Should've included Robert Downey Jr since he's probably one of the best known actors for quite a while now and you definitely don't think about his father when you here the name Downey

*More, Watchmojo.

You're missing *MORE* in your title.

[poweroffriendship.]

*Number 1:* Phineas & Ferb

_Before the two stepbrothers became famous than their parents, Linda is a famous singer._

I love how they all capped the “MORE” when they realized they forgot to type it XD

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Miley might be more popular than Billy but Old Town Road, which Billy was only featured in, is better than any of the songs she released.

We can probably say Zoe's passed her mom (Lisa Bonet) though

Emma Roberts is has not passed her father. Being more relevant NOW is not the same. Her resume is a blip next to her dad's

No Jamie Lee Curtis? Both her parents were icons of the 50s and 60s- Janet leigh and Tony Curtis but Jamie Lee has definitely surpassed them in "fame"

10. I don't know him or his father.
9. Don't know him either.
8. I know Julia better 🤷
7. Oh yeah 😂😂 Seinfeld
6. Oh yeah her 😒
5. He has famous parents ? 😨
4. *Damn* for real ?
3. *No surprise* His Dad was a one hit wonder but he blew up years later.
2. *Really ?*
1. Only knew Angelina 🤷

This is a video that’s gonna need another list down the road. One I thought of was Jeff Bridges. Then there’s Michael Douglas (maybe), Mariska Hargatay,

[t.casey]

Remember when it didn't say "MORE", good days

[thegameplayer]

and for miley cyrus we can also add that she is the reason that billy ray actually had a resurgence in popularity since before her rise to stardom billy ray was a forgotten name but the more miley cyrus grew in success the more his stardom came back. i am not much of a fan of miley but she is a big reason billy ray has returned to stardom

[notoriouspug]

Keep doin what y’all are doin great job watch mojo

[MrLachyG]

This is what happens when you type titles at 3am. Get your shit together WatchMojo

[mboettcher]

It is absolutely ridiculous that you put Angelina Jolie at number 1. I've never even heard of Jennifer Aniston's dad. Jon Voight is an academy award winning actor.

[ciaranmcloughlin]

I thought Robert Downey Jr. would be on this list. He's much more well known than Robert Downey Sr.
