Their Celebrity Parents Are Proud Of Them, And So Are We! – 40+ Aussie Star Kids To Look Out For
John Noble – Samantha Noble
Samantha Noble is the eldest of two children of popular actor John Noble and his wife Penny. Among the two siblings, she was the one who caught the acting bug from her father, and she has appeared in such movies as ‘Court of Lonely Royals’ and ‘Gabriel.’ Her best-known work so far is her role as Jade in the ‘Gabriel.’
Aside from acting, Samantha spends a lot of her time teaching in film schools in Los Angeles and Sydney, Australia. She is also the endorser of ‘Fosters Lager’ ads in America. But of course, acting will always be her first love, thanks to her father.
Judy Davis – Jack Friels
Judy Davis is a multiple award-winning Australian actress with a successful career spanning over four decades and recognition as one of the greatest stars of her generation. She has been married for over 30 years and is the mother to the famous Jack Friels.
Jack Friels is an actor, a one-time guitarist, and lead singer of the rock band ‘Underlights.’ He is well known for his role in the 2001 ‘The Man Who Sued God’ but decided to step away from acting and music to take freelance photography seriously. The only son of the accomplished actress is as talented as his mother, as he is also excelling as a photographer.
Paul Hogan – Chance Hogan
Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski have a talented son Chance Hogan. Chance, very much like both of his parents, turned out to possess their charm and vitality. Paul and his son have a solid relationship, considering that after the separation of Paul and Linda, Chance stayed with his father.
The lad didn’t have an easy life after his parents’ separation. Still, he has been concentrating on his music, which has become an avenue for him to showcase his talents and pursue something genuinely remarkable. We can’t wait for him to explore more in his career and see where it leads him.
David Wenham – Eliza Wenham
David Wenham is an acclaimed actor who has achieved what many people only dream of. With countless film credits to his name, including ‘Iron Fist’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, he is also a family man. The actor has two children, but it looks like his firstborn, Eliza Wenham, might follow his way into showbiz, although in a different field.
Eliza is a seasoned ballet dancer despite her young age, and whether she’ll do dancing as a full-time job remains to be seen. Either way, we bet the lass has several talents within her, and whatever path she picks, she’s definitely going to be successful. Besides, she has her celebrity father to call upon.
Vince Colosimo – Lucia Colosimo
She is a typical teenager and her social media profile certainly reflects this. Born of two stars on the media’s radar, Jane Hall and Vince Colosimo, it can be a bit tricky to live life without that getting in the way. Yet, Lucia Colosimo enjoys spending time and taking photos with her friends.
The mother is incredibly proud of Lucia as she disclosed in a ‘Press Reader’ interview. The girl supports her mom’s career choices and growth wholeheartedly. Also, Jane was humbled by her daughter’s willingness to participate in a photo shoot despite being ill. What better way to show love to your guardian than showing up for them, right?
Shane Withington – Madeleine Withington
A family of three, with all members in the same profession, sounds rare and exciting, right? Well, that’s the case for the Withington ménage. Best known for playing John Palmer in the Australian television soap opera ‘Home and Away,’ Shane Withington married co-actress Anne Tenney and soon were blessed with their adorable girl, Madeleine.
An ‘Actor’s Centre Australia’ graduate, the celebrity daughter, has grown into an elegant gentlewoman. Madeleine, or as she likes to go with, Maddie decided quite early in her life that the silver screen was her calling, and even guest featured in the soap opera her father is famous for. Well, we believe the starlet is here for a tour de force.
Simon Baker – Stella Baker
Denying the perks of being a celebrity would equate to living under a stone. However, it doesn’t mean that stars have everything as easy as pie, and who better to prove this than Stella Baker, daughter of the celeb couple Simon Baker and Rebecca Rigg.
Despite being born into a star family, Stella toiled and won in the industry all by herself, with performances like the American thriller ‘Tell Me Your Secrets’ and ‘The Republic of Sarah.’ Not to mention that she has a flair for writing, and has in fact, debuted by penning the short film, ‘Candace.’ However, while goofing off, the Yale graduate loves playing with her pet dog and rabbit. How cute!
Michael Caton – Septimus Caton
Michael Caton is a comedian, TV host and actor who has starred in films and movies like ‘Rams,’ ‘Three Summers,’ and ‘Back to the Rafters.’ He has been the spouse to Helen Esakoff for 19 years and together they have a son, Septimus Caton.
An apple rarely falls far from the tree, yes? Septimus, just like his father, is a television sensation popularly known as a composer and actor of ‘X-Men Origins.’ There’s no exact date given for when he was born or how old he is precisely, but from how his looks, we estimate he is in his early 40s. Septimus has a strong bond with his folks and spends his free time with them, which must be priceless.
Jack Thompson – Patrick Thompson
Patrick Thompson, son of actor Jack Thompson, has done some television commercials and also appeared in a number of TV programs. With stellar showbiz pedigree, he would have gone on to a great acting career, but he had a slightly different career path in mind, although still closely related to the world of entertainment.
