These days not as many children follow in their father's footsteps as they used to, but when your dad has had one of the most lucrative Hollywood careers in history, it is hard to find any job that will beat it.
On Tuesday it was revealed that Lily-Rose Depp has done exactly that, landing a starring role playing opposite her father Johnny Depp.
While the actor has largely kept his 15-year-olds daughter out of the public eye, the budding actress is now set on stardom.

And she is not the only celebrity spawn to be starring in the so-called 'comic book movie'.
Kevin, who is most well-known for his iconic Nineties slacker movies including Clerks and Mallrats, has cast his own daughter, Harley Quinn Smith, also 15, will play Lily-Rose's co-lead.
The two teenagers are reportedly friends from school and on-screen will play Canadian yoga enthusiasts who work together in an after-school job at a convenience store and are both called Colleen.
According to THR: 'When an ancient evil rises from beneath Canada's crust and threatens their big invitation to a Grade 12 party, the Colleens join forces with a legendary man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe [Johnny Depp] to fight for their lives.'
This is not Lily-Rose's first onscreen appearance, she along with Harley, had cameos in Kevin's previous film Tusks, and their characters are spin-offs from that.
Johnny also had a brief appearance in the film which stars Justin Long and premieres next month at the Toronto Film Festival.
Speaking of the film he has written for his daughter and friend Johnny's daughter, Kevin said: 'People always ask me ''Are you ever going to make a comic book movie?''
'This is it - but instead of yet another dude saving the day, our antiheroes are the most feared and formidable creatures man has ever encountered: two 15-year-old girls.'
Yoga Hosers is set to start filming this week and is likely to be released in June 2015.
