Mamie Gummer has some big shoes to fill. She is the daughter of multi-award-winning actress Meryl Streep. Her father is Don Gummer. It makes sense that she uses her father’s last name as the pressure of being Streep could be immense. Similar to other celebrity kids, Mamie appeared alongside her actress mother in the 1986 movie, “Heartburn.”
She once again appeared on-screen with her mother in the 2015 movie “Ricki and the Flash.” Besides movies, Gummer has also appeared on television via the series “The Good Wife,” “The Collection,” and “Emily Owens M.D.” Though once married to actor Benjamin Walker, Gummer is now amicably separated.
Lance Armstrong’s daughter: Grace Armstrong
Being Lance Armstrong’s daughter is no easy feat considering that Lance was accused of lying and other stuff he might have done. It was back in 2012 when he was found using performance-enhancing substitutes– an event that caused authorities to revoke and void all his titles.
Despite these controversies, Grace managed to handle these stresses with grace. She continues to support her father both in his biking career as well as personally. Grace is willing to stand by her dad through and through.
Jada Pinkett-Smith’s son: Jaden Smith
The Smith family is a family gifted with talent, skill, and good looks. Jaden Smith, like his sibling Willow, is also into acting and music. However, Jaden is recently focusing his energy on movies and television. He co-starred in his father’s movie, "The Pursuit of Happiness." He was also seen in the film, "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
Jaden is similarly serious about making a name for himself away from the shadow of his famous parents. He reportedly moved out of his parents’ $4 million home to become independent. He will certainly miss this home, based on his interview on "The Ellen Show" where he revealed that everything he eats and uses in the Will Smith household is totally free.
Tom Hanks' son: Colin Hanks
Colin Hanks should thank his lucky stars for getting his father’s acting genes. His famous dad is Oscar award winner Tom, and her mother is actress Samantha Lewes. Even without the help of his father, though his last name certainly helped, Colin has appeared in a slew of roles since 1996.
His first television debut was on the sci-fi series, "Roswell." Looking a tad similar to his dad, Colin is not just into acting. He directed "All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records" back in 2015. He also did voice acting in the animated series, "PAW Patrol."
Sean Penn’s daughter: Dylan Penn
Dylan Penn is the daughter of edgy yet talented actor Sean Penn, and sweet actress Robin Wright. Despite her parents being both in the acting profession, Dylan chose a different path – she pursued a modeling career. She has been seen in campaigns for Gap. She was also featured in magazines such as "Elle" and "GQ."
However, expressing her artistic side seems to run in her blood as she is aching to work behind the scenes as a director and writer. But before she makes her own film, she is trying her hand at acting via the movies "Elvis & Nixon" and "Condemned."
