Of course, Romeo isn’t the first celebrity kid to swap one spotlight for another. Some are practically born with a modelling contract in hand and a film script in the other.

From runway regulars who suddenly found themselves on set, to musicians’ kids who decided acting looked more fun than band rehearsals, there’s a long path of nepo kids pivoting into acting when you least expect it.

Kaia Gerber (daughter of Cindy Crawford)

Following in her mother’s modelling footsteps, Kaia Gerber made her debut for Versace at just 10 years old before going on to work with major fashion houses and appear on countless editorial covers.

She later began exploring acting in her teens, starting with Sister Cities and going on to appear in American Horror Story, Bottoms (2023) and Saturday Night (2024). Gerber is also set to feature in James Morosini’s upcoming erotic thriller Bulls.