Patrick was able to integrate his passion for carpentry into his career. Eventually, he teamed up with his dad and other friends and founded a production company called Honour Bright which became involved in several big projects within the industry. Nevertheless, we’re hoping to see him in front of the camera again soon.
Geoffrey Rush – Angelica Rush
Angelica Rush, daughter of Geoffery Rush, undoubtedly grew up very close to the entertainment industry because of the nature of her father’s work. So it is not surprising that when she grew up, she chose a career path that is still in the realm of show business.
Although she may not be doing work in front of the camera, Angelica has found her calling working behind the scenes and contributing to the production, set design, wardrobe, and art direction of films and TV shows. With all the real-life experience she had, it makes sense that she developed an eye for production aesthetics.
Hugh Jackman – Oscar Maximillian Jackman
Oscar Maximillian Jackman is the adoptive son of Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. Before he was parented, his parents tried to have kids biologically, but when they were unsuccessful, they decided to adopt a baby, and this is how their family started.
When Oscar turned 18, he made the decision to reach out to his biological family. Although his mother already passed away and the identity of his biological father is unknown, he was able to have a wonderful reunion with his biological sisters in Iowa. Oscar is a college student and very active in raising awareness for human rights and the environment.
Eric Bana – Klaus Banadinovich
When one looks at Eric Bana and his son Klaus Banadinovich, one might think the two are twins; the only thing that would set them apart is the visible grey hair on the famous actor’s face. That’s how much the father and son look alike; from their chiseled cheekbones, striking smiles, and even the fashion sense, the resemblance is uncanny.
Yet, we have no idea whether Klaus also inherited the creative gene that has seen his father rise to become among the most successful performers in the country. Whatever the case, we’ll know soon enough, as the lad is growing quite fast and it won’t be too long before he decides his career.
Miranda Otto – Darcey O’Brien
Born in a family filled with prolific artists, Miranda Otto is an Australian actress with a long list of accomplishments to her name. She has featured in different films like ‘The Two Towers’ and ‘Return of the King.’ Since 2003, this star has been married to her fellow actor – Peter O’Brien.
The couple welcomed their only child – Darcey O’Brien in 2005 and it seems that the apple has not fallen far from the tree. Making her debut into acting alongside her famous parents, Darcey has already appeared in the movie ‘The Unusual Suspect.’ Going by her talent and hard work, this is certainly the first of many to come.
Luke Hemsworth – Holly Hemsworth
Holly Hemsworth is a public figure by birth, as the eldest daughter of renowned actor and TV star Luke Hemsworth. She was born into a celebrity family, with legendary actors Chris Hemsworth and Liam Hemsworth as uncles and celebrities Craig and Leonie Hemsworth as grandparents.
Although Holly has appeared in some photos on her father’s social media pages, Luke tries to keep her away from the spotlight, despite being a famous figure. The young star in her teens lives a quiet life, but fans are eager to see if she would take up acting like the majority of her family members.
David Gulpilil – Jamie Gulpilil
We have seen many children take up after their folks, and no one epitomizes that better than Jamie Gulpilil. Jamie is the son of legendary actor David Gulpilil, and if the young man’s performances are anything to go by, he inherited more than the good looks from his celebrity father.
Jamie is making a name for himself away from his dad’s shadow, pursuing acting, and he’s absolutely thriving in it. The boy has already starred in a couple of films like ‘Ten Canoes’ and ‘Dr. Plonk,’ and considering he’s still relatively young, we bet he will add to the portfolio in the years to come.
Paige Butcher – Izzy Oona Murphy
From starring in ‘Big Momma’s House 2’ to ‘Something’s Gotta Give’, Paige Butcher has featured in several Hollywood films. She is also a proud mum to her firstborn daughter, Izzy Oona Murphy, whom they share with the popular comedian and actor Eddie Murphy.
Growing up in the public limelight herself, Paige knows the pains of coming up with people watching your every move. To protect her daughter from all these, the former model deleted all her social media pages and prefers to raise Izzy away from public scrutiny. We can only hope that the next time the former model graces the red carpet, she is accompanied by the adorable young star.
Teresa Palmer – Bodhi Rain Webber
Bodhi Rain Webber is the oldest son of Australian actress and writer Teresa Palmer and her director husband Mark Webber, who now have four kids together. The names given to the child bear some significance to how the parents felt about him. Bodhi means “the Enlightened one,” while Rain is symbolic for “abundant blessings from above.”
The seven-year-old has been brought up in a loving home and it shows by how much attention is channeled his way. The mother did not falter to go pick Bodhi up from school even after attending a Golden Globes event. Nothing comes before her children, who are lavished with kisses every chance she gets.
Rose Byrne – Rocco Connavale
Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale welcomed their first baby after four beautiful years of dating. The couple has been busy being parents, and Rose talks about her relationship with Rocco, her first baby, quite often. She maintains that Rocco has been a sensitive kid through his early years and proves to be a wonderful elder brother.
