From their trips to jail to their (multiple) trips down the aisle, we’ve seen celebrity kids crash and burn before our eyes. Though kids of celebs often get a bad rap, there are also tons of them who are genuinely cool people. Some celeb kids choose to follow in Mom and Dad’s footsteps by finding their own place in the limelight, and some are just content to go to college and survive in the real world. No matter what the case, there are legit celeb kids out there, and HC has compiled a list of the ones we’d most like to hang with (or admire from afar, whatever works!)
Jack Quaid
Jack Quaid, 19, may be new on the movie scene (look for him as Marvel in next month’s The Hunger Games) but he’s no stranger to acting. As the son of rom-com sweetheart Meg Ryan and hot teacher from The Rookie Dennis Quaid, Jack has seen his fair share of Hollywood. Blessed with his mom’s adorable curls and his dad’s charming smile, Quaid’s future in Hollywood looks bright.
Maude Apatow
As the older daughter of actress Leslie Mann and producer Judd Apatow, Maude Apatow, 13, is destined for stardom. Between her mom’s gorgeous looks and her dad’s eye for great humor, Maude is sure to have to whole package. She has played in a couple of her dad’s films, including Knocked Up and Funny People, and she shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
Suri Cruise
Okay, so this fashionable little lady might be closer in age to the kids you babysit, but spending an hour with the adorable 5-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes could definitely be a learning experience. Suri mixes designer handbags in with her everyday look of adorable dresses and accessories to match. Suri has become such an icon, there is a blog called Suri’s Burn Book that is made to look like something Suri snarkily writes about other celebrity children.
Lourdes Leon
As the daughter of Madonna, Lourdes, known as Lola, has grown up in the spotlight. This 15-year-old has always shown a great sense of fashion, and she designs a clothing line for Macy’s with her mom. Lola has yet to make the news with a scandal, and she seems to have her head in the right place. Hanging with Lola could mean sitting front row at a fashion show or just grabbing coffee and talking about what her next blog post will be about.
Lorraine Nicholson
Lorraine, the 21-year-old daughter of Jack Nicholson, has her fair share of the spotlight. From acting in movies to being chosen as Miss Golden Globe, she’s done the Hollywood scene. She now keeps it a little lower key as a Literary Arts major at Brown University. Hanging with her could mean hitting up the library for a study sesh or helping her plan out her next career move. Though she’s in college now, she still wants to pursue an acting career.
