A NEPO baby actor attended a glitzy red carpet event alongside his A-lister mum, but can you guess who she is?
The world-famous actress attended the London premiere of Christmas drama Goodbye June on Wednesday night, and with good reason.
Her son, 21, wrote the screenplay for the upcoming Netflix release, which is essentially a family-made project as it was directed by his Oscar-winning mummy.
The actor posed for cameras as he attended the film‘s world launch at The Curzon in Mayfair, central London – joined by his superstar mum – who made her directorial debut in the film.
The budding star, who also has a very famous dad, was born in New York back in 2003 to celeb British parents, and was raised between the States and the UK.
His mum and dad, who got married the same year, before they split in 2011, after eight years together.

The actor has since returned to the UK, after permanently relocating with his mum and half-sister to avoid paps in New York – with the family residing in West Wittering, Sussex.
He followed in his mum’s footsteps by pursing a career in acting, and made his on-screen debut in Oscar-winning British war drama 1917 back in 2019, which was directed by his dad.
He then went on to appear in Channel 4‘s female-led drama series I Am Ruth back in 2022, and picked up a role in biographical war drama Lee in 2023.
His first lead role also came in 2023, as he played George Bobbin in the coming-of-age rom-com musical Bonus Track.
And now, he’s sharing a significant career milestone with his mum, as the pair worked on a new project together.
Joe Anders is the son of Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes, who were once a film industry power couple.
But award-winning actress Kate, 50, claimed her credits on the film from behind the camera for once, rather than in front of it.
She attended the red carpet of Netflix’s Goodbye June with her son Joe, as it marked her first ever time in the directors chair.
It was also a significant step-up in Joe’s career, as the actor wrote the screenplay for the film.
He may have also picked up some skills from his filmmaker dad Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar on his directorial debut for 1999 blockbuster American Beauty.
Joe opted for a classic black two-piece suit look with a white shirt, while Kate kept it simple with a floor-length black shoulder-less dress.
They appeared together on the carpet ahead of the movie’s release next Friday.
The film is described as a family drama centred on “fractured siblings who must come together under sudden and trying circumstances”.
The film’s star-studded cast includes Andrea Riseborough, Toni Collette and Timothy Spall, who also appeared on the red carpet.
The festive drama will be released on Friday, December 12 on Netflix, just in time for the Christmas holidays.
