FORTUNATE SON

THE ACTOR IS STEPPING OUT OF HIS FAMOUS FATHER'S SHADOW WITH A VERY SPECIAL WOMAN ON HIS ARM

- Penelope Clifton

He's flown somewhat under the radar in his almost decade in the business, especially for the son of an A-list actor, but that looks like it's all about to change for Lewis Pullman.

Proving himself to be one to watch in Hollywood, the 32-year-old stepped out of the shadows earlier this year in Marvel blockbuster Thunderbolts*, and has also bagged himself his very own leading lady in model-turned-actress Kaia Gerber, 24.

Like her, the rising star is a “nepo” baby - but don't be fooled into thinking his bulging résumé landed in his lap courtesy of his dad, Bill Pullman, 71. While his first ever film role was opposite the veteran actor in 2017's The Ballad of Lefty Brown, since then, Pullman has spent much of his career trying to distance himself from his famous father, only to have an epiphany recently.
