Hollywood celebrities with famous family ties you had no idea about – from the Fanning sisters to Tom Cruise being a babysitter

Hollywood is awash with famous families. You have iconic siblings like the Hemsworth brothers, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal or Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Often children have leveraged their parents’ fame to help propel their own careers, like Miley Cyrus, whose dad Billy Ray Cyrus gave us that one-hit-wonder Achy Breaky Heart. Willow and Jaden Smith’s successful acting and music careers have made them just as famous as parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, and supermodel Kaia Gerber followed in her mum Cindy Crawford’s footsteps down the runway.

And when your brood is big enough they can turn that fame into a billion-dollar empire like the Kardashian-Jenner clan, the Warner Brothers who founded one of Hollywood’s first major studios, and the extended Jackson family.

However, there are plenty celebrities whose Hollywood family connections have been kept away from the spotlight.

Not everyone can say Tom Cruise used to be my babysitter, for Bryce Dallas Howard, however, these were casual perks to having a world-renowned, Academy Award-winning film director father Ron Howard. There are a surprising handful of Hollywood actors who have famous family members running for generations, from in-laws to exes.

As the adage goes, it’s all about who you know, not what you know, in show business. But despite the famous relations, many of these celebs have made successful Hollywood careers without name-dropping. While some might be related to Hollywood royalty, others are related to actual royalty.

Watch to see 10 stars you had no idea hail from super-famous families.
