8 Stars Who Have Found Their Own Fame Without Using Their Celebrity Parents' Last Names And Extra Privilege

In Hollywood, it might be advantageous to grow up as a celebrity’s child. Every benefit is offered to these children. They could probably achieve almost anything they wanted because they had unlimited resources. So, with or without talent, the idea of nepotism or riding on the coattails of famous families is not something new. While this isn’t surprising in the least, there are a few famous people with kids who are attempting a totally different approach.

   
⁠

Today, we are going to show you 8 celebrity kids who are creating their own legacies in their own unique ways. For instance, they’re doing it by electing to go by a different stage name or by refusing to accept the last name of their renowned father in order to support themselves entirely through their abilities. Scroll down for more details!

#1 Billie Lourd, daughter of Carrie Fisher

Billie comes from Hollywood aristocracy as the granddaughter of Debbie Reynolds and the late Carrie Fisher. Additionally, the 30-year-old is exploring acting, just like the more senior members of her family. She has decided not to adopt her mother’s or grandmother’s well-known last names, nevertheless.

The young actress said that she was prepared to fully emerge from their shadows and pursue her own path after their deaths.  “I love being my mother’s daughter, and it’s something I always will be, but now I get to be just Billie.”, she declared.

#2 Mabel, daughter of Neneh Cherry

Mabel has her famous mother Neneh Cherry’s talent for music. The 26-year-old has said that she initially had little interest in music because she wanted to disprove the notion that she wanted to emulate her mother. But the young lady is already building a name for herself in the music industry because of her ability and enthusiasm for music.

#3 Micheál Richardson, son of Liam Neeson

The oldest child of Liam Neeson and the late actress Natasha Richardson, Micheál, 27, lost his mother in a skiing accident when he was just 13 years old in 2009.

Despite the fact that his last name is well-known due to the blockbusters his father has played in, the young guy, who is also pursuing a career in acting, has chosen to adopt his mother’s last name in honour of her. His grandmother had given an explanation for his choice, adding, “That wasn’t because he wanted to avoid his father’s fame, which is enormous. He wanted to hold his mother close to him.”

#4 Louisa Jacobson, daughter of Meryl Streep

Louisa, who is 31 years old, is the youngest and fourth child of actress Meryl Streep and her husband, artist Don Gummer. The young woman has chosen to follow in the professional footsteps of her well-known mother and has even secured one of the series’ starring parts in “The Gilded Age”.

Louisa hasn’t adopted the Streep name, though, nor has she retained her father’s, in an effort to further her professional career. Instead, she chooses to disassociate herself from her well-known family by using her middle name as her professional last name.

#5 Grace Gummer, daughter of Meryl Streep

The third child of Meryl Streep and Don Gummer is Grace, who is 36. She has opted to pursue a profession in acting, and doesn’t rely on her well-known mother’s name to open additional doors.

In truth, Grace began her career at the age of just 7, but to conceal the fact that she was Steep’s daughter, she was given the name Jane Grey.

#6 Elle King, daughter of Rob Schneider

Her father is none other than renowned comedian Rob Schneider, and Elle’s mother is a former model. The 33-year-old singer, whose actual name is Tanner Elle Schneider, has chosen to use her mother’s last name professionally in place of her own.

She once said, “I wanted to be myself. I am my own person.”. “I worked really hard, and I did everything myself, and I took my mother’s name […] because I wanted to be myself.”, Elle continued.

#7 Riley Keough, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley

Riley’s family has an unrivalled artistic tradition thanks to Lisa Marie Presley, her mother, and Elvis Presley, her grandfather. At one point, Michael Jackson was even her stepfather.

However, the actress, singer, and model, 33, previously remarked, “I always wanted to have my own money – not my family’s money.” She even fessed up to not wanting to play her famous granddad in the 2022 biopic. “It’s intense enough to watch, I don’t want to act in it.”, she said.

#8 Sophie Von Haselberg, daughter of Bette Midler

Sophie decided to forge her own path in Hollywood despite being the exact replica of her well-known mother and sharing a strong relationship with her.

The 36-year-old stated that Bette urged her to concentrate on her schooling rather than pursue a career in the film business. At Yale University, Sophie double-majored in sociology and Asian Studies, but her acting ambitions persisted. In 2014, she made her theatrical debut after deciding to make it her career.
