Which actor/actress were you surprised to discover is hugely connected?

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Kate Hudson - my god i had no idea her mum is Goldie Hawn

Just finished season 2 of Running Point (really good)

Step dad is Kurt Russell - who's own dad was an actor

You must be young 😂

Look up Drew Barrymore.

That’s what I thought😀

They are all connected, all of them.

34 😅

Can't believe I had zero clue, just thought she was part of that 00s era of actors!

My google search brought up

John Drew Barrymore was a member of the Barrymore family of actors... 😅 omg

Well, look up Gwyneth Paltrow, Maya Hawke, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nicolas Cage, Sofia Coppola etc.

Or in the UK, look up Emilia Fox, Joely Richardson etc.

They all are, pretty much.

I knew about Emilia fox - i think she's good tbh, as is the younger brother who was in Cheaters

The less said about Lawrence the better

I do wonder if there are any prominent actors still around who arent from big families

Kate Hudson has two actor brothers- Oliver Hudson(Rules of Engagement) and Wyatt Russell who has recently been in Monarch alongside his dad!

There's a whole wiki page on list of entertainment industry dynasties. Very few new people enter the industry with absolutely no family connection it seems. The list is very long!

Rafe Spall, Samuel West, the Cusacks

Jamie Lee Curtis is super-connected. Her mum was Janet Leigh and her dad was Tony Curtis - Hollywood A listers. Her husband is Christopher Guest of Spinal Tap fame, or as he’s known to the aristocracy here, Baron Christopher Haden-Guest, making Jamie Lee a baroness!

The recent reviews of Euphoria made me check the writer/director Sam Levinson. His dad is Barry Levinson (directed Rain Man, Good Morning Vietnam).

It’s more rare not to be connected.

Not an actor but a formula one driver.
Max Verstappen's partner Kelly Piquet is the daughter of Nelson Piquet (F1 driver), the father of her eldest child is Danil Kyvat (F1 driver) . Max himself is the son of Jos Verstappen (F1 driver).

what are we supposed to be voting on?
what's the AIBU?
most posters of vacuous threads at least make some attempt on this.

But you know about James Fox, Edward Fox and Robert Fox, right?

You’ll find that most of them are.

Even the ones that cry a past of poverty, you’ll find that they are related to or actually went to uni with hugely connected people or their parents did.

Many years ago, I worked for an agency representing people. It was quite eye opening how some of it was hidden.

I... didnt 🙈

Wow

And didnt know that Natasha Richsrdson (may she rest) was a daughter of Vanessa Redgrave of the Redgrave dynasty!

What chance has the ordinary person got eh

Almost zero.

film, TV, music, writing, politics, any entertainment it’s pretty much a closed club.

Big Mo and Sirius Black are siblings. Wild.

A hill that I will die on is that Lillia Turner (lily in eastenders) is Stacey's real life sister - it doesnt matter but just irks me that theyre not open about it 😄
