It comes as no surprise that well-known personalities don’t want their children to know of their fame at a young age because of how it may affect their outlook. Here are how some celebrities told their child about their popularity.

AUDREY HEPBURN

It wasn’t until he was six years old that Luca Dotti came to know that his mother was a movie star. “To me, my mother was Audrey Dotti,” he said. “I never realized she was Audrey Hepburn.”

When the press would ask Luca, then five or six, about Hepburn, he would shrug questions off thinking they were mistaken.

The fashion icon’s son recalled his mother as a “simple” woman who liked staying at home and having tomato pasta.

HILARY DUFF

Hilary Duff’s five-year-old son, Luca, only learned of his mom’s real name after a schoolmate revealed it to him.

However, the former Disney star’s toddler has seen her on the cover of magazines but thinks his friend’s mom would probably be next on the front page.
