While Noah Cyrus may not be as famous as her big sister, Miley, she’s definitely making waves in the music industry now! Both are daughters of famous country singer-actor Billy Ray Cyrus, and both also follow his footsteps as singers. Plus, just like her sister and father, Noah has also managed to build up quite a musical career, despite being just 19-years-young! So far, Noah has already released an album, back in 2018, and 16 singles as a lead artist.

Many don’t know this, but Noah didn’t just follow Miley with a singing career, either. You see, while she didn’t score her own version of Hannah Montana, Noah Cyrus is also an actress and starred in the films Mostly Ghostly and Toho’s Ponyo.

Suri Cruise – Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

Even years later, one of the most talked-about relationships on Tinseltown remains the short-lived romance between actors Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. The two had their only daughter, Suri Cruise, in 2006, and from the moment she was born, her looks preoccupied the world!

You see, the captivating baby girl grew up quickly and is now a beautiful young girl, resembling both of her famous parents. However, many would agree that she look the most alike to her mother, Holmes. In fact, when mother and daughter are seen together walking down the street together, it really is as of Holmes has her own “mini-me!”

Colin Hanks – Tom Hanks

Most would probably assume that having actor Tom Hanks as dad means acting advice 24/7, right? Well, not quite. You see, Colin Hanks has let fans know that he and his father don’t actually talk that much about the craft. “I don’t have the time to write that email, and he doesn’t have the time to respond,” Colin has said. “When we see each other, we like to talk about other things.”

Back in 1999, Hanks rose to fame starring in the well-received sci-fi TV series, Roswell. He started full time on the show when he was just 22. From there, he went on star in his first movie, Orange County, in the early 2000s alongside Jack Back. Here’s a fun fact: Hanks is the oldest of 4 siblings, 3 of which are IMDb accredited actor. Hey, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, they say!

Scott Eastwood – Clint Eastwood

Rumor has it that Clint Eastwood was rather strict compared to other celebrity parents! According to Scott Eastwood, Clint’s son, he had to work really hard to earn every penny and go to college. That’s right! No dime from dad! However, unlike other famous children, everything that Scott has accomplished in his life is the result of his efforts.

“My dad was pretty old school,” Scott said in an interview. “I’ve had a job since I can remember and it’s not like he was like, ‘Hey, what kind of car do you want?’ My first car was a ‘91 Ford Crown Victoria that was $1,000. And I had to buy every car after that. I had to do it all.” While he’s not as rich as his father, Scott has managed to create a $10 million net worth. For the time being, it’s a pretty good start!

Lourdes Leon – Madonna

When you’re the daughter of the Queen of pop, you’re get use to paparazzi and screaming fans.

She’s currently the lead singer of the band, Lolawolf, whenever she’s not acting.

However, growing up with such famous parents had its toll on young Zoey. “When I was younger, I really wanted to prove to people I was a normal human being, that I was cool, chill,” Zoe said. “When kids were mean, the first thing they’d say is, ‘She thinks she’s so cool because her dad is famous.’ I just wanted to fit in.”

Francesca Eastwood – Clint Eastwood

Many don’t know this, but once upon a time, there’s a reality show about the Eastwood family. In 2012, Mrs. Eastwood & Company, a show that focused on Clint Eastwood’s wife and two daughters, lasted just a season.
