Family ties! Actress Laura Dern is spilling the tea on her incredible experience working with her legendary dad, Bruce Dern, in the new Apple TV+ drama “Palm Royale.” This is heartwarming news for fans who love seeing Hollywood royalty share the screen!
Dern, known for hits like “Big Little Lies” and “Jurassic Park,” opened up on the “UnWrapped” podcast with her producing partner Jayme Lemons. She revealed that sharing scenes with her father was an absolute dream come true!
But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Laura admitted she initially hesitated to ask her dad to join the show. She worried he might feel pressured and wanted to be protective of him. We love a supportive daughter!
Thankfully, Laura’s fellow producers convinced her to go for it. And let’s just say, it was a decision she won’t regret! “That was definitely one of the great moments of my life,” Laura gushed. “Looking in his eyes and being on a set with him.” Can you imagine sharing such a special moment with your parent?
In “Palm Royale,” things get interesting. Laura’s character, Linda Shaw, grapples with the weight of her famous family name and even considers changing it. Talk about ironic!
In real life, Laura embraces the Dern legacy. Unlike some “nepo babies” in Hollywood, Laura has never considered changing her name. “I feel incredible pride about being the daughter of my parents, their work ethic, their commitment to their craft,” she said. Love that!
