The Children of Famous Celebrities: Where Are They Now?

Tom Hanks' son: Colin Hanks

Colin Hanks should thank his lucky stars for getting his father’s acting genes. His famous dad is Oscar award winner Tom, and her mother is actress Samantha Lewes. Even without the help of his father, though his last name certainly helped, Colin has appeared in a slew of roles since 1996.

His first television debut was on the sci-fi series, "Roswell." Looking a tad similar to his dad, Colin is not just into acting. He directed "All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records" back in 2015. He also did voice acting in the animated series, "PAW Patrol."

Meryl Streep’s daughter: Mamie Gummer

Mamie Gummer has some big shoes to fill. She is the daughter of multi-award-winning actress Meryl Streep. Her father is Don Gummer. It makes sense that she uses her father’s last name as the pressure of being Streep could be immense. Similar to other celebrity kids, Mamie appeared alongside her actress mother in the 1986 movie, "Heartburn."

She once again appeared on-screen with her mother in the 2015 movie "Ricki and the Flash." Besides movies, Gummer has also appeared on television via the series "The Good Wife," "The Collection," and "Emily Owens M.D." Though once married to actor Benjamin Walker, Gummer is now amicably separated.
