Since Amanda Seyfried and her husband Thomas Sadoski are both actors, it seems arguably inevitable that one of their kids would eventually become Hollywood's latest nepo-baby.

Though the couple's kids are only six (Nina) and two and a half (Thomas), the The Dropout actress is already convinced that her first and only daughter will eventually follow in her parents' footsteps.

While Amanda and the Newsroom actor, who have been married since 2017, have tried their best to keep their kids out of the spotlight – they live in a farm in upstate New York and their kids are rarely seen out in public – the Golden Globe winner is not sure how long that will last.

Describing her as a "natural-born actor," Amanda has begun to notice the pride the six-year-old already feels when she sees her mom on TV, and teased: "She's not working, but I know in my bones that this is what she is. She's a performer. Will she do it as a career? Who knows?"
