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
Nepo baby Hannah Einbinder has opened up on Thursday about what her famous parents really think of her following in their footsteps. 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."' Her Hollywood star parents Laraine Newman, 73, who was an original cast member of Saturday Night Live, and Chad Einbinder, 62, welcomed Hannah in 1995 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. 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 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.
