklassniki 2) and start his tabloid career with an affair with Miley Cyrus. The media is delighted: as it became known, Maria Schweiver condemns the choice of her son, and Arnold, on the contrary, is in favor with all the muscles.
4. Willow Smith, 14, and Jaden Smith, 16
Parents: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Someday (and probably very soon) the Smith clan will make a series in the spirit of "Empire". Will Smith, often on the list of the richest Americans under the age of 40, immediately began to raise future successors from his children. At first, Willow and Jayden starred in films with their father, and then the geeks became independent celebrities: Willow sang a super hit about waving pigtails and now writes music under the strict supervision of Jay-Z. And Jayden raps, plays movies and releases clothes. In general, Will and Jada can sleep peacefully.
5. Sasha Spielberg, 24
Parents: Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.
It is important to note right away that the daughter of Steven Spielberg and the Russian underage video blogger Sasha Spielberg are, oddly enough, different people. And although Stephen’s daughter has several hundred thousand times fewer followers on Instagram than our compatriot, she is also doing quite well: she acts in films a lot, and together with her brother Theo (whom the Spielbergs adopted) founded the indie duet Wardell.
6. Emma Roberts, 24
Parents: Eric Roberts and Kelly Cunningham.
Emma's success was completely predictable, given the realities of clan Hollywood. Interestingly, it is still unclear which path Emma will take: her star aunt Julia or her father Eric (a fan of playing movies of categories from B to Z). Emma made her debut in "Cocaine" and has since interfered with roles in high-profile films ("We're the Millers") and more festival productions ("Palo Alto"). And for the last couple of years, he has been part of the main cast of American Horror Story. Probably my father advised.
7. Dakota Johnson, 25
Parents: Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.
When your parents are the sex symbols of the 1980s and 1990s, you need to learn how to be sexy from an early age. And even more so if you were approved for the lead role in the film adaptation of the most high-profile sex novel of the generation. It remains to be hoped that after "50 Shades of Grey" Dakota will be able to continue her journey in the modeling world, which she has been dreaming of since school.
8. Zoe Kravitz, 26
Parents: Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet.
Zoe is the perfect It-girl in the best possible way. She has appeared in blockbusters like X-Men: First Class and Divergent, as well as modest independent productions. In her free time, she sings in the band Lolawolf (be sure to listen to their fresh song Bitch), works as a model and designs jewelry.
9. Brooklyn Beckham, 15
Parents: David Beckham and Victoria Beckham.
David Beckham knows that a love of football and a sense of style must be instilled from childhood, so his son Brooklyn is already training at the Arsenal academy and already knows how to style his hair perfectly. And he also understands perfectly well that you need to meet with no less famous girls, so his chosen one (according to rumors, of course) is the young actress Chloe Grace Moretz.
10. Georgia May Jagger, 23
Parents: Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall.
Georgia May has been lucky three times already: with a model mother, a rocker father and a spectacular gap between her teeth. Shcherbinka has already been appreciated on all fashion fronts: from Madonna's daughter Lourdes to Vivienne Westwood. No wonder Georgia May was called to represent British fashion at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
11. Scott Eastwood, 28
Parents: Clint Eastwood and Jacelyn Allen Reeves.
The son of Clint Eastwood and flight attendant Jacelyn Allen Reeves grew up in Hawaii and began acting in films under the name Scott Disick, but soon realized that the resemblance to his father could not be hidden. He starred in both serious movies (Fury and Gran Torino) and outright trash (Texas Massacre 3D). But he lives in San Diego and likes to quote his father's main parting words: "Be humble, work hard and remain a man."
12. Lourdes Ciccone, 18
Parents: Madonna and Carlos Leon.
Madonna's daughter focused on fashion. In 2010, together with her mother, she created her own clothing brand for teenage girls, named after one of Madonna's most famous hits - Material Girl. The faces of the brand have already been Taylor Momsen, Kelly Osbourne, Georgia May Jagger and Zendaya. Along the way, Lourdes maintains a blog where she talks about her fashion preferences and shares quotes from Beyoncé's songs.
13. Chester Hanks, 24
Parents: Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
Tom Hanks' eldest son Colin has long been a celebrity in his own right, while Chester Hanks' career has only just begun. And it didn’t start off in the smoothest way: the young rapper was recently treated for cocaine addiction (it looks like he was too inspired by his cameo role in Project X). But the guy is getting better: now he sings sensual R&B-pop under the name Chet Haze, and in the summer he will appear in the new Fantastic Four.
14. Eliot Sumner, 24
Parents: Sting and Trudie Styler.
When Elliot Sumner came to Moscow to perform under the pseudonym I Blame Coco in 2011, her PR people urged her to avoid questions about her parents in interviews. And they did it right: on the first (and so far the only) disc, Sting's daughter with a rough, almost masculine voice gave out an impressive mixture of synthpop and new wave with her uncompromisingness. In 2013, she recorded a rather sublime cover of Radiohead's "Creep", started performing under her own name, and is currently touring with Lykke Lee and quietly writing her second album.
