Nepo baby Hannah Einbinder reveals what her Hollywood parents REALLY think of her following in their acting footsteps - and explains how she manages to stay grounded
Her Hollywood star parents Laraine Newman, 73, and Chad Einbinder, 62, welcomed Hannah in 1995.
Laraine was an original cast member of Saturday Night Live and Chad has starred in a number of films and TV series including, Doctor Dolittle, The Time Traveller's Wife, Tangled and more.
Now Hannah has shared that her parents originally told her not to go into comedy or acting as they believed it doesn't actually matter if your funny or not.
Hannah told Town & Country: 'They kind of discouraged it.
'I was like, "Do you think I could do it?" And my mom was like, "I don't know. You could be really funny, and it actually sometimes doesn't matter."'

Despite her parents originally 'discouraging' the career, Hannah has shot to fame for her portrayal of Ava Daniels in hit series Hacks and has bagged herself a Critics' Choice Award and was Emmy and Golden Globe nominated.
Laraine and Chad tied the knot in 1991 and were married 24 years before splitting and in that time also welcomed son Spike, 33.
Also while speaking to the outlet, Hannah insisted she has managed to stay grounded as she opened up about her life outside the spotlight.
She said: 'I'm in a sweet spot right now. My life has changed zero in the most tangible, everyday sense. I walk wherever I want to go. I live really small; I have a one-bedroom apartment. I drive a used 2015 Prius.'
Hannah also discussed how the first time she did stand-up was a complete rush and all her 'self-doubt just melted away'.
Hannah is the magazine's latest cover girl and looked stunning in a eye catching green strapless jumpsuit as she posed for photos.
The stunner added a pair of long black leather gloves and a chunky gold necklace.
In another look, the star put on a leggy display in a daring orange gown which boasted a plunging drape neckline and a thigh high split.

It comes after Hannah's mum Laraine deleted an angry post targeting The Bear after her daughter lost out at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards last September.
'F**. THE. BEAR,' Laraine posted along with numerous exclamation points on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Laraine posted in reaction to Liza Colon-Zayas of The Bear winning for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Hannah was nominated in the same category for her work in the HBO series Hacks.
Laraine then posted: 'I think the Bear is a great show but IMHO it's not a comedy- not even a dark comedy.'
Someone else asked if the original post was necessary and Laraine responded: 'I know. I took it down. Not my best moment.'
Laraine earlier shared her frustration over The Bear being in the same comedy category as Hacks.
'Every time I think about The Bear being in the comedy category for the Emmys I can feel an ulcer developing,' she posted.
While Hannah lost out in her acting category, Hacks did win the final award of the event - Outstanding Comedy Series.
Hacks also won for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series and Jean Smart, 73, won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on the HBO show.
Meanwhile, Shogun broke the all-time record for a single season of TV with 18 as the show not only earned top honor Outstanding Drama Series but also Outstanding Lead Actress and Actor In A Drama Series for Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada, respectively.
When it came to the limited or anthology series categories, it was Netflix smash-hit Baby Reindeer which earned Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series in addition to Outstanding Lead Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series for Richard Gadd and Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series for Jessica Gunning.
The ceremony was held less than a year after the 75th edition of the show which took place the January before after being moved back from its intended September 2023 date due to the writers and actors strikes.

