Following in the footsteps of his supermodel mum, Helena Christensen and Norman Reedus’ son Mingus Reedus made his runway debut at Calvin Klein's SS18 show. Mingus proved he was a natural as he strutted down the catwalk in style.
Getty ImagesBrooklyn Beckham
Brooks Beckham has the blessed genes of his super talented and gorgeous parents. The teen is taking on a career as a photographer - take a look at his Instagram feed, it's pretty amazing - that has already earned him a book deal. What I see was released in May and features 300 pics by the beau. Brooklyn is also a big fan of tattoos (much like his dad), he recently got an indigenous figure and a camera inked on his arms.
Rex FeaturesJack Kilmer
Jack Kilmer is mostly known for his role in Palo Alto, but also for being the son of Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley.

Jack posed next to Klara Kristin for Saint Laurent’s SS15 campaign and has walked for the brand's SS16 show.
Rex FeaturesPatrick Schwarzenegger
Patrick Schwarzenegger has inherited his dad’s strong bone structure and has dappled in acting with Stuck In Love and Adriana Grande’s music video Right There.

Rex FeaturesGabriel-Kane Day-Lewis
Gabriel (or Gabe) is the 22-year-old son of the Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis and French actress Isabelle Adjani. He is an aspiring singer (after a badly-received rap video, he's now ready to be taken seriously as a singer), and has modelled for Chanel Couture alongside Julianne Moore. He's also covered in tattoos and has nearly 30,000 followers on Instagram.
Rex FeaturesRafferty Law
How gorgeous is Rafferty Law - Jude Law and Sadie Frost's model son. The 20-year-old won't be hitting the big screen like his dad though, saying: "I did a lot of school plays but it was never really my thing. I always loved music."
Growing up in the public eye, he has credited his parents for making him realise his potential: "Having creative parents made me a creative person."
As well as modelling, Rafferty is keen to embark on a music career and plays the guitar, piano, bass, drums and keyboard .He is also a big fan of clubbing and DJs in his spare time.
Getty ImagesMax Irons
Keen film-goers will already know this face: Max Irons is forging a career as an actor with roles in The Riot Club, The White Queen and The Host. The acting bug comes from both sides of Max’s parents, Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack but Max admits having famous parents is a blessing and a curse because "nepotism is despised in the UK".
Getty ImagesDomhnall Gleeson
Domhnall Gleeson’s CV is already pretty impressive: Harry Potter, Anna Karenina, About Time but the son of Brendan Gleeson has more good stuff to come: he’s set to appear in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant.
Getty ImagesScott Eastwood
Scott is the son of Westerns legend Clint Eastwood and flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves. He’s made a few brief appearances in his dad’s movies, Invictus and Gran Torino but is set to hit the big time in 2015 with the Nicholas Sparks film adaptation of The Longest Ride and biopic Snowden.
Getty ImagesChris Pine
Chris Pine is best known as Captain America in The Avengers and James T. Kirk in Star Trek but did you know his dad was an actor too? Robert Pine appeared in hit American TV show CHiPs.
Getty ImagesWyatt Russell
Kate Hudson’s not the only talented one to come out of Goldie Hawn’s family, her son with Kurt Russell was a professional ice hockey player before getting injured and he’s now forging a career as an actor with roles in 22 Jump Street and Arrested Development.
Getty ImagesEthan Peck
Being the grandson of legendary actor Gregory Peck comes with its own pressures but Ethan Peck seems to be taking it in his stride. He’s already had roles in In Time and Gossip Girl and has several projects in the pipeline.
Chester Hanks/InstagramChester Hanks
Chester (or Chet as he prefers to be known) is the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson and, as well as appearing briefly as a student in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he released a rap single in 2011. This is one celeb son who’s keen to make it on his own. “I’m not my dad. I am my own person,” he says.
Getty ImagesMax Winkler
Max Winkler is literally the son of The Fonz, or at least Happy Days star Henry Winkler. Unlike his dad, Max prefers to be behind the camera and has directed several episodes of New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Getty ImagesAlex Skarsgard
Swedish actor Alex Skarsgard is the son of Stellan and already as much of a film stalwart as his father. He’s appeared in Zoolander, True Blood and is set to play Tarzan in 2016.
Rex FeaturesTrey Smith
You can’t belong to the Smith family and not do something! Trey Smith is Will Smith’s son from his first marriage to Sheree Zampino and is now an accomplished DJ, performing under the name AcE. Despite being just 24, he’s already released several songs, including Find You Somewhere which stars his famous half-siblings, Jaden and Willow.
Getty ImagesJack Quaid
Jack Quaid is well on his way to breaking Hollywood – just like his dad Dennis and mum Meg Ryan. The actor, who grew up on film sets, played Marvel in The Hunger Games and is asking fans to fund his new film, Roadies via crowdsourcing.
PA PhotosSean Douglas
When Michael Keaton (real name Michael Douglas) won an Oscar in 2015, he must have been a little bit disappointed that all the talk was about his son, Sean Douglas. It all started because Mindy Kaling tweeted: “Oh hello Michael Keaton’s son” during the ceremony. Anyway, as well as being (in his dad’s words) “a handsome dude", Sean is a songwriter for the likes of Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj and Demi Lovato.
Getty ImagesSam Michael Fox
There’s no mistaking who Sam Michael Fox’s dad is! It’s almost as if Marty Mcfly is in the room with you! The star, who graduated from Stanford, is yet to properly make his mark although it’s thought he wants to follow his dad into acting.
Getty ImagesScott Caan
James Caan’s son Scott has had a diverse career. He’s been a roadie for a rap group, recorded a hip-hop album, is a trained photographer and he currently is starring as Detective Danny Williams in Hawaii Five-O.

Rex FeaturesSteven R. McQueen
As his name suggests Steve R McQueen is the grandson of Steve McQueen. The 28-year-old is best known for his role in The Vampire Diaries but has also been a model for Abercrombie & Finch.
Getty ImagesJake & Max Hoffman
If you recognise Jake Hoffman but can’t quite place him, you’ve probably seen The Wolf Of Wall Street. He played shoe designer Steve Madden in the flick but has also appeared with his dad (as his on-screen grandson!) in HBO TV series Luck. His brother Max is also an actor and famously appeared as the five-year-old Peter Pan in Hook.
Getty ImagesRonan Farrow
The parentage of Ronan Farrow is a bit of a grey area – it was always thought he was Woody Allen’s son with Mia Farrow but the actress recently speculated that he could be the son of Frank Sinatra. Either way, Ronan is seriously brainy, having been a journalist, lawyer and former U.S. government advisor.
Rex FeaturesJesse Johnson
Dakota Johnson’s made quite a name for herself thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey but her half-brother Jesse Johnson is just as talented. When he’s not developing a screenplay, recording an album and appearing in Grey’s Anatomy, he’s out playing ice hockey or snowboarding.
Getty ImagesConnor Cruise
Connor Cruise, along with his sister Isabella, were adopted by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman when they were married. The aspiring DJ now lives with his father and is a devoted Scientologist.

Pierce Brosnan's youngest son Paris is only 16 but he's certainly inherited his dad's dark, brooding looks. He's still at school but we're excited to see what his next move is.
Rex FeaturesSean & Dylan Brosnan
Sean Brosnan is Pierce’s son with his first wife Cassandra Harris and has inherited his parents’ love of acting - so far he’s appeared in TV show Generation Kill.
