Hollywood is huge. Hundreds of actors and creators work in it, and it is highly likely that some are related to each other. However, many people have no idea about these relationships, especially when children have different name than their parents.

 

1. Francis Ford Coppola is the uncle of Nicolas Cage and Coppola's daughter played the wife of Rocky.

Director of films such as Godfather and Interview Francis Ford Coppola is a member of a talented Hollywood family. His sister Talia Shire played Adrian, Rocky's wife, and also appeared in Godfather as Connie Corleone.

 

Francis' daughter is Sofia Coppola, the director of films such as Lost in Translation and The Beguiled. Coppola's nephews and Sofia's cousins are actors Jason Schwartzman (Funny People) and Nicolas Cage, whose careers we do not need to be introduced. He will soon play himself in the film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

 

Nicolas Cage wanted to avoid making people think he was using his acquaintance and his famous last name, so he changed his name to Nicolas Cage. He himself confirmed that he had once told Francis Coppola in the car, that he would show him what acting was. That is, if he allows him to come to a rehearsal of his next film. Coppola didn't even answer him.

 

 

 

2. Jamie Lee Curtis is a daughter of Jannet Leigh.

Probably every horror fan will recognise the famous shower scream from the thriller Psycho directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Thanks to this scene, we will never forget the actress Jannet Leigh. However, few people know that her daughter is also famous for her horror films.

 

Jamie Lee Curtis has a different name, but like her mother, she became famous for facing a killer in her movies. She played the main character in the horror series Halloween.

3. Actress from Bones and actress from 500 days of Summer are sisters.

Zooey Deschanel and Emily Deschanel are sisters. You may know Zooey Deschanel from films such as 500 Days of Summer, The Happening and Yes Man. Emily Deschanel made her name in the crime series Bones. Her sister Zooey appeared in one episode.

 

By the way, if it ever crossed your mind, Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry are not related, even though they look alike.

4. Debbie Reynolds is Carrie Fisher's mother.

Few people know that the famous Leia from Star Wars had an equally famous mother. Debbie Reynolds was a successful and famous Hollywood actress who starred in the film Singing in the Rain. Both actresses have unfortunately passed away. Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd continues their acting legacy. She appeared in the movie Star Wars: Episode IX.

 

For our generation, Carrie Fisher was the best known of the three women. Her Star Wars character - Princess Leia - is one of the most famous female heroines. Carrie Fisher was also known for helping Star Wars filmmakers write the script

 

 

5. Actress Bryce Dallas Howard is a daughter of the director Ron Howard.

You may know the actress Bryce Dallas Howard from the films Jurassic World, but she also starred in Rocketman, 50/50 or The Help. Gradually, she began directing, having made three parts of the show Book of Boba Fett and Mandalorian.

 

Her father is the famous Hollywood director Ron Howard. He made films such as Rush, Cinderella Man, Solo: Star Wars Story, Pure Soul or Apollo 13 (his daughter Bryce starred in Pure Soul and Apollo 13).

7. The big family of Kate Hudson and Kurt Russell

Goldie Hawn was a famous Hollywood actress who was in the spotlight, especially between 1960 and 2000. With her ex-husband, actor and singer Bill Hudson, she had children, Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson, who have both had successful acting careers. Kate Hudson in particular, was a big romantic comedy star at the time.

 

After her divorce from Bill Hudson, Goldie Hawn got together with Hollywood actor Kurt Russell, with whom she has a son, Wyatt Russell. He starred in films such as Overlord, 22 Jump Street and the series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where he played the new Captain America. This makes audience's favourites, Kate Hudson and Wyatt Russell, cousins.

8. Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts a Eric Roberts 

Eric Roberts is a famous Hollywood actor, but maybe he's one of those you know by their face, not their name. In recent years, Roberts has made 10 films a year, appeared in smaller roles and used to play bad guys, such as in the  Expendables and The Dark Knight.

 

 

 

He is the older brother of Julia Roberts, a former megastar who acted in one of the most famous romantic films in the history Pretty Woman. However, the famous acting family is even wider. Eric's daughter and Julia's niece's name is Emma Roberts. You could see Emma in It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Scream 4 and We Are the Millers.

9. Dakota Johnson is family with Antonio Banderas.

The star of the film 50 Shades of Gray Actress Dakota Johnson has long proven that she has a real acting talent and should not be perceived as just "the actress from a low-quality erotic film." Actors Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson from the fantasy series Twilight also experienced something similar, but they also succeeded in proving themselves as quality Hollywood actors.

 

Dakota is the daughter of Melanie Griffith, who has starred in a number of films, including the famous features Lolita, Working Girl and Body Double. Melanie was in a relationship with Antonio Banderas, with whom she has a daughter, Stella, so Dakota Johnson is step-related to Antonio Banderas.

10. Jason Momoa was the stepfather of Zoë Kravitz

Jason Momoa and Zoë Kraviz even gave themselves nicknames - Zozo Bear and Papa Bear. Momoa became stepfather to Zoë Kravitz after he married the actress Lisa Bonet. They ended their relationship in January 2022, but Momoa and Kravitz still have a great relationship

 

Zoë Kravitz is the daughter of Lisa Bonet and the famous musician Lenny Kravitz. We last saw her in The Batman, which we consider to be a 10 out of 10 film. Jason Momoa is famous for his roles in the Game of Thrones series or in the films from the DC studio, where he plays Aquaman.
