Celebrities Who Have Famous Parents: A Look at Current Famous Teens and Tweens with Famous Fathers

Parents can pass many things along to their children. Aside from eyes, ears and toes children can also get talent passed down to them from mom and dad. Through the years, many famous actors and singers have bred famous children. Today, a new generation of stars are taking after their parents.

Here is a look at some current Hollywood hotshots who were born to famous parents.

Miley Cyrus, daughter of country singer and actor Billy Ray Cyrus

Before Destiny Hope "Mylie" Cyrus was even born, her father Billy Ray was tearing up the country airwaves with hits like "Achy Breaky Heart" and "In the Heart of a Woman". While it seemed to take her father many years to gain radio and acting success, Mylie Cyrus's career seemed to skyrocket, of course thanks to her father's genes. In fact, from conception Billy Ray and wife Leticia knew their daughter would be destined for great things, hence their choice of names. As a baby, Destiny Hope always smiled, so Billy Ray nicknamed her "Smiley," which in baby talk transformed into Miley.

The younger Cyrus took an interest to acting when she appeared in one episode of her father's show, Doc. She is now the star of one of the Disney Channel's biggest televisions and merchandising successes, Hannah Montana, where she portrays Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana also stars Billy Ray Cyrus, who plays her father. Miley Cyrus performs all of the music of her onscreen persona both on the show, and in person at concerts where she is in character. Remarkably, she wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on her albums.

Miley Cyrus also appeared in Big Fish as the young Ruthie, and is set to play opposite Raven Symone in a remake of the 80s hit Adventures in Babysitting.
