16 Celebrities You Might Not Have Realised Have Famous Families

Dakota Johnson got her big break in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie franchise alongside Jamie Dornan, and her mother, Hollywood actress Melanie Griffith, gushed about the casting at the time. The role was a long time coming for Dakota, who grew up watching her mother and father, Don Johnson, on set. However, when she voiced her ambition to follow her parents into the acting business, her dad cut her off financially. Luckily, three weeks later, she booked her first acting gig in the 2010 movie "The Social Network".

Dakota, who's currently dating Coldplay's Chris Martin, is one of the most well-known stars in the industry today, having starred in critically acclaimed films such as "The Lost Daughter", "The Peanut Butter Falcon", and, most recently, Netflix's "Persuasion". She's currently filming Marvel's "Madame Web".

Lily Collins is the daughter of legendary British singer Phil Collins. Having grown up with her mother, Jill Tavelman, in Los Angeles following her parents' divorce, Lily was compelled to forge her career in Hollywood. She has starred in the controversial drama about anorexia called "To the Bone" and the Netflix drama "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" alongside Zac Efron. Most famously, Lily is known for her work in the Netflix romantic comedy series "Emily in Paris", for which she has earned a Golden Globe nomination for best actress.

Lily has also acknowledged her privilege, previously telling Glamour UK: "I'm so incredibly proud of what my surname represents, for what my dad's done. And I'm an incredibly proud daughter."

Lily-Rose Depp comes from Hollywood royalty. The actor and Chanel model is the daughter of Johnny Depp and French model Vanessa Paradis, so it's no surprise that "The King" star Lily-Rose spent her childhood attending film premieres and glamorous events across the globe. As a result, the star-in-the-making knew early on she wanted to go into acting, and she has starred in many French films and Hollywood productions. We can next see Lily-Rose in Sam Levinson's new HBO television series "The Idol" alongside The Weeknd.

Deacon Phillipe is the son of Reese Witherspoon and her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe — and guess what? He's making a move into the acting business. Yes, he recently appears as popular jock Parker in season three of the sitcom "Never Have I Ever" (created by his mother Reese's BFF Mindy Kaling), but with his foot firmly in the door, we can expect to see a lot more of Deacon on screen.

Deacon is also a talented musician, and his dad, Ryan, recently said he was "so proud" of his son.

Zoë Kravitz is the daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz and actor Lisa Bonet and has spoken about the cons of coming from a famous family.

"There was a little bit of embarrassment around what came with my last name. People would always assume that if I got a job, it was because of that," she told Elle UK. "But I was privileged. I got an agent easily. I'm not going to pretend like it didn't help me get into the room. But I had to remember that I work hard, and as a child, I put on performances in my grandparents' house. And it had nothing to do with who my family was. It was because I loved it."

Sure enough, Zoë has been a force in the acting industry in the last few years. She held her own against an A-list cast of Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, and Nicole Kidman in the HBO drama series "Big Little Lies". Most recently, we saw her play Catwoman in the DC film "The Batman". Utilising all her industry knowledge, Zoë will make her directorial debut in the upcoming thriller film "Pussy Island", which stars her boyfriend, Channing Tatum.

Emma Roberts followed in the footsteps of her incredibly famous family and started in the business as a child actor. Emma's dad is Academy Award-nominated actor Eric Roberts, and her aunt is none other than "Pretty Woman" actor Julia Roberts. Emma was quick to land her own Nickelodeon sitcom "Unfabulous" in 2004 and starred in teen movies such as "Wild Child", "Nancy Drew", and "Aquamarine". She's now most noted for her work in the horror genre such as "Scream Queens" and "American Horror Story".

Billie Lourd is the daughter of the late and great Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher. While Fisher passed away in 2016, Lourd has been working hard in Hollywood in a bid to stay close to her mother and her late grandmother Debbie Reynolds.

"Now I wish I could run back and do all of those photo shoots and do anything with them, really," she said on the "New Day" podcast. "But I guess I just tried to separate myself from them while they were alive, and now I feel like I am kind of trying to do the opposite. I try to connect myself to them because I miss them."

Billie has made a considerable name for herself by starring on "American Horror Story".

You would be forgiven for thinking that '90s supermodel Cindy Crawford made a grand return to the catwalks across the globe in recent years. But it is, in fact, her look-alike daughter, Kaia Gerber, who is at the top of her modelling game. Gerber began working at 10 and has since modelled for high-profile brands such as Marc Jacobs, Chanel, and Prada, to name a few.

Gerber has acknowledged her early entry into the modelling industry and inspiration, telling Vogue: "If anyone had a point of reference, I definitely did, and one of the best ones."

Gerber has also made the transition into the acting world. She has starred on "American Horror Story" and will soon appear in the period comedy miniseries "Mrs. American Pie". Perhaps she's getting some tips from her "Elvis" megastar boyfriend, Austin Butler.

Hailey Bieber is a model, a media personality, a social media star, an entrepreneur, the wife of Justin Bieber, and a huge name in Hollywood today. She's also the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and part of the acting dynasty that sees Alec Baldwin as her uncle. Addressing her family history on her YouTube show, "Who's in My Bathroom?", Bieber stayed strong as she advised other nepotism babies. "It shouldn't limit you because what I definitely believe is that nobody in the world, especially anybody that doesn't know you, should have a negative impact on your path or the decision that you make," she said. She's currently focusing on her beauty brand, Rhode Skin.
