Hollywood star's nepo baby son reveals ripped torso and bulging biceps while on holiday with his stunning girlfriend
The nepo baby is the son of Andy Serkis, who famously spent hours in a motion-capture suit to transform into Gollum for The Lord of the Rings.
Now his film and TV star son is turning heads with an eye-catching transformation of his own.
The 21-year-old scion of British acting royalty shared a series of shirtless holiday snaps, while revealing an impressively sculpted physique.
In the photos, the rising star can be seen on a beach in Colombia, wearing nothing but black swim shorts and sunglasses.
Louis is the youngest son of Andy and his wife, the actress Lorraine Ashbourne, who stars in Netflix hit Bridgerton.
The 21-year-old scion of British acting royalty shared a series of holiday snaps with his girl, who the Daily Mail can reveal is British equestrian-turned-stuntwoman Amelia Haynes
While his dad is famous for disappearing into digital characters like Caesar in Planet of the Apes, Louis is very much stepping into the spotlight as himself.
Alongside his beach snaps, Louis also shared photos of his girlfriend, who the Daily Mail can reveal is British equestrian-turned-stuntwoman Amelia Haynes.
The stunning blonde also shared a photo of them on Instagram as she stunned in a floral sundress as Louis planted a kiss on her head.
Louis' first on-screen appearance was in 2012's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which featured his dad's return as Gollum.
The role, credited as 'Cute Young Hobbit', marked the beginning of what has become a successful journey so far into the family business.
In 2018, he appeared as the wolf cub Bhoot in Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, directed by and co-starring his father.
He then landed the lead role in the 2019 film, The Kid Who Would Be King, co-starring Sir Patrick Stewart and Rebecca Ferguson.
He also starred alongside Anya Taylor-Joy in the hit Netflix series, The Queen's Gambit, and more recently, played the troubled teen son of Martin Clunes' character in ITV's Out There.
Louis' sister Ruby, is also an actress, best known for The Letter for the King on Netflix, while his brother Sonny has dipped into acting too.
'I was never obliged to take part in what they do and they never forced it on me and said 'this is what your going to do',' Louis told The Mirror earlier this year.
'But I love it, I have always loved entertaining and bringing joy through that.
'I think if you get the opportunity to tell a story and to inspire people I think you should take it.
'I was young and in a way stumbled into acting, and tried it when I was around seven or eight.'
The star is doing his parents proud, as his dad gushed in 2019 to Entertainment Tonight: 'I'm just extraordinarily proud. Seeing him go through all the work, the training, the buildup and then the filming.
'All my kids are just growing up. They're experiencing travelling and seeing the world... having their experiences broadened. It's great.'

‘I've seen tough, rugby-playing men cowering': how we made theatre horror The Woman in Black
When my first daughter was five, I asked a friend's daughter, who was a medical student, to look after her in the summer holiday so I might get something written. I had limited time before my daughter went back to school and having that deadline was a very good thing. I'd always liked ghost stories – MR James and so on – but they were always short. Many are unsatisfactory because they have a buildup, then scramble to an end, and that's it. I thought there ought to be more than that. But it is hard to sustain tension and fear over a longer book. You can't just have somebody being terrified every chapter. I made a list of the essential ingredients, beginning with a ghost. I remember writing down 'weather': I loved reading ghost stories that began in foggy conditions. The setting then had to be isolated, a place where nobody would talk about this thing – a conspiracy of silence. I always write by hand. The medical student said: 'My sister's doing a typing course and is looking for things to type.' I sent her the first few chapters but she came back saying her sister couldn't read my handwriting. She suggested a Dictaphone so I bought a cheapo recorder and read into that. Then she came back and said: 'My sister says it's going to be a bit slow because she is too frightened to do it when she is alone in the house.' That sister was Jane Tranter, who went on to be controller of drama commissioning at the BBC. She still remembers it. She said: 'I could not listen to it because your voice got very sinister when it was reading certain bits.' The book was published in 1983 and the play opened four years later in Scarborough, where I was born and brought up. The adaptation complemented the book: in a small theatre, it's like you are the reader alone in the house. I've occasionally sat at the back of the theatre at a matinee and watched these inner-London boys of 16 with a look on their faces that says: 'Go on then – frighten me.' It takes about 10 minutes and then they all start clutching each other. They change completely. In the late summer of 1987, I was working at the Stephen Joseph theatre in Scarborough while Alan Ayckbourn was away at the National. I got to the end of my second year and found I had £5,000 of the budget left. I thought I'd do an extra show over Christmas and figured a ghost story might be a good idea. We had enough money for four actors and we could do it in the bar, where you can get 70 seats Mallatratt, the resident playwright, wasn't terribly impressed by my idea but he came back a few days later and said: 'Have you read The Woman in Black?' I'm a wimp as far as horror is concerned, but this was a human story about a woman who was forced to give up her baby. I was blown away by it, but it had 15 characters. 'You haven't been listening, Stephen!' I told him. He said: 'I've had an idea about that. I might even be able to give you some change.' He proceeded to write an adaptation for three actors: Jon Strickland, Dominic Letts and Lesley Meade. The designer, Michael Holt, came up with the idea of using gauze: if you light it from one side you can't see through it, but from the other, it's transparent. It gave us one of the first rough-magic tools. It's embarrassingly simple. You can do an extraordinary amount with very little. I commandeered the bar's kitchens for my five Revox reel-to-reel tape machines, so we could do the sound without hearing 'clunk, click'. We sold out almost immediately. I put in extra midnight performances and there was quite a buzz about it. It's rare to really frighten a theatre audience, so it surprised us in Scarborough when people said: 'I didn't sleep for three nights after seeing your show.' A year to the day after opening in Scarborough, we had the read-through for the first London production, which opened at the Lyric Hammersmith in January 1989. Had I had a decent budget, instead of mopping up £5,000's worth of local authority grant, I could have done a super production, but it wouldn't have engaged the imagination and wouldn't have run at the Fortune theatre in London for 33 years. Since then, it has starred actors including Frank Finlay, Edward Petherbridge, Joseph Fiennes and Martin Freeman and I've seen tough rugby-playing men cowering amid the screams in the auditorium. The Woman in Black is touring from 24 September to 18 April, beginning at Storyhouse, Chester

