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.”
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.
Meryl Streep’s daughter: Mamie Gummer
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.
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."
Jamie Lee Curtis’ daughter: Annie Guest
Everyone was caught by surprise when Annie Guest appeared with her mother, Jamie Lee Curtis, at the Golden Globe awards back in 2016. Very few recognized Annie on the red carpet probably because the last time she was publicly seen in a formal entertainment-related event with her mother was back when she was a mere child.
Compare her picture then and now. Who would think that this adorable cutie would morph into a woman who has a passion for dancing? As it turns out, Annie was as passionate as her mommy to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. But unlike her mommy, she chose to have a dancing career instead of acting. Annie graduated with a BFA in Dance from Kenyon College. She now works as a dance teacher in Los Angeles.
