Celebrities are sure lucky, especially when they get to bring their kids to the movie set. But it's even more special when those family ties extend to acting together on the silver screen.
There are a few fortunate instances where we were able to witness that. So I'm going to run through a few such examples of families acting together. Check it out.
I'm such a huge fan of both Henry and Jane Fonda. They're both stellar actors in their own right. So it was a lucky break that found Jane acting alongside her famous dad on the set of On Golden Pond. Henry Fonda passed away a few months after the film was released,
When you have two comedians in the family you might as well put them together, huh? Well, that's exactly what father Jerry and son Ben Stiller got to do on two separate occasions. They both appeared together in Zoolander and the Heartbreak Kid.
Mom Demi Moore and daughter Rumer Willis shared the screen together numerous times. The first time we saw them was on the set of Now and Then, where Rumer played the younger sister of Sam, and Demi portrayed Sam as an adult. Then, Rumer played Demi's daughter in Striptease.
Kate Hudson grew up hanging out on the set of her stepfather's movies. That's how she fell in love with the craft. But the two of them didn't get a chance to act together in a movie until 2016 when they both appeared in Deepwater Horizon.
Billie Lourd's film debut just happened to be Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where her mom Carrie Fisher reprised her role as Princess Leia. They also both appeared in The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
Young Willow Smith got to share the screen with her famous dad in I Am Legend. I bet it must've been so nice to have your child with you while shooting a movie. What a lucky dad.
Speaking of Will Smith, not only did he get to spend time with his daughter on set, but he shared the screen with his son Jaden as well. The two acted in The Pursuit Of Happyness and then reunited in After Earth.
Let's talk about another family connection, and that is Meryl Streep And Mamie Gummer. The mother and daughter duo got to act alongside each other on a few occasions. Mamie made her onscreen debut in Heartburn and later acted with mom in the fun rock 'n' roll movie Ricki & the Flash.
For Leslie Mann, it's really a family affair when it comes to acting in movies. Both of her daughters appeared with her in numerous films. For example, they were both in Knocked Up and reprised their characters in This Is 40. By the way, both movies were directed by Leslie's husband, Judd Apatow.
Here's another amazing mother-daughter duo who got to act together on various TV shows and movies. Diane Ladd and Laura Dern both starred in Wild at Heart and Rambling Rose. Those sets do look like they were quite interesting experiences.
Dakota's film debut was actually Crazy in Alabama, where she got to act alongside her mom Melanie Griffith. And her half-sister Stella Banderas was in the movie as well. Talking about a family affair, huh?
Speaking of Melanie Griffith, she too got to experience acting alongside her mom Tippi Hedren. Both of them appeared in the movie Roar in 1981. Wow, that's a long time ago, huh? I have to watch that one.
If you're a fan of the Rocky movies as I am, then you already knew that Sylvester Stallone's real-life son appeared in Rocky V, playing his character's son Rocky Balboa Jr. Sadly, Sage Stallone passed away in 2012 from a heart attack.
Most of us know that famous duo Angeline Jolie and dad Jon Voight finally reunited on the silver screen in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. But did you know that Jolie actually starred alongside dad in Lookin' To Get Out when she was only a child?
The mother-daughter duo teamed up for the biopic Sylvia where Gwyneth Played the titular character Sylvia Plath, and Blythe played her mother, Aurelia Plath. I bet that was so much fun for both of them, huh?
This fearless mother and daughter have appeared together not once but a total of six times. Wow! The first time it was on the set of Dead Man Walking, back in 1995. And the last time, was in 2016 in the movie Mothers and Daughters. Isn't that amazing or what? They also played mother and daughter in The Banger Sisters.
It can be hard to portray a complicated mother and daughter relationship on screen. But can you imagine acting alongside your own mom? That's exactly what Margaret Qualley and mom Andie MacDowell get to do in the TV show Maid. I actually had no idea they were related, haha.
I have to admit I am yet to see Maleficent, so I had no idea that Angelina Jolie and her daughter Vivienne joined together on the screen. Vivienne played young Aurora. Ah, now I want to see this movie even more. Apparently, she got the part because she was the only child who wasn't afraid of seeing Angelina in her costume, ha, ha.
I think it brings a fun dynamic to the set. I'm sure it was so educational for those kids to learn hands-on straight from their talented parents. And I'm sure the parents enjoyed sharing the screen with their offspring. Which dynamic duo is your favorite?