The mother of two seems inseparable from her children, but she doesn’t allow that to affect her career. She talks about how the boy had difficulty processing the fact that he has a younger brother, Rafa. Though we can find his pictures online, fans are eagerly waiting to see more of Rocco soon.
Richard Roxburgh – Raphael Roxburgh
Richard Roxburgh’s son Raphael is still a kid in school, and the actor has been the best dad for him. Richard realizes that keeping a family happy requires several compromises, and his wife is the best partner he could have in that regard. Bringing up children together, they’ve faced several obstacles, as they’re both extremely busy people.
Richard discusses Raphael and talks about how he usually has to brush up his math and also help with his homework. He says that he’s a very able kid who loves traveling and often has to do it independently. Being a parent is not easy, but Richard loves the experience.
Megan Gale – River Alan Hampson
Model, actress, and fashion designer are among the many titles on Megan Gale’s impressive resume. At the top of her list, though, has got to be motherhood. Gale has two beautiful children River and Rosie with her fiancé Shaun Hampson. The couple loves to bless our timelines with cute pictures of their children—no surprise, as they are comely with looks.
Gale’s son River is named after four people; Megan’s mum River, her dad Alan, Shaun’s father Thomas, and his daddy Hampson. He is a quirky kid who feels deeply and speaks his emotions according to Gale, who has also mentioned he has an old soul. River must have channeled his grannies whose names he shares.
Melissa George – Raphael Blanc
Anyone who’s a fan of ‘Friends’ or ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ should be able to recognize Melissa George. Besides gracing our screens in ‘The Good Wife’ too, the Australian-American is a “good” mother to two boys, Solal Samuel Blanc, five, and Raphael Blanc, seven.
Raphael is everything she had ever wanted and been waiting for. He was a dream come true for Melissa, who was happy turning a year older with a baby growing inside her. He was born in Paris and the actress admitted that no words could describe the love she felt for him right away. We are pretty sure this had nothing to do with the fact that he was born in the city of love!
Nicole Trunfio – Zion Clark
Being born to celebrity parents has multiple benefits which we are envious of. For starters, one has artistic parents who are very understanding and thus give the freedom to explore one’s talents and pursue their passions, not to mention the financial support. Zion Clark, born in January 2015 to supermodel Nicole Trunfio and multiple Grammy winner Gary Clark jr is one lucky lad.
He seems to have taken after his gorgeous mum’s looks and the charm of his talented dad. Although Zion is still young and may not truly know his passion, we are certain that Nicole and Gary will fully support him and be there for him every step of the way.
Dannii Minogue – Ethan Edward Minogue Smith
2010 was a life-changing year for famous singer Dannii Minogue; that was when she became a mom to a lovely young boy, Ethan Edward Minogue Smith. The lad is the copy and paste version of his mama, with dashing looks and striking eyes, not to mention the enchanting smile.
Young Ethan is lucky to be born in such an influential family that is full of musical talent, and that seems to surround him with so much love. It is safe to say that the boy will not be short of guidance and support in whatever endeavors he chooses in life.
Richard Wilkins- Christian Wilkins
Richard Wilkins and Michelle Burke have a lovely son together who has taken the fashion world by storm. Christian Wilkins is a self-aware queer icon in the industry who is also involved in promoting gender fluidity. He talks about his relationship with his father and mentions that he is privileged enough to have parents who love and understand him.
For Christian, it doesn’t matter if people always keep him under the shadow of his father’s fame. He’s been criticized for being a star’s kid and having it easy. Christian, however, takes these criticisms positively and is busy focusing on building a successful career.
Dave Hughes – Rafferty Hughes
Imagine being among the funniest people in the country, but your kid isn’t a fan of your jokes! Well, that’s the story of Dave Hughes, whose son Rafferty doesn’t really laugh at his jokes despite understanding them. So it seems like father and son don’t share the same sense of humor!
Still, Rafferty is undoubtedly in good hands, and at least he took the charming looks to grow into more than a decent lad. With a famous dad, we bet the boy has an idea of how showbiz and fame work, and we wonder whether he would be interested in taking after his papa.
David Campbell – Leo Campbell
Being born into a family of singers has its perks; one would enjoy some tunes even before they’re born, and in Leo Campbell’s case, he escaped the womb with ‘Born to Be Alive’ belting in the maternity room. That is quite a welcome, to say the least, and his dad David Campbell was behind it all.
Maybe Leo will now follow his dreams with reckless abandon, and who knows, he might work on a record with his massively talented father. Of course, the lad is still young, so he has his entire life to find out his passions, not to mention the entire Campbell household behind him.
David Foster – Sara Michael Foster
You might know David Foster as the famous musician and award-winning composer with 14 Grammy awards under his belt, but did you know he has a daughter who’s staking her claim in showbiz? Sara Foster is following her dad into Hollywood, working on the big screen and wowing the audience with her flawless performances.
The actress has starred in several hits, including ‘90210,’ ‘D.E.B.S,’ and ‘The Big Bounce,’ all of which brought her rave reviews. We have seen a couple of families thrive in the film and music industries, and the Foster household seems to be among the top, which isn’t surprising considering their massive talent.
