HE IS HER FATHER

THIS nepo-baby looked right at home as she walked the red carpet for her new TV show.
And it's no surprise, as the actress has grown up with a very famous Hollywood star dad.

The 23-year-old was snapped in New York at the premiere for the new Prime Video series We Were Liars.
But can you guess who she is? Or who her A-list dad is?
The lady in question is Esther McGregor, the daughter of Scottish actor Ewan McGregor.
Ewan, 54, has had a massive career in Hollywood, starring in blockbusters including Star Wars, Trainspotting and Moulin Rouge.
Esther has now followed in her father's footsteps and is enjoying her own successful acting career.
On Tuesday evening, she was snapped in a stunning beaded crop top and matching skirt at the premiere of We Were Liars.
Esther stars as Mirren Sinclair in the eight-part series, which is based on the novel of the same name by E. Lockhart.
The story follows Mirren's 17-year-old sister Cadence, who is trying to piece together her memories of a fateful summer after suffering a head injury.
We Were Liars is due to hit Prime on June 18 and it is Esther's first big streaming role.
Last year, she starred as Nicole Kidman's on-screen daughter in the movie Babygirl.
Ewan McGregor emotional as he's awarded star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
In a recent interview, Esther admitted she has always wanted to be like her dad Ewan and "came out singing".
Esther's mum is also Eve Mavrakis, a French production designer, so the arts was definitely in the blood.
She has already starred alongside Ewan in Star Wars spin-off Obi-Wan Kenobi and the drama Bleeding Love, but her most recent roles have been without him by her side.
Speaking to ELLE, Esther recently said: "I definitely came out singing, for sure. But being in close proximity to anything will build its charm - I immediately fell in love with it.
"I want to give the gratitude that I think deserves its place, in terms of being raised in a family in film.
"Being able to be on sets really aided that love and that breath and that heartbeat."
She added: "As much as I don't think I would be able to do anything else, who knows?
"It was the way that I was born, the world I was born into. So I feel very thankful that I'm able to do what I do, because I need it."
Ewan, meanwhile, previously ruled out any suggestion that Esther's career has only come off the back of his own success.
The Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor spoke out after Esther landed her cameo alongside him in the Disney+ miniseries, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Speaking to James Corden on The Late, Late Show in 2022, Ewan said: "I'm sure everybody thinks she got the job because of me, but really she didn't. She auditioned for the role.
"You don't really know with your kids until that moment when I was acting with her and it felt really normal and natural."
Ewan has five children: Clara, 28, Esther, 23, Jamyan, also 23, and Anouk, 13, with his first wife Eve, and Laurie, three, with his current partner Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Diddy On Trial ‘Jane' tells court of sex night with different famous rapper
The former partner of Sean 'Diddy' Combs has finished her fifth and final day of testimony at his trial. 'Jane', who is using a pseudonym to protect her identity, was cross-examined by Diddy's defence and asked more questions by the prosecution. She also told the court about a sex night in Las Vegas with another famous rapper and his girlfriend. She testified about 'hotel nights', Diddy paying her rent and lavish birthday parties, telling the court that she would have given all the gifts back if 'she didn't have to have sex with men other than Diddy'. The defence asked 'Jane' about the thousands of dollars she received from Diddy during their relationship, in addition to her rent. Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to BBC New York correspondent Nada Tawfik and criminal defence attorney Shaun Kent about the week in court.

MindsEye Guide: Missions 1-3 Walkthrough
Mindseye Guide: Missions 1-3 Mission 1: Welcome To Redrock Back to top ↑ Welcome to MindsEye! This action adventure title is rather linear (and very buggy) but it's also got a few confusing missions that you may need some guidance for. This guide will get you through the entire campaign and point out any tips, tricks or workarounds to known issues along the way. We'll get you through this one to the other side quickly and in one piece. There aren't any collectibles to grab beyond enemy weapons (of which there are 11) so there's no danger of missing anything unless you're actively avoiding combat. There's also Mission Select from your main menu too so you can replay any chapter at any time. Aside from one trophy (which we'll get to shortly) there's no danger of missing out on anything so it should be a relatively straightforward ride. First off, you'll be graced with some cutscenes. These total around 8 minutes, and as subtitles aren't on by default, if you go into the menu and select 'HUD' you can change that option there if you like. It's something the game doesn't actually tell you, hence why it's included here! As the cutscenes continue, you'll automatically grab the Achievement: Through a different Lenz. When the cutscene ends, walk with Seb up the linear path. There's not much to see here and none of the NPCs will interact with you either. Eventually it'll trigger another cutscene and end the hardest mission you will ever see in a video game. Mission 2: First Day at Silva Back to top ↑ Inside the Silva facility, jump up the buggy by pressing Triangle (Y) and drive it along to the marked location on your map. Park up the buggy next to the one already stationary and it'll trigger another cutscene. When Rigby hands you a gun (Weapon #1: Delta .45), follow her out the room. You can interact with the big map in the middle of the room but there's not really much you can do with it. In the corridor, you'll be prompted to tap the down directional pad to activate your scanner. This is quite a handy tool to get used to using, mostly because it'll mark nearby enemies or any locked doors that you might need to hack. Unfortunately, it's not as in-depth as Watch Dog's interactive elements but it serves its purpose all the same. Mission 3: A Strange Happening Back to top ↑ Enter the buggy and drive outside the facility. Follow the marker and pick up Seb. Once he enters, follow the marker on your map all the way out to the desert. Make sure you don't drive too far away (over 600 yard away) on the road as you'll activate a Game Over screen if you do! Drive toward the smoke in the distance in the desert, and you'll find a bunch of rogue robots marching about. Park up nearby and hit the down direction to mark the enemies. After, holding L1, select your weapon and then take cover by pressing O (B) near to the rocks. The game doesn't have a blind cover option which is lovely but the enemies don't hit too hard here so go ahead and take them out without too much fear of getting shot in return. Running over the corpses will net you some Light Ordance pick-ups but not much else. When you're ready, get back in the buggy and return to the security office. Approach the console by the wall (pictured below) and hit Triangle (Y) to interact.
