True talent is hereditary, and famous celebrity kids are proof of that. After growing up with talented and famous parents, some of their children go on to become stars in their own right. While some might follow directly behind mom and dad's footsteps, others create their own paths and make a name for themselves in the field of their choice.
It goes without saying that being born into a famous family already opens doors and grants them opportunities they wouldn't have had otherwise. But some celeb kids really give their all to their craft and become successful by themselves. Will Smith and his children, Jaden and Willow, are perfect examples of kids who have pursued the same career as their parents and have broken away from being known as just the Smith kids.
