17 famous actors who filmed with their children (20 photos)

Quite often you can see actors who star in the same films with their children. Some deliberately push their children into the world of cinema, and some appear with their children when they themselves have long been famous actors.





In any case, today I would like to remember 17 famous foreign actors who starred in the same films with their children.

Will Smith

Famous actor Will Smith has repeatedly pushed his son Jaden into films. Jaden Smith first appeared with his father in the film "The Pursuit of Happyness." In this wonderful film, they really played father and son. The main character had to work alone to earn housing and food for his son, and at the same time, he was actively studying to get a good job. This is a really strong and motivating film that I would recommend you watch.



In 2013, the Smiths appeared together again. This time it was the film "After Earth." In my opinion, the film is weak. Here, the character of Jaden Smith is in the center of the plot.





Now Jaden Smith acts quite rarely, and devotes most of his life to music.

Angelina Jolie

In the film "Maleficent", Vivienne Jolie-Smith (daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) played a small role of the young princess Aurora at the very beginning of the film. And the most interesting thing is that she got this role not even through connections, but rather out of desperation.



The thing is that during the audition, the young actresses were simply afraid of Angelina Jolie in makeup and started crying. That's why they had to involve the actress's own daughter, who, of course, did not cry, because she would have recognized her mother in any makeup.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt also starred with his daughter, but not with Vivienne, but with the older Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. In the film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", two-year-old Shiloh played a small role as the main character's daughter.



Jon Voight

Well, it's time to finish with this family. This time we are talking about Angelina Jolie's biological father - Jon Voight. Together with his daughter, he starred in the film "Looking for a Way Out" (1982), and many years later appeared in the film "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider".



Sylvester Stallone

The famous actor Sylvester Stallone also did not miss the opportunity to star with his son. Together with his son Sage, he appeared in such films as "Rocky 5" and "Daylight".



Unfortunately, in 2012, 36-year-old Sage Stallone died, presumably from atherosclerosis.

Tom Hanks

Since early childhood, Colin Hanks (Tom Hanks' son) was interested in cinema, and always tried to be close to his father. He first tried himself in cinema in 1995. During the filming of the movie "Apollo 13", where, by the way, his father starred, he acted as an assistant.



In 1996, he got his first role in the film "What Are You Doing", directed by Tom Hanks. And in 2008, they appeared together again, but this time in the film "The Great Buck Howard". In this film, they played father and son.

Brendan Gleeson

British actor Brendan Gleeson played the Auror Alastor Moody in the Harry Potter films. The character first appeared in the fourth part of the film, namely in the film "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".



In the film "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 1" he returned to his role, where he was the curator of the operation "7 Potters". Ron Weasley's older brother, Bill, also participated in this operation, played by Brendan Gleeson's own son, Domhnall Gleeson.

Donald Sutherland

I think many of you know the great actor Donald Sutherland. Also, many know about his son Kiefer, who is also a popular actor. Surprisingly, despite the fact that both of these actors are very popular, they did not act together until 2016.



It was in 2016 that Donald and Kiefer Sutherland starred together in the film "Forgiven". Well, they also played father and son in this film.

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis

As you know, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis have three daughters, and some of them have starred with their parents.



For example, Rumer Willis starred with her mother in the films "Striptease" and "The Scarlet Letter". But Rumer starred with her father Bruce in the film "Hostage".



Kirk Douglas

The well-known "Spartacus" Kirk Douglas, who lived to be 103 years old (he died in 2020), did not want his son Michael Douglas to become an actor at all. He belittled his acting in every possible way, calling it disgusting. But this did not stop Michael. He was able to achieve his goal, and became not only a famous actor, but also a director and producer.



Despite the wide popularity of father and son, they have never acted together in their long lives. Only in 2003 did they star together in the film "Family Values". By the way, other members of the Douglas family also appeared there, namely Michael's son Cameron, as well as Kirk's wife Diana.

Dustin Hoffman

Dustin Hoffman also starred with his son Jake in the film "Barney's Version". In this film, they also played relatives, but not father and son, but grandfather and grandson. Well, so what? After all, the difference between them is as much as 45 years, so this step seems quite logical.



Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich is remembered for such films as "The Fifth Element", "Joan of Arc" and "Resident Evil". It was in the sixth part of the franchise "Resident Evil" that we were able to see Milla Jovovich's daughter - Ever. In this film, the actress's daughter played the "Red Queen".



By the way, let's not forget that all the "Resident Evil" films were shot by Mila's husband (and Ever's father) Paul Anderson. That's how the family business turned out.



Melanie Griffith

The famous actress Melanie Griffith also appeared in the same frame with her then ten-year-old daughter Dakota Johnson. We are talking about the film "Women Without Rules".



Clint Eastwood

Scott Eastwood was born as a result of an affair between Clint Eastwood and flight attendant Jesslyn Reeves. Since at that time Clint Eastwood was married to another woman, he did not officially recognize Scott as his son, although he helped him.



Only many years later he finally recognized his son and gave him his last name. Moreover, he began to help him break into the world of cinema, and together they managed to star in several films, including Gran Torino, Curveball, Flags of Our Fathers, etc.

Johnny Depp

In Kevin Smith's film Yoga Hosers, Johnny Depp played with his daughter Lily Rose Depp. But if Depp himself played detective Guy Lapointe, investigating serial murders, then Lily Rose Depp played one of the main characters - Colleen Collette.



By the way, the second main character was played by Harley Quinn Smith - the daughter of director Kevin Smith.

But if anyone doesn't know, Kevin Smith shoots his films in the same universe. And we will be able to see these same characters performed by these same actors again in the trash film "Tusk".

Kevin Smith

Well, since I mentioned Kevin Smith, I can't help but mention the film "Jay and Silent Bob 2" (2019), which is a direct sequel to the film "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"



Kevin Smith himself plays the same Silent Bob in his films. This film is no exception (well, yes, his name is in the title). But Kevin's daughter (Harley Quinn Smith) played the daughter of Jestice and Jay here.
