Celebrity Kids Who Grew up to Be So Unrecognizable, They’ll Make You Gasp

Zoë Kravitz, 31 – Actress

At first glance, it is highly likely that you’d think that the woman in this photo is actress Lisa Bonet. If you did, then you can’t be more wrong because that is, in fact, her daughter, Zoë Kravitz. She is the only child Bonet shares with her ex-husband and singer, Lenny Kravitz. Zoë is currently 31 years old, happily married, and a successful actress. With great genes inherited from her mother, Zoë didn’t hesitate to get into the same occupation as Bonet. Some of her most noteworthy roles were on X-Men: First Class, The Divergent Series, and Mad Max: Fury Road. She will also play Catwoman on The Batman (2021).

Ella Emhoff, 25 – Artist and Fashion Designer

Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter, is a rising fashion star. A Parsons School of Design graduate, Ella isn’t just tagging along with her famous family—she’s creating her own buzz as a designer, artist, and model.

She first caught our attention with her distinct style at the 2021 presidential inauguration, and she’s kept everyone intrigued since. From there, she’s taken the runway by storm, designed eye-catching knitwear, and even showcased her art in galleries. Her fearless creativity and unapologetic vibe make her one of the most interesting young talents emerging today. She is definitely one to watch!

Barron Trump, 18 – Student

Barron Trump might catch your eye initially because of his famous parents, Donald and Melania Trump, but he’s carving out his own path. While his dad was busy in the Oval Office and his mom was taking on First Lady duties, Barron was growing up right before our eyes.

Now a teenager standing at an impressive 6-foot-7, he’s more than just the tall, silent type in the background. He’s a student navigating life under a magnifying glass, growing into his own personality and interests. We’re watching to see what is next for him as he steps out from the towering shadows of his parents.

Ashley Biden, 43 – Social Worker and Activist

Ashley Biden isn’t just the youngest daughter of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden; she’s a force in activism and style. Born on June 8, 1981, Ashley has channeled her energy into serious causes with the same passion she brings to fashion. She once led the Delaware Center for Justice, where she was a fierce advocate for criminal justice reform.

Outside the courtrooms and protests, she also runs Livelihood, a fashion initiative that collaborates with online retailers to fund community programs to reduce income inequality. Whether through her social causes or her designs, Ashley’s heart is all about making a difference.

Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt, 16 – Actress

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopted three children internationally to go with the three they had biologically. Zahara was the one adopted from an orphanage in Ethiopia in 2005. The multicultural family may be broken apart, but Zahara still enjoys the spoils of a Hollywood upbringing. For starters, she already has some acting experience in the form of a small role in the film Maleficent and has also done voice work. Jolie has been quick to shoot down any chance of her kids getting into acting, although with Zahara’s start, that could change. Jolie is set to star as Thena in the upcoming Marvel film Eternals.

Suri Cruise, 12 – Fashionista

Suri Cruise is the daughter of former couple Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Suri is now entering her teens and is known for having a wicked fashion sense. We won’t be surprised if she becomes a fashion designer someday, but for now, she is just enjoying her young age with her mom.

Ella & Alexander Clooney, 4 – Just Kids

At the age of four, the lovable twins Ella and Alexander Clooney are still getting ready to attend junior kindergarten. Right now, they’re probably still not aware of how famous their parents are, even though George Clooney and the lawyer Amal Clooney make for one of the world’s most recognizable celebrity couples. Daddy Clooney, who’s working on the upcoming movie Ticket to Paradise, has talked about the hardships of taking care of two baby twins in a People magazine interview. He mentioned that the kids keep him young despite all of the hard work and make him feel grateful and engaged.

Louis Bardo Bullock, 11 – Loving Son

At 11 years old, Louis Bardo Bullock and his sister, Laila, are the most important people in their mother, Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock’s life. The Ocean’s 8 star said this in an interview with Hoda Kotb on NBC Today in 2018, adding that they mean more than anything in the world to her. Bullock was inspired to adopt in 2005 after hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. She applied with her then-husband, Jesse James. Even after she divorced James, she proceeded with the adoption as a single parent. Bullock is set to star in an upcoming film called Lost City Of D.

Hazel Moder, 16 – Student/Actress

Remember Hazel Moder, the daughter of Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder? Well, she’s all grown-up now, and she’s looking like a stunning 16-year-old! Despite having two famous parents, Moder has been living a very discreet and private life, and she’s believed to be a student at the moment. Moder’s moment of fame came in 2016 when she appeared alongside her twin brother on Mother’s Day, starring her mom as well as the likes of Kate Hudson and Jennifer Aniston. So far, though, this has been her only acting credit. In 2021, it was reported that Roberts was trying to get her kids into Sydney’s North Shore Catholic school.

Chaz Bono, 49 – LGBT Activist & Actor

Chaz Bono is different from the little kid we used to see with parents Sonny Bono and Cher because he is now a transgender person.

Dylan Brosnan, 21 – Model & Musician

Dylan Brosnan is Pierce Brosnan’s good-looking son who is a man of many talents. Aside from booking modeling gigs, he is also pursuing music and is a part of a band named, Raspberry Blonde. He is definitely showing a lot of potentials to become successful and who knows, it might not be long before he would have his own substantial fortune to warrant an investment advisor to be by his side.

Ella Bleu Travolta, 18 – Actress

Ella Bleu Travolta is the daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Ella is already starting to add credits to her acting portfolio because she is set to appear in the upcoming movie entitled Gotti. It’s about time she starts being financially independent because it seems like her parents have gotten her accustomed to a life of affluence as she was growing up.

Paris Jackson, 22 – Model & Actress

It is often said that a father is a daughter’s first love, and the fact may have been beyond accurate for Michael Jackson, who only had one daughter. Paris Jackson is not the kid many of us remember anymore, but rather a 22-year-old smoking hot model. She is currently signed with IMG Models and has worked for Rolling Stone magazine. Paris is also an actress, whose most prominent work up to date was on Gringo and Scream. The King of Pop missed seeing his children grow up, but he’d certainly be proud.
