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.
