Talented Nepo Babies

On the back of a thread I've just started reading, who do you think is a nepo baby, but extremely talented?

I'll start with two, number one, Roman Kemp. I saw him presenting The One Show and had no idea who he was. I thought he was naturally good at presenting, really engaging and nice. I then heard him on his podcast with his dad, and found him incredibly funny
Second person is Lily Allen, although I've never seen her act, her music is brilliant, and although I like her dad, (her mum is famous too, but I don't know much about her) I think she is way cleverer than her dad. Sorry, Keith! Her podcast with Miquita is great too. Such a bright woman.

Any other takers?

Let's not mention the Fox dynasty, that went wayward recently...

Definitely Roman Kemp. He’s an excellent presenter and his stint on I’m a Celebrity made him seem likeable and down to earth. Also, doing a weekday morning radio show is probably the toughest gig in radio. Who’d want to get up at 4.30am every working day if they didn’t have to?

True! One rogue member for sure.

The Troughtons are doing well.
Patrick - early Doctor Who
David - Tony in The Archers as well as lots of other stuff
Will - Tom Archer
Harry Melling - Dudley Dursley and lots of other stuff since
There are others as well, but these are the ones I remember seeing/hearing.

I don't think Lily Allen is particularly talented. I don't hate on her but her music, writing, singing etc is not great.
I guess Sophie Ellis bextor, she was a successful model and had a couple of hits, and has been working since in the industry. But again, talent is difficult for me to judge on certain things.
Like is Roman kemp better than nick grimshaw? One had a famous dad, the other sucked up to minor celebs for a decade?
I think being a celebrity offspring is probably a curse to your creativity.

John David Washington - son of Denzil. Black Klansman was a really good film.

Uma Thurman and Ethan hawke’s daughter Maya. Omg she is mesmerising on screen and I had no idea who her parents were until I’d finished the series.
