I know two girls, from totally different circles, who Marco PWs son picked up on nights out when they were in their teens, took back to hotels and introduced to heroin. He is vile.

I remember listening to a podcast a few years ago with Anais on it. She was talking about how she’d begun a career in photography and she’d just been on tour with her dad taking photos.

She was incredibly humble about it. Put her hands up and basically said she wouldn’t be where she was without her name and connections. She didn’t try to claim that she got the gig because of her talent, but because of who she was. She mentioned as well how frustrating she finds it when celebrity kids try to claim they work really hard and don’t use their parents connections to get work when they clearly do.

I came away with a hell of a lot of respect for her and her parents for how they had raised her. I seem to remember he acknowledging too that both her parents came from very working class backgrounds and how she was reminded a lot as a child of how lucky she was and how that helped to ground her. Really lovely girl from what I saw.

Think Gordon Ramsey’s kids all seem fairly level headed and down to earth. Thinking of chef’s children at the other end of the scale, Marco Pierre white junior or whatever he’s called seems like an absolute waster, he was awful on big brother and just constantly gets in trouble.

I agree, Tilly Ramsey is a whole load of nothing, riding off her dad’s success. I find her very irritating!

Gordon Ramsays kids all seem to have turned out well, especially his son who is in the Royal Marines. I also remember him in a tv show a couple of years ago where he stayed with people who lived on benefits and were job hunting etc., he came across so lovely, polite and well mannered.

I'm so sick of the 2 oldest Beckham boys and their "I love you so much" Instagram posts (and their other halves replies similar replies too). It's just so odd to me, they arent even young teens 🤢

I'm sure Gordon Ramsay's daughter wouldn't have had a CBBC cooking show without her Dad's fame. It was filmed during their Summers spent in California. How the other half live....

It's not easy to get into the Marines. The potential recruit course has around a 50-60% failure rate apparently and around 15-25% fail the actual recruit course. Your dad being a celebrity does not help get you through!
I think Gordon Ramsays son was used as an example of a celebs kid who had not gone the 'My dads famous, gizza job' route, but had gone his own way, like Bruce Springsteens son.

Bono's son's band is called Inhaler. They're really good and have a debut album coming out later this year. I was contemplating going to one of their gigs about a week before lockdown started last year but I didn't so massive regrets there 😂 I think Elijah does a good job of not mentioning his dad at every opportunity for the sake of getting his band exposure. Noel's daughter Anais is pretty sound too. She's been a guest on a couple of podcasts I listen to and she's less reluctant to mention Oasis but can't really blame her, its an interesting conversation point. Denise's son Matty is the lead singer of The 1975 - they're pretty huge at this point but a lot of fans don't like Matty. He's very obnoxious and says a lot of words while actually saying very little😂. He usually sticks his foot into a lot of social justive conversations but his lack of knowledge makes him come across as performative. They've got a lot of very good songs but several very experimental (shit) songs too.
I think there is a difference between people who have talent and happen to be the children of someone famous. They just happen to have had more doors open to them because of their parents, so for example, they have had access to expensive schools with excellent facilities that they have taken advantage of, or their talents have been noticed more easily because they are around film or music producers. I mean, my son wants to be an illustrator. He is a very talented artist, (If I may say so myself 🤩 )If I was a film star, too right I would send his stuff to someone I once worked with at Disney. Unfortunately, I'm not, so he'll have to go to art college like all the other struggling artists out there!
I doubt Matty Healy is in a world famous band because his parents were in some 2nd rate British soaps, or Tom Holland got the Spiderman gig because his dad was a mildly successful British comedian in the 90's, but they certainly had opportunities and money that other kids may not have had.
I think when it comes to nepotism its the Beckham's again, where none of the kids seem to have any talent in their chosen fields, but manage to get book deals and record contracts just because their parents have paid for their every whim. I think with modelling, its partly that children could inherit the looks and personalities of their parents ( I think Kaia Gerber is stunning for eg and looks like her mother) the things that helped their parents become famous in the first place. But again, there are some that don't have any of that and are there because magazines know that kids of famous parents sell magazines and get traffic on Instagram they can use for marketing.

I seem to recall Noel voicing aloud that he was concerned about Anais having his looks or face, that it would be a shame for a little girl. Anais might have been just a baby then. He probably knew then that it was a foregone conclusion, those Gallagher genes are STRONG. And it's only in hindsight that I now realise how much Meg and Noel resemble one another...so much to unpack there. Like looking in a mirror, eh Noel? 😂

Anais seems like a self-assured woman, though and her own person despite the nepotism. It's always weird to me to see the very grown up children of people my age (early 50s), maybe because I didn't have kids myself. The parents are more frozen in time for me or something.

I’m surprised that out of three boys none of them have inherited their dads footballing gene. I suppose you still have to work at it though no matter how gifted you are and they are entitled so...🤷‍♀️Maybe Harper will.
I think VB will be spitting feathers if Harpers passion turns out to be football and not all things fashion and beauty.

You can tell when celebrity children want to distance themselves from the family name too. Its telling that fans to this day are still shocked when they find out who Matty Healy's parents are (I mean they're not as shocking as Bono but it still is funny finding out his mum is on loose women and his dad was the cross dresser on Benidorm). Anais Gallagher admitted herself that she purposely set up her instagram account as 'gallagheranais' so people would be able to find her but she does generally recognise her privilege. The Beckham kids do offer very little and I don't think teenagers are as invested in 'David Beckham's sons' as they were in like 2014, 2015. Les Dawson's daughter is one that likes to remind us at every opportunity that her dad was famous. Its sad that she lost him so young but its like, we know he was your dad so its time for you to get some talent in your own right 😂 Is that too insensitive?😂

Bono’s daughter was just recently in a Netflix series called Behind her eyes and she was actually quite a good actor as opposed to other celeb offspring being embarrassingly untalented yet still being offered the job.

What's everyone's opinion on Lily Rose Depp? I want to like her but I just can't stand her sullen miserable looking face all the time. Apparently smiling in photographs isn't 'cool' anymore.

I hope she does. She seems like a normal little girl, I would worry she’d be a prime candidate for an eating disorder if her mother got her skeletal fingers into here. One thing about David he seems to be very much about health and well-being rather than looking like a famine victim.

Do the Beckham kids ever go to school? I thought Harper was in a school in London but they've been swanning around Miami for the last few weeks. It can't be easy to make friends or establish roots when you are moving constantly.
The Beckham boys seemed to have latched onto a girl each and have kept them close to brand Beckham so they have someone their own age to react with. The daughter seems such a lonely child, nice to be with parents but not all the time.
Ramsey kids all seem to live their own lives but the one that gets on my nerves is Ronan Keetings daughter who is trying so hard to be a model/influencer etc and does not seem to have the where with all.

Do you know about Anais and Liam's kids and if they get on? I imagine that they're around the same age and must have crossed paths in London. Going into celeb cousin territory now but I'm sure Anais kind of got on with Liam at one point but it all got messed up on twitter (as it usually does)

But I still have a feeling everyone gets on behind the scenes
I think one of Liam’s sons told Anais she looked like Noel in a wig and they’ve not been on good terms since. I think they were friendly enough before then.
