As a child, I was fascinated by clowns...' Liev Schreiber reveals inspiration for acting career
Liev Schreiber was inspired to become an actor by his passion for clowns and the circus as a child. The 57-year-old star has revealed he was always intrigued by clowns from his trips to the circus with his grandfather Alex Milgram - his mother Heather Milgram's father - and the first seeds of his career were shown when he wanted to entertain his family. In an interview with Italian publication IO Donna, he said: "As a child, I was fascinated by clowns and enjoyed entertaining my family . My mother was a bit of a hippie; she placed more importance on art than money: she was a taxi driver, and as soon as she had some, she'd spend it on taking us to the movies or the theatre." Liev insists his grandfather Alex - who emigrated to America from Ukraine and played the cello - was more of an influence and inspiration for him to go into acting than his dad, Tell Schreiber, who was an actor and theatre director. When asked what influence Tell had on him, Liev said: "Perhaps I was more inspired by the circus, where my grandfather took me. "At the exit, they sold little swords for children, and I remember playing with them in front of Madison Square Garden, thinking about The Legend of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. My parents separated when I was four, and I grew up mostly with my mother, who was a bit of a hippie socialist who even lived in squats; artistic education was more important than anything else. We went to a movie theatre on Eighth Street where they showed old black-and-white films, but I think I appreciated them more as I grew older." Liev - who has vivid memories of watching films starring Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers with his mother - is dad to 23-month-old daughter Hazel, his child with wife Taylor Neisen. The Ray Donovan star is enjoying being a father in his 50s and says children give you a solid grounding when you work in Hollywood. Liev - who has two teenage children from his relationship with British actress Naomi Watts - said: "I could have had a more relaxed life, but with a small child, you have to provide stability, respect sleep and meal times. "Children keep you grounded. When I had my first two, who are now 17 and 18, it was a strange time: my ex and I were the centre of attention, and success can make you lose your sense of reality. Children bring you back to what's truly important."

Meet The New Wave of Celebrity Offspring Taking Over Fashion Week in 2025
The fashion industry loves a famous name. Fresh crops of celebrity kids-turned-runway-habitués spring up in tandem with the fashion seasons, some lucky enough to have more staying power than others. Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, Lila Moss, and the Kardashian-Jenners have now become household names, with social media accounts and booming businesses that amass millions of followers and dollars (in Bieber's case, billions). Unsurprisingly, hot off the heels of the latest round of menswear and couture shows, there is a new generation of celebrity offspring to get acquainted with. Kai Schreiber, the 16-year-old model-actress and daughter of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, stomped onto the fashion scene last March, walking the Valentino show in Paris. Shortly after that, she signed with IMG and scored a campaign for the Alessandro Michele-helmed French house alongside another rising star, Scarlett White (daughter of Karen Elson and Jack White). Just over a week ago, the leggy blonde with an affinity for pairing Adidas pants with Margiela Tabi boots proved she was more than a one-season wonder, spotted both on the runway at Michael Rider's Celine debut and front row at Demna's swan-song Balenciaga couture show alongside her mother just a few days later. It's safe to say that this is just the beginning of Schreiber's fashion industry takeover, with high expectations that she will be all over the runways (and campaigns) come September. However, Schreiber is certainly not the only new girl in town worth noting. Romy Mars, the 18-year-old actress, singer, and daughter of filmmaker Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars, has been making waves while garnering thousands of views on TikTok since 2023. Her most viral moment was the result of her being grounded for trying to charter a helicopter using her rock star dad's credit card. Famous kids, they're just like us. Except not. Coppola has been known to keep Mars and her younger sister Cosima, 15, out of the public eye, apart from Romy's appearance in her grandfather Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis in 2024 and the release of her 'A-Lister' song and music video this past May (yes, Mom directed the project). But the three women embraced the spotlight together last week at the Chanel couture show in Paris, donning matching pastel looks that were very much to be remembered. And of course, Mars documented the experience for her collective 500k-plus following on Instagram and TikTok. On the menswear scene, it's Lennon, 25, and Gene, 23, Gallagher, sons of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher (Lennon's mom is Patsy Kensit and Gene's is Nicole Appleton), who are on the style set's radar. It doesn't hurt that their father's band is currently having a reunion tour, the first after a 16-year hiatus—leading to a surge in press for all of the Gallagher kids. Last month, Lennon and Gene sat front row at Anthony Vaccarello's latest outing for Saint Laurent menswear. Gene is a newer face in comparison to Lennon, who made his modeling debut on the runway at Topman in 2017 before going on to work with Saint Laurent, Burberry, and most recently, Tod's. This past April saw the celebration of the Italian house's iconic Gommino loafer, with a campaign titled 'Italian Diaries' that was shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch at Villa Talamo in Tuscany. In front of the camera were five children of Hollywood's elite: Lennon Gallagher, actress and singer Ella Bleu Travolta, daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston; writer and director Stella Banderas, daughter of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith (which also makes her Dakota Johnson's half sister); model and artist Roberto Rossellini, son of Isabella Rossellini; and singer and actor Leo Gassmann, son of filmmaker Alessandro Gassmann. It's certainly not a new phenomenon, but a famous last name is still a hot ticket for teens and twentysomethings looking to break into the fashion industry. Front-row seats at runway shows and starring roles in seasonal campaigns seamlessly come along with the gig, often with no strings attached—apart from an Instagram story or TikTok video on their covetable platforms. But maintaining star power and expanding their reach to become the next founder of a brand like Rhode or the Fashion Awards Model of the Year is something that they will have to do on their own. After all, without the legacy, a name is simply a name.