The great American road trip that music lovers will adore
Out they stream, hands a-clappin' and feet a-tappin', a whirl of crimson cowboy shirts and petticoat-boosted skirts. Saturday night is square dance night at the Grand Ole Opry and the packed house is loving it, the woman sitting next to me more than anyone. 'That's my granddaughter,' she says proudly, pointing up at one of the dancers. 'Let's go, Casey!' Grand Ole Opry, America's longest-running radio programme, turned 100 this year. Broadcasting live musical performances (with the odd high-kicking interlude) from Nashville, it is known as the show that made country music famous, showcasing everyone from Hank Williams to Taylor Swift (tickets from £32; There is a full calendar of special events to mark the centenary, including the Opry's first foray overseas, at the Royal Albert Hall in September, when the golden boy Luke Combs will headline. I was at the start of a week of pure musical indulgence, going from the honky-tonks of downtown Nashville to the blues bars of Memphis and the jazz joints of New Orleans: a 600-mile dream of a road trip with a no-skip playlist. The Opry has been staged at a snazzy 4,000-capacity venue next to an out-of-town shopping mall since the mid-Seventies. Actually, the shopping mall is relatively new; until 1997 there was a theme park here called Opryland. What I would give to have seen Dolly Parton riding the log flume while Johnny Cash minded the bags and nibbled at a corn dog. For the real romance of the Opry you have to go downtown to the Ryman Auditorium, the former church that hosted the show for the 30 years beforehand. Built by a riverboat captain who found God, the Ryman is where the likes of Patsy Cline and Elvis Presley took some of their first steps towards stardom, performing in front of audiences perched on wooden pews. The Opry may have moved on, but the magic of the Ryman lingers and a tour will give you backstage access (from £35; Not that everyone wants to linger behind the scenes. Nip out of the rear door and you're in the alley that separates the Ryman from the country bars, or honky-tonks, of Lower Broadway. Plenty of musicians have livened up a soundcheck with a few sharpeners or an impromptu set at Robert's Western World or Tootsie's Orchid Lounge; Willie Nelson even sang of the '17 steps to Tootsie's and 34 steps back'. Lower Broad, as the street is known in this patch of Tennessee, is very much the party strip in this booming city. Thirty or so bars, most with live bands, jostle for space while neon signs flash and party buses cruise the street. The open-backed buses all seem to be filled with women in pink cowboy hats holding on to stripper poles and screaming along to Shania Twain. Alcohol may be involved. Welcome to Nash Vegas, hen-do capital of the US. The three-hour, 200-mile drive west to Memphis is largely unremarkable, other than the odd church sign on the side of the road telling me that 'Satan is on a rampage'. But there are points of interest if you know what you're looking for. Interstate 40 takes you right past Jackson, where Carl 'Blue Suede Shoes' Perkins is buried, as well as Brownsville and Nutbush, Tina Turner's old stomping grounds. I know to look out for these places because of a guy called Aubrey Preston, whom I'd met in Leiper's Fork, a pretty village half an hour's drive south of Nashville. Preston is a music nut and his passion project is the Americana Music Triangle, an initiative that uses live music events and guided driving routes to champion the stories of the musicians and places dotted between the three cities I'm visiting ( • 10 of the best places to visit in the US Over a plate of barbecue at Fox & Locke, the village's main bar (mains from £6; we chatted about how British and Irish immigrants moved inland from the Appalachians towards Nashville, bringing their fiddles and ballads. And about how that music mixed with the banjos, drums and rhythms of enslaved Africans, the folk songs of Cajun settlers, Spanish guitars and countless other influences that made their way up and down the Mississippi River. 'It all came crashing together inside this triangle, like in a big washing machine,' Preston said. 'And what came out of it was country, blues, jazz, rock'n'roll, gospel … everything. It's all related. And there's music everywhere.' It's something I thought about as I checked out of the Dark Horse Estate the next morning. A rustic retreat between Leiper's Fork and the small city of Franklin, the Estate is a working recording studio with a handful of simple, comfortable, overpriced rooms, primarily for artists to stay in while making albums. Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Tim McGraw have all recorded here, although I don't know who was playing drums as I packed up the car. Pulling off the highway into Memphis, the contrast with the country music capital is immediate and obvious. While Nashville felt glossy and prosperous, Memphis feels gritty and unvarnished. But what the city lacks in glitter, it makes up for in soul. And blues. And rock'n'roll. For soul there's the Stax museum, a fabulous shrine to the record label that gave us Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes (£15; For rock'n'roll there's Sun Studio (£15; where Elvis cut his first record, and Graceland, his mansion on the outskirts of town, which has huge exhibition halls covering every rhinestone-encrusted inch of Mr Pelvis's life (from £38; And for blues? Well, as Lower Broad is to Nashville, so Beale Street is to Memphis: a live music hot box dripping in neon and party people. Musicians have been stopping to play here since the mid-1800s, its heyday coming a hundred years later, when big hitters like Muddy Waters and BB King would clamber up on to various stages here, helping to define Memphis blues. • 10 of the most beautiful places in America After a finger-lickin' dinner of crispy chicken and fried green tomatoes at Gus's, a local paper plate and plastic cup favourite (mains from £8; I leave the car back at my hotel, the grand, old-school Peabody. They say the Mississippi Delta starts in the lobby here; I don't know about that, but I do know that it's home to Lansky Bros, the outfitters who used to dress Elvis in all those fabulous suits he wore when he was starting out. I also know that twice a day crowds gather to watch a man in a red tailcoat escort a parade of ducks to and from the lobby fountain. It's a five-minute waddle from the Peabody to Beale Street, where I spend the evening dipping in and out of its two dozen music bars. I pull up a stool at the BB King's Blues Club for last orders and the final few songs from the All-Stars (£7; before slipping over the road to an alleyway with a stage, a ramshackle bar and a blistering blues band who laugh in the face of closing time. The next morning, after a breakfast of great sausage, delicious biscuits and grim, tasteless grits at the Arcade diner, an old Elvis hangout (mains from £8; I point the car south. As with the route from Nashville to Memphis, there's not much to see on the six-hour, 400-mile drive down Interstate 55 to New Orleans, but I have good company. Al Green and Jerry Lee Lewis play me through Tennessee and Mississippi, before I hit Louisiana and my old friends Dr John and Fats Domino usher me into the Big Easy. Peering out over Bourbon Street from my hotel room balcony that evening, I can see a group of teenagers drumming on upturned buckets and, further along, a brass band cranking out some wild Dixieland tunes. The street's trickle of revellers clutching overpriced cocktails in novelty glasses is slowly turning into a river. The Bourbon is starting to flow.