Gregg Wallace, 60, bizarrely does squats outside the gym as he continues to plug his personal training business - after hitting out at backlash over his autism charity appointment
Gregg Wallace bizarrely engaged in some early morning squats outside the gym on Monday amid his continued promotion of his personal training business following his MasterChef sacking. The presenter, 60, was recently dismissed from the cooking show after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation. And following his admission that his TV career is now 'done', Gregg proved to be his own best advert as he showcased his fitness skills at 5.50am. Donning a black zip-up sweater, black shorts and white trainers, Gregg looked on fine form as he warmed up by his car ahead of heading into his own training session. He later took to his Instagram stories to share a video of himself doing more squats, with the former greengrocer demonstrating his strength by clutching a heavy dumbbell as well. In recent days, Gregg has continued to promote his healthy eating website Gregg and his personal training services after previously admitting he's 'done' with TV amid his sacking. On Monday morning, he also posted a clip of himself drumming up business for his services, with Gregg offering '1 to 1 coaching' for '£200 a month.' Meanwhile, Gregg also shared a response from a Welfare Rights Adviser defending him after she'd reached out to him to see if the Disability Advice and Welfare Network (DAWN) could help him better understand his autism. Gregg had been criticised by disability charities after blaming his inappropriate behaviour on his autism. While Gregg also blamed the BBC for not providing enough support for him amid his condition during his 20 years working for the corporation. Several organisations have rejected claims that the former BBC presenter's misconduct, which included an allegation that he exposed himself while not wearing any underwear, was partly due to his condition. Supporters of the 60-year-old said his autism caused an 'inability to wear underwear because of his autistic hypersensitivity to labels and tight clothing' and also meant he had an 'oddity of filters and boundaries', The Times reported. Taking to his Instagram on Sunday, Gregg shared a message from charity boss Annie Sands, in which she hit back at criticism her organisation had faced for supporting Gregg. She wrote: 'We understand that recent discussions involving DAWN and Gregg Wallace have sparked public interest. However, many of the criticisms directed at us are based on assumptions rather than facts. Those commenting are not privy to the full context of our engagement with Gregg or the broader work we do. Following his admission that his TV career is now 'done', Gregg proved to be his own best advert as he showcased his fitness skills at 5.50am Donning a black zip-up sweater, black shorts and white trainers, Gregg looked on fine form as he warmed up by his car ahead of heading into his own training session He later took to his Instagram stories to share a video of himself doing more squats, with the former greengrocer demonstrating his strength by clutching a heavy dumbbell as well On Monday morning, he also posted a clip of himself drumming up business for his services, with Gregg offering '1 to 1 coaching' for '£200 a month' 'DAWN exists to support neurodiverse individuals, and we do so without prejudice or selective advocacy. Gregg Wallace, like many others we support, has found our guidance valuable-especially as a parent of an autistic child. Our role has been to help him better understand the implications of his diagnosis and how it affects communication and perception. 'People should never feel afraid to disclose their autism diagnosis. Doing so opens the door to reasonable adjustments in the workplace and other settings, which are essential for inclusion. Refusing support based on circumstance would be discriminatory and contrary to our values. @greggawallace.' Though Gregg didn't write a caption alongside Annie's message. the post was still met with a plethora of comments supporting him. Gregg previously insisted he is 'not trying to play the victim' and claimed his autism diagnosis was partly responsible for some of his alleged behaviour as it means he struggles 'to read people' and can be perceived as 'odd' at times. He also again defended allegations - which he claims have been 'sexualised' - that he would not wear underwear while working on the cooking show, saying it was due to his 'hypersensitivity' as a result of the condition. Gregg stepped down from the hit BBC cooking show after complaints were made about his behaviour and following a report into his conduct, in which 45 of 83 complaints were upheld. In total, 41 people complained. The review concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour'. It added that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated', with 'one incident of unwelcome physical contact' also substantiated. The ex Eat Well for Less? presenter told the Sun that while he didn't deny being guilty of some of the claims, he believed things had been 'perceived incorrectly'. Gregg claimed that he had worked with around 4,000 people, meaning that just 0.5% of those he has worked with 'found fault with me'. He said his actions were the result of learned behaviour and workplace culture and claimed that his recent autism diagnosis also played a role. 'I know I am odd. I know I struggle to read people. I know people find me weird. Autism is a disability, a registered disability,' he said. Gregg has previously said he felt the BBC failed to provide enough support for his condition during his 20 years working on MasterChef. 'My neurodiversity, now formally diagnosed as autism, was suspected and discussed by colleagues across countless seasons of MasterChef,' he said. 'Yet nothing was done to investigate my disability or protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment for over 20 years.'
