She refutes the view that the children of the stars are somehow different from other children. As a child, she felt how her famous surname literally choked her. The girl said that as a child she did not know that her father was so popular. She only saw how he sometimes gave autographs. She was never particularly drawn to the stage, but she decided to try anyway and entered acting after school, without telling anyone.
