Celebrities who followed in their famous parent's footsteps, or close relative.

There are so many that chose the same or similar path as their parents or a close relative, either in the movies, or music industry.
Thought it might be fun to explore the interesting connections and related details.

One of the many examples is Michael Douglas:
His father, Kirk, was an intense actor who apparently wasn't the model father, and he cast a long shadow for Michael to overcome. Nevertheless, Michael still chose the same road, and it worked out for him, as he had his own flavor of onscreen charisma. Unfortunately, he, like his father, was a bit of a ladies man, and also put his career first, which was costly for both him and his father.

Over time he drew closer to his father, and perhaps all the drama that his family went through helped him to succeed in films. He seems to be open about the mistakes, but also has enjoyed the acting journey. Celebrity life can be difficult for children, but many still choose it as their own.
 

Natalie Cole, daughter of Nat King Cole.


I guess the death of her father at such a young age hit her pretty hard, and she turned to drugs that almost killed her.
However, she managed to pull her life together and become a tremendous success. Her father would have been proud.
 
Theres so many it's hard to know where to start... many have no discernable talent at all..

I feel someone bad for Bronny James (LeBron James's son). Most likely he does not have the talent to play in the NBA but the Lakers drafted him anyway because his dad is the star of the Lakers and had always dreamed of playing with his son in a game. Laker fans are not very happy about the pick. Not only that but he does have a congenital heat defect. I know he is now a grown man now (he is 20) but I often wonder if he has lived his life based on his dad's expectations instead of what he really wants.

I know he is making lots of money and all of that because he was drafted but there is a lot of pressure on him now. I hope he is able to handle all the pressure.
