SECOND-GENERATION STARS
These chips off the old block are becoming as famous as their folks
Billie Lourd, daughter of Carrie Fisher Star Wars
The only child of the late icon is a thirdgeneration star – her grandparents were performers Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Lourd’s father, Bryan, is also in the business – he’s a partner at Creative Artists Agency. The 26-year-old made her feature film debut in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and is part of Ryan Murphy’s ensemble, having appeared in Scream Queens and American Horror Story.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger
Born in 1993 to the action star/future politician and his journalist wife, Maria Shriver, Patrick, 25, has begun to make a name for himself in the past couple of years in projects such as war miniseries The Long Road Home and film Midnight Sun opposite Bella Thorne, and will next be seen as the title character in Daniel Isn’t Real.
Zoë Kravitz, daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet
At the time of her birth in 1988, it was her A Different World star mother who acted, while her father was emerging as one of the music industry’s biggest new names. But since his turn in 2009’s Precious, Lenny has added acting to his resumé. Zoë’s own acting CV is impressive, with the 30-year-old having featured in the Fantastic Beasts, X-men and Divergent franchises.
Dakota Johnson, daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson The Harrad
Her parents met when Don starred in Experiment with Griffith’s mother, actress Tippi Hedren, in the 1970s, but both became stars in the ’80s thanks to TV’S Miami Vice and the film Working Girl. After a lead role in Ben and Kate, Dakota, 29, shot to worldwide fame thanks to the Fifty Shades franchise.
Max Irons, son of Jeremy Irons and Sinéad Cusack
The 33-year-old actor and model’s parents both act, each dividing their time between film, television and theatre work. Over the past decade, Max has appeared in increasingly prominent films roles, including Red Riding Hood, The Host and The Riot Club. In 2018, he was the lead character in spy series Condor.
Scott Eastwood, son of Clint Eastwood
His first few roles – including his movie debut in his father’s 2006 directorial effort Flags of Our Fathers – were under the name Scott Reeves (the surname of his mother, Jacelyn). But since 2009, he’s been working professionally as Scott Eastwood, including in box-office hits Suicide Squad, The Fate of the Furious and Pacific Rim Uprising. The 32-year-old is currently shooting war drama The Outpost, in which he plays a character named Clint.
