Moms and dads want only the best for their children, so they try to provide them with a comfortable and happy life. And what can show business figures offer their offspring? Of course, to pave the way to the cinema. These actors and actresses were born into wealthy and popular families.
Lily-Rose Depp
The daughter of actor Johnny Depp and singer Vanessa Paradis became Karl Lagerfeld’s muse and the face of a Chanel ad campaign at 16, and a year earlier, she debuted in Kevin Smith’s body horror film "Tusk.” The 25-year-old actress has appeared in more than ten films, including the drama "The King" and the controversial series "The Idol." Critics say that without the patronage of her fame, Lily-Rose Depp wouldn’t have become a sought-after model or a popular actress - if she lacks the height for the runway, she lacks the talent for film.
Nicolas Cage
The cult hero of millions began his career at the dawn of the 80s. The star of the films " Face /Off", "Gone in 60 Seconds" and "Ghost Rider" has long been entrenched in Hollywood, so no one remembers which family the actor comes from. The uncle of 60-year–old Nicolas Cage is the outstanding director Francis Ford Coppola, who shot The Godfather.
Emma Roberts
The charming blonde debuted in film at the age of ten. Since then, the 33-year-old actress has starred in many successful films, including "Nancy Drew," "Scream 4," "We're the Millers," "Scream Queens," "American Horror Story: Coven," and others. Roberts is the niece of Julia Roberts. From a young age,the girl visited her aunt’s film sets and decided to follow in her footsteps.
Gwyneth Paltrow
The Oscar winner first appeared in films in 1991 – and she is still being called into high-profile projects. So, now the 52-year-old blonde is filming with the girls' favorite Timothy Chalamet in the film "Marty Supreme". Gwyneth Paltrow was born to shine on the screen, because her father is director Bruce Paltrow.
Benedict Cumberbatch
The cinematic Sherlock Holmes is a distinguished actor and the embodiment of the virtues of British cinema. The 48-year-old Cumberbatch is capable of any role—from the mysterious Doctor Strange to King Richard III and the famous mathematician Alan Turing. Acting in detective stories runs in the family for Cumberbatch: his mother, Wanda Ventham, starred in the series "Midsomer Murders," and his father, Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch, appeared in "Agatha Christie's Poirot."
Blake Lively
The 37-year-old beauty is more known today as the wife of Ryan Reynolds, but she has roles in "Gossip Girl," "Green Lantern," "The Age of Adaline," and other notable projects under belt. A mother of four, she resumed her career this year with the film "It Ends with Us." Perhaps Blake Lively's decision was influenced by her father, Ernie Lively, an actor who couldn't achieve the same level of success as his daughter?
Keira Knightley
The young actress started working with her first agent at six years old. Today, the 39-year-old star’s filmography is envied by colleagues. She has been equally impressive in adaptations of classics ("Anna Karenina," "Pride and Prejudice," "Doctor Zhivago") and popular blockbusters ("Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace," "Pirates of the Caribbean"). Keira Knightley is a worthy successor of a creative dynasty: her father is actor Will Knightley, and her mother is playwright Sharman Macdonald.