"I'm going to put it to you like this: What if you were a professional actor, and your child decided they wanted to do something in this world?" Schreiber told TMZ in March. "Do they have a choice of what you did?" The actor said it "doesn't matter" what he does and that Kai should be able to do what she wants to do. "That's her life. She does what she wants with her life, and I'm super proud of her," he continued. "I thought she did an amazing job in the show." Read the original article on People

She's just like us! Naomi Watts suffers awkward wardrobe malfunction as she steps out in New York City
Naomi Watts ensured all eyes were on her on Thursday when she stepped out in New York City. The Brides of Christ star, 56, cut a casual figure in a white dress adorned with strawberries that featured a corseted bodice and spaghetti straps. But all eyes were on the blonde beauty's choice of footwear; a pair of slippery red slingbacks that failed to do their job. As Naomi strutted into her event, one of her ankles slipped out of the hazardous footwear, throwing her picture-perfect look a curveball. Ever the professional, Naomi took the fashion blunder in her stride, proving she really is just like us. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She added to her look on the day with retro-framed sunglasses and a fire-engine red handbag. Naomi's outing comes after she attended an Armani Beauty event with her daughter, Kai Schreiber. The King Kong actress and her model daughter, 16, who she shares with actor Liev Schreiber, were among the stars at Twenty Three Grand in New York City earlier this month. Naomi looked effortlessly chic as she donned a navy sparkly smock dress, featuring a boat neckline and draping fabric with stilettos. She was joined by her daughter Kai, who had her modelling debut at Paris Fashion Week for Valentino earlier this year. For the occasion, Kai wore a black high-neck sweater covered in multicoloured polka dots with a matching skirt. Naomi was seen helping her daughter with her make-up in sweet snaps from the event. Kai, who is transgender, recently spoke in-depth about how she had struggled 'with gender identity from a young age' and 'always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn ' Monroe. She told Interview Magazine she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past. The daughter of the Ray Donovan star, 57, and two-time Oscar nominee, 56, named figures she found inspirational 'as a young trans girl' navigating life through turbulent times for the community. 'I'm always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,' Kai told the magazine. 'People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,' Kai said. 'It's so great that there's a strong community of us in the fashion world; it's really a doll takeover.' The nepo baby said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino. 'That job made me realise, 'OK, this is what I want to do,' Kai said. ' I want to be a supermodel. Period.'
