The children of Meg Ryan, Meryl Streep, John Lennon and Dennis Quaid follow in their parents' footsteps on the Oscars red carpet

To the rhythm of 'Show Must Go On' Hollywood welcomes a new generation of actors and actresses: the children of movie stars. For years now, the film industry has witnessed family dynasties where talent is passed down from father to son.

At the 96th Academy Awards, the presence of established figures and emerging promises stood out, including Jack Quaid, son of renowned actors Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, who shone in the 1990s.

The only son of the legendary Beatle John Lennon and Yoko Ono, has made his entrance at the prestigious film gala. The musician arrived at the doors of the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles accompanied by his partner, Charlotte Kemp Muhl.

Lennon won the statuette as executive director for the animated short film "War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John

On the other hand, Jack Quaid has continued his parents' legacy in the film industry and is earning a place among young acting talents.

The Californian made his debut in 2012 in "The Hunger Games", followed by his role in the series "The Boys", but his stardom came with his interpretation of the physicist Richard Feynman in "Oppenheimer", the film that is up for 13 awards Oscar.

Grace Gummer also shined on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. The daughter of the iconic actress Meryl Streep and Don Gummer, who announced their divorce in 2023 after decades together, arrived accompanied by her partner, DJ, composer and producer Mark Ronson.

The composer is one of those in charge of one of the most anticipated numbers of the night, in which he will perform with Ryan Gosling the song "I'm Just Ken", composed by Ronson for the movie Barbie.
