This 19-year-old has an Academy Award winning father and an equally talented mom. You might know his mom for her role as "Jenny," the childhood sweetheart of a loveably naïve Southern gentleman.

It's Hopper Penn!

Hopper's parents are actors Sean Penn and Robin Wright, who divorced in 2009 after 14 years of marriage. Hopper, 19, and his sister Dylan, 21, were raised out of the spotlight in San Francisco. “I didn’t want to raise my kids in this weird, sycophantic society,” Wright, who starred in Forest Gump and The Princess Bride, told Entertainment Weekly. “If you have celebrity parents, it’s not a good recipe for the kids, or anyone at any age."

His dad has had ladies swooning for years, both on stage and on the big screen.

Singer and actor Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jesse Bongiovi, 17, is a star in his own right—on the lacrosse team at his New York prep school. “Most people out on the street don’t really know who I am,” the younger Bongiovi (pictured here with his dad and basketball star Dwyane Wade) told the NY Post in May. “They know my dad. Most of the time, I just get to be a normal 17-year-old kid." But he is following dad’s path in his own way. “My dad is always a big believer in working hard,” Bongiovi, who has four siblings, added. “If you work hard, you kind of get what you work for.”

Some people say there's only six degrees of separation between them and this 19-year-old's father.

It's Sosie Bacon!

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick tried hard to keep Sosie and their son Travis, 22 from acting, but that didn't work for long on their daughter. Sosie has starred alongside her mom on the hit show, Closer, and in the movie Loverboy. So, why the hesitation for them to get into the biz? Dad Kevin explained to CNN's Piers Morgan: “You’ve got to really have a really tough skin. If you paint a painting and you put it up there, people will judge your painting and they’ll say, ‘I don’t like that.’ But when you’re an actor, it’s you (that is judged). It’s your face. It’s everything. … It’s so personal that I don’t think we really wanted to put our kids through that.”

Her parents are just as well-known for their acting skills as their divorce, which has often put this 16-year-old in the middle of their public arguments.

Statuesque Ireland Baldwin, 16, may not be hitting the runway quite yet, but it seems it’s only a matter of time. The daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin (you may recall a 2007 incident in which he left a pretty nasty message on her voicemail) soaked up the spotlight earlier this month when her dad’s nuptials to Hilaria Thomas (pictured) put her in the paparazzi's path.

With a restaurant named Ford Filling Station in Culver City, Calif., it might be easy to guess who this chef calls "dad."

The 36-year-old chef and father of two has said he draws culinary inspiration from his mom Mary and his father, actor Harrison Ford. The elder Ford, who has four other children, has tried to keep his private life private, choosing to spend most of his four-decade long career living on his ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyo.

Guess Who?

It's no surprise this 19-year-old is sporting a rocker-chic look in shorts and lace tights: her parents are both famous musicians.

Frances Bean Cobain

The daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Frances Bean has long been at the center of court battles between her mother and her paternal grandparents. And Cobain, now 19, has just about had it with mom—whom she filed a restraining order against in 2009. Courtney has taken to Twitter, accusing her deceased husband’s former bandmate, Dave Grohl, of making advances toward her daughter. “While I’m generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn,” Frances Bean told RollingStone.com in May.

This 21-year-old plays basketball, just like his famous dad, for the University of Central Florida.

Marcus (pictured with his dad Michael Jordan in 1993), has some big basketball shoes to fill! He and his older brother Jeffrey both play the sport, but dad Michael tries not to make comparisons. "They play a different game than what I played," Jordan, who also has a daughter with ex-wife Juanita, told USA Today in February. "I just want them to be themselves, and so far they have."
