She’s also a brand ambassador for Chanel since 2015.
Mia Honey Threapleton
The 21-year-old daughter of Kate Winslet starred in her first movie called Shadows. She doesn’t share a surname with her mom, allowing her to build an acting career more independently.

His brother Chet is also an actor, though with fewer roles to his famous name.
Zoë Kravitz

Dakota Johnson
Dakota Johnson’s parents are Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. Both are actors who didn’t want the same life for their daughter. She didn’t listen though, and Dakota is now famous for her 50 Shades of Grey role, a movie her parents haven’t seen.
