His dad is considered to be one of the greatest living actors.
His now-retired famous father has won three Oscars and has starred in nearly 80 projects throughout his career which spanned over 50 years.
The father and son duo have been seen bonding courtside for Los Angeles Lakers basketball games for years together.
As if having a famous father isn’t already high profile enough, he is currently dating one of the most famous supermodels in the world.
Can you guess the nepo baby?

It’s Ray Nicholson, son of Jack Nicholson!
The 32-year-old actor looked dapper at the Smile 2 premiere in Los Angeles on Monday night.
At the premiere the rising actor admitted he’s ‘very different’ to his 87-year-old dad Jack Nicholson.
The Smile 2 actor has been compared to his famous father with fans likening his grin on the movie’s poster to his dad’s smile in 1980 classic The Shining, and while the son has been constantly inspired by him, they’re not completely alike.
He told Deadline: ‘We’re very different people. I was born in 1992, he was born in 1937. The things that affect me don’t necessarily affect him.
‘Obviously, I love him. He’s my inspiration. I ate dinner with him every night.
‘I studied it, that’s how I learned to be a human being. So, of course we’re gonna be kind of similar.’
However, the Promising Young Woman star doesn’t necessarily go to the One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest icon for film advice.

Jack and Ray are seen in May 2023 as the son admitted he’s ‘very different’ to his 87-year-old dad at the premiere
He explained: ‘As far as talking about it, if he ever did tell me something, I probably wouldn’t investigate it for myself because I’d be like, ‘You’re the best, of course, that’s right,’ and it might not work for me.
‘I love him. He’s also my hero. I’m the luckiest kid in the world.’
After first experiencing acting in the mid-2000s with a small role in The Benchwarmers, Ray has built up a steady reputation over the last few years.
After appearing in The Outsider and Where Are You, he made an impression in 2021 as Ray in Licorice Pizza, and the following year he appeared in a supporting role opposite Zoe Deutch in Something From Tiffany’s.
Last year, he starred with Camila Morrone, Willem Dafoe and Patricia Arquette in the latter’s drama Gonzo Girl.
This year alone, he is set to star in Borderline and Smile 2, with Novocaine to follow in 2025.
Ray has also had a very active personal life as he is currently dating 33-year-old Portuguese supermodel Sara Sampaio.
In March, the power couple took their relationship to new heights when they made their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.

She has been dating Ray — who is the spitting image of his superstar father Jack Nicholson, 86 — since the summer of 2023, but they saved their major debut as a couple for Hollywood’s biggest night.
The couple oozed affection as they embraced in front of the camera at the high-profile celebrity event.
Sara and Ray have kept their relationship relatively under the radar, and they were last pictured together on a shopping trip in Beverly Hills in December.
She was previously linked to the literary manager Zac Frognowski, but their last red carpet appearance was early in 2023.
While Ray had been previously seen on a date with Delilah Hamlin in 2022.
