From Brooklyn Beckham and rapper Jaden Smith to models Kaia Jordan Gerber and Hailey Bieber, there's shortage of nepo babies following in the footsteps of their famous parents by pursuing stardom.
But not all celeb offspring looked to benefit from their parents' success.
In fact, a few have chosen to carve out careers for themselves.
Often this requires spending years  at university (although they may be less worried about tuition fees than the average student) or taking up relatively unglamorous work away from the limelight. 
These celebrity children include Ben Ford, 55 - son of actor Harrison - who works as a chef, and  Jack Dafoe, 41 - son of actor Willem Dafoe - who works as an environmentalist.
Here FEMAIL brings you the best of those who choose to shun the celebrity lifestyle and pursue very un-starry careers. 
Bo Johnson, 22
Daughter of Ulrika Jonsson
Job: Nanny

She trained at the prestigious Norland College
A household name, Swedish-born Ulrika Jonsson, 55, rose to fame in the early 90s as a weather presenter before moving on to front the hit show Gladiators on ITV. 
Yet her 22-year daughter, Bo, seems to have shunned this exciting life - to be a reliable nanny for the rich and famous.    

And she said she had wanted to work with children from a young age. 
The training costs £36,000 in total and includes martial arts training and stunt driving to its curriculum to cater for modern clients - many of whom are celebrities and the super-rich.
Bo is the much loved daughter of the Swedish TV personality, and often posts about her life on Instagram
And - like her mother - she often shares snippets of her schooling on Instagram - including her training in sewing and cooking, as well as placements caring for children as young as five weeks.
She delights her followers with images of her completed assessments, including one of a 'fabric friend' she created from up-cycled materials and embroidery.
Sharing a snap of the cat-like cushion, Bo wrote: 'I really enjoyed making this and challenging my sewing skills.' 
Bo - Ulrika's second child - was born in 2000 with a congenital heart defect. Her father is German hotel boss Markus Kempen.
Ulrika has previously revealed how Markus wanted them to have a child together. 
But he then walked out on them following a life-saving heart operation that Bo underwent as a baby.
Writing in  in 2021, Bo revealed that she had not met her father - although he had contacted her to in adulthood to try and get in touch. 
She also revealed she often felt 'left out' because of her father's absence but admits that when her mother tried to show her pictures of him, she felt nothing, as if she was showing her a 'stranger'. 
It wasn't until Ulrika married Brian Monet that Bo felt a true father figure in her life - and asked that he adopt her. 
She later took his surname and is now known as Bo Jonsson Monet. 
Rory Taylor, 35
Daughter of Roger Taylor 
Job: GP 
The GP was featured in Queen's music video You Are The Champions which they made to thank NHS stuff during Covid

Roger Taylor, 73, is lauded as one of the biggest musicians in the world - famous for being the drummer of the rock band Queen. 
He also co-wrote three UK number ones - These Are the Days of Our Lives, Innuendo and Under Pressure, as well as five other major hits, such as Radio Ga Ga and A Kind of Magic.
Yet his daughter, Rory, 33, has a completely different life, working for the NHS as a west London GP. 
Rory has a Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and actively encourages people to check their boobs so they can be proactive about early signs of cancer through her work with CoppaFeel. 
She's one of the breast cancer charity's Medical Advisory Group members and has complteted a 60 mile, five-day trek across the Sahara to raise funds in November last year.
