21 Young Celebs You Didn’t Realize Were The Kids Of Other Celebs

    Step one for getting famous: be born to a British soap star.

    Hollywood is constantly cycling in new faces — but that doesn't always mean new genes. A lot of the younger or up-and-coming stars you've seen on screen or on stage actually have famous parents.

    These so-called "nepotism babies" don't always follow directly in their parents' footsteps, so it can be easy to miss who grew up in the shadow of their mom or dad's spotlight.

    Here are 21 young celebrities you probably didn't realize were the children of other celebs:

    1. You know Maude Apatow as Lexi Howard on Euphoria.
