Nepo baby actress destined for the limelight as Hollywood star mum shares proud on-set post - but can you guess who it is?
She could be the next nepo baby set for the limelight, following in her famous mum's footsteps. The young starlet comes from the Hollywood stock with her mother best known for her roles in Freaks and Geeks and Dawson's Creek. Most recently, her mother has starred in the hit Netflix show Girls5Eva, which follows a 90s girl band who get a second chance at fame after their one-hit-wonder is sampled decades later. Now, the Hollywood star's offspring has stepped behind the screen herself to act alongside her mother in Horrified, a new indie horror film from Mike Zara. The mother shared a proud clip of her daughter filming on set, which she captioned: 'Apparently I've now completed the transformation into what is probably my truest form: STAGE MOTHER✨☠️ thank you to my dear friend @zarastoriez & @horrifiedmovie for helping me to achieve this eventuality, featuring @whosalexanyway ❤️.' But can YOU guess who the nepo baby, and her famous mother, really are? It's none other than White Chicks star Busy Philipps, 46, and her daughter Birdy Leigh Silverstein, 16. The pair will star together in the upcoming film Horrified, on which Busy is also an executive producer and is due to shoot this summer. Tom Cruise's ex-wife Katie Holmes - who starred alongside Busy in Dawson's Creek - shared a rare social media comment to mark Birdy's first gig, writing: 'Amazing! Congratulations!!!!!!!' The White Chicks star shares Birdie with with ex-husband, screenwriter Marc Silverstein and they also have a 10-year-old daughter Cricket. The exes still live together so they can share parenting duties. Staying candid about how she worked through it all, the Freaks And Geeks star added: 'It's a constant process. Parenting is constantly learning, and I think one thing that I try to return to is that I'm not going to nail it every time.' 'Birdie's such a strong individual,' she added of the teen. 'She's such a smart, unique person that I feel really confident in her ability to succeed in whatever situation she's in,' she added. Explaining that she knew her daughter wouldn't stay at boarding school if she felt like it wasn't a good fit, Busy added, 'If it turns out this is not the situation for her, and I'm not saying that will be the case, so be it.' In spite of the fact that the two are no longer a couple, the Girls5Eva starlet had nothing but kind words to say about Marc's parenting skills, particularly with Birdie's impending move. While she was initially gung-ho against the idea of her eldest daughter going to boarding school, Marc had a more 'thoughtful' response to Birdie's wishes. 'He was like, 'Listen, why don't we hear this kid out? Why don't we see it through and go look at the school, talk to them and see where it takes us?'' the blonde television star recounted of her supportive ex. Ultimately, Busy told the outlet that the plan is to have Birdie spend all four years of high school at boarding school, but the Cougar Town star made sure to note, 'I'm also open to this if it's just a year. That would be an amazing experience for her to have either way.' In spite of her normal misgivings as a parent letting go of a child for the first time, Busy realised that the pandemic had been challenging on both Birdie and Cricket. 'These kids have been through a really intense few years with the pandemic and essentially being stuck in the house with their parents,' she joked. So, the ER actress concluded, 'Maybe it's not a bad thing for Birdie to go live with some other kids and have that socialisation that maybe was missed out on a bit during the pandemic.' Reflecting that she hasn't always been the epitome of parental perfection, the Love, Inc star said, 'I have a tendency to be really hard on myself, so continually reminding myself, that no one's a perfect parent and no one wants you to be a perfect parent.' Wisely, Busy assessed that, 'I think kids would be really boring if they all had perfect parents.' In 2022, Busy publicly revealed her 14 year marriage to Marc was over on her podcast Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best. She said at the time: 'It's been a really long time that Marc and I have been separated and our kids know, our families know, our friends know.' The couple first separated in February 2021 and had been contemplating how to announce the break-up. She added: 'Marc and I talked about it, and when we first separated, we couldn't even think about putting one of those statements out – it made us sick, both of us, truly ill. It's a journey. 'The surest way that Marc and I have been able to ensure the privacy of our kids that we love so f****** much was by not involving the public.' The pair were married in June 2007 in a ceremony that surprised their friends and family.
