10 Times Actors Appeared Alongside Their Kids In The Movies But We Even Didn’t Notice It

For some of us, working with our parents sounds like a weird idea. But what if you come from a famous acting family? Many actors have starred with their children in some projects and these kids often make cameo roles. The kid may also appear as either a younger version of the parent or as the parent’s child in the movies. There is a strong resemblance between them so the movie is more fantastic.
There are some Hollywood stars that shared screen time with their children. For instance, Demi Moore made the controversial decision to go for her real-life kid, Rumer Willis to play her daughter in the drama Striptease or, Eugene Levy teamed up with his son, Dan Levy, to star in the popular Canadian sitcom Schitt's Creek.
Here are 10 actors and actresses who played with their kids in the same movie that we even didn’t notice it.

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, Angelina Jolie’s daughter, played young Princess Aurora. In an interview, Jolie explained that the five-year-old only got the part and Vivienne was the only child who wasn't terrified of Jolie in her getup. She said “But the other three- and four-year-old [performers] wouldn’t come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn’t afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.”
