    5. He's the only biological child of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow.

    6. And he had this badass statement to make about his estrangement from Woody:

    "He's my father married to my sister. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression...I cannot see him. I cannot have a relationship with my father and be morally consistent. I lived with all these adopted children, so they are my family.
