19 Celebrity Kids Who Are Celebs In Their Own Right
byMeg Kehoe
Ah, celebrity offspring. The lucky ones. With amazing genes and wisdom from the A-list members that came before them, it seems like they're set up for success. Of course, being a child of a celebrity has its downfalls, as well as its perks. Paparazzi, invasion of privacy, living in your parents' shadows — the list is long. But there are a few celebrity kids who've managed to keep their careers (and lives) separate from the lives of their parents. So much so, that they're celebrity kids who are celebrities in their own right.
It's kind of amazing how these celebrity children have worked their way through the ranks without relying on their parents (or their names) to get them there. I'd like to think that if either one of my parents were celebrities, I'd be famous by now, but these kids have done it all on their own. It just goes to show that it's not always about your family tree, that the most successful way to make it to the top is by working hard, and polishing your talent. Actors, musicians, and models, oh my — these celebrity children are blazing trails and leaving the shadows of their celebrity parents behind.
