Many celebrities born in the late 80s’ and 90s’ didn’t have ordinary childhood like most of us. Because they came to this world into families with Hollywood traditions or musical heritage, they have lots of advantages and complications that star-wannabes never knew. Regardlessly, no matter how big their seniors’ names have become, those offspring yearn to prove themselves and that they do belong to stardom too.
On the one hand, celebs’ kids have chances to learn helpful tips and get offered to enter the entertainment industry. On the other hand, facing the adult world of glamour and fame too early can leave scars in their hearts. One way or another, we hope they can soar their wings and become real performing artists.
We have rounded several popular faces and names in the industry. You might have heard about them, but you might not know they are children and grandkids of other even more famous people. Curious yet? Here they are!