I leave and wander down towards the Mississippi, passing saxophonists on street corners and bars with trios playing to day drinkers. Past the French Market, where a jazz band entertains the beignet brigade at Café du Monde, and on to Elysian Fields Avenue, the setting for A Streetcar Named Desire. I cross Frenchmen Street and find my way to Louis Armstrong Park, named after one of the city's most famous sons and home to Congo Square. In the early 19th century this square was the only place where enslaved Africans were allowed to gather, on Sunday afternoons, and express their culture through music and dance.

Dan Ziskie, who starred in House of Cards and Treme, has died at the age of 80. The actor's family confirmed the news of his passing, saying he was 'a man of remarkable talent' Actor Dan Ziskie, famed for his gripping performances of political figures in House of Cards and Treme, has sadly died aged 80.

Sophie Turner says kissing Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington left them 'retching'
Sophie Turner was selected as one of the producers for the horror film when she nominated Kit Harington as her co-star, which he warned would be 'really weird'. Sophie Turner has revealed that reuniting with her former Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington on screen became more challenging than expected when they found themselves forced to kiss on camera. The actress, who famously played Sansa Stark on HBO's high fantasy show, stars alongside Harington in the upcoming gothic horror The Dreadful. Despite their excitement to work together again, Turner admitted that their sibling bond from Game of Thrones made filming romantic scenes deeply uncomfortable. While on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the 29-year-old confessed: "We put it out of our minds, and then when it came to shooting, we were both retching. It was vile. Honestly, the worst." This comes as Sophie issued a savage response after she was mum-shamed over her kids. Turner explained that while she hadn't worked with Harington since Game of Thrones wrapped in 2019, their friendly sibling style relationship had continued off-screen. That familiarity made it almost impossible to tackle the romantic scenes they were presented with in the Dreadful. When writer-director Natasha Kermani asked who she envisioned as the male lead in The Dreadful, Turner said Kit was the obvious choice. She recalled: "I sent the script to Kit, and he came back saying, 'Yeah, I'd love to, but this is going to be really weird, Soph.' Then I went through the script again and it's just kiss, kiss, sex, kiss. And suddenly I realised, oh right, that's my brother." The awkwardness hit straight away, as their very first scene together involved kissing. Turner joked that even a scene from her thriller Trust, which required her to stay still in a room with cockroaches and rats crawling over her, didn't compare to that moment. "Kissing Kit was still worse," she admitted. The Dreadful is set against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses in 15th-century England, and follows Anne (Turner) as her fragile existence with her mother-in-law Morwen is upended when a man from her past (Harington) returns and sparks a dangerous chain of events. The cast also features Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence O'Fuarain, and Jonathan Howard. A release date has yet to be announced, but the film is already generating buzz thanks to its high-profile lead stars. Both Turner and Harington rose to fame as members of House Stark, one of the central families competing to rule over Westeros in Game of Thrones. Although Jon Snow 's true Targaryen heritage was revealed later, audiences still strongly associated him with Sansa's family, making the idea of a romance between the two particularly uncomfortable. Turner previously joked to Vogue: "Sorry guys, it's weird for all of us." This comes after Turner's recent confession that she once accidentally broke up a celebrity couple at a Comic-Con afterparty. A simple wave to an actor her friend admired spiralled into chaos when his fiancée confronted Turner for "flirting" with him. The pair ended their engagement that same night. Turner laughed: "Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn't realise I held this power."
