40+ Movie Cameos From Celeb Offspring That We Didn't Notice the First, Second, and Third Time Around

When your parents are movie stars, it’s a great opportunity to land a couple of cameos. These lucky kids have got themselves roles, some small, some large, in all sorts of films.

Vivienne Jolie Pitt – Maleficent

There's a good story behind casting Vivienne Jolie Pitt as young Aurora in Maleficent. When casting was looking for kids to play the princess, they were all terrified of Jolie dressed in villainous garb. The actress explained, "It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv."

Sofia Coppola – The Godfather

Nowadays, we know Sofia Coppola as an acclaimed filmmaker. Of course, she comes from a filmmaking family, including her father, director Francis Ford Coppola. Interestingly, Nicolas Cage is also part of this family, and cousins with Sofia.

Anyway, Sofia Coppola made her film debut by starring in her dad's hit crime movie The Godfather. She played baby Michael Rizzi, or Little Mike. She also starred in the movie's sequels but after receiving criticism she turned her hand to directing. Now, she's an Oscar winner.

Ever Anderson – Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

We have another family operation next with the sixth instalment of the Resident Evil franchise. This sci-fi action movie was written and directed by English filmmaker Paul W. S. Anderson. It starred his wife, actress Mila Jovovich as the lead character. And guess what? These two have a daughter!

Well, actually they have three daughters, but in this case, we're talking about eldest daughter Ever. The pair's daughter played the younger version of her mom's character. She's now an actor in her own right.

Eve Renner – American Hustle

Isn't it convenient when actors have newborn babies? That way, studios don't need to source a tiny actor baby, and can just use the one already attached to a star. Handy! Little Eve Renner was only one month old when she first appeared on the big screen.

Eve is the daughter of actor Jeremy Renner, who plays a corrupt Mayor in black comedy American Hustle. When his character kisses a baby on the street, that's his own little girl.
