Julian Lennon and John Lennon (main photo)
John Lennon's son, Julian, also became a musician. In addition, he is also a famous photographer. He says his happiest childhood memories with his father date back to the 1960s, when he was a little boy. They lived in Kenwood, Surrey (UK). He says: “I remember my father and I sitting on the roof of the house with a magnificent view and making a wooden airplane. My father was very happy with his family then.”
At that time, the Beatles released their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club. John Lennon had a Rolls Royce that little Julian adored because it had a record player in the back. His father also took him on motorcycle and bicycle rides when he went to visit Ringo Starr, who lived nearby. Julian says that he and his father were very close at that time.

Two sons, two wives
Sean and Julian are two sons that John Lennon had. In very typical rock star fashion, he fathered them with two different women at two different points in his life. Julian was the first-born, and Lennon separated from Julian's mother shortly after beginning his relationship with Yoko Ono. Yoko is the mother of Sean, Lennon's second son.
While Sean seemed to be the favorite child (he was a planned child and not born by accident like Julian), eldest son Julian was the one who replicated his father's success in terms of writing musical hits.

Although Julian always had a difficult relationship with his father, he still followed his example in the musical field. One of Julian's first records went platinum and gave him fame soon after the start of his career.
After divorce
When Julian's parents quarreled, it seemed to him that his dad had disappeared from the face of the earth. The boy was very angry with his father and for 10 years he practically did not speak to him. But the mother insisted that the father-son relationship continue. Julian eventually came to the US to visit John Lennon after his divorce, and to his relief, they got along again.
When Julian wanted to become a musician, he was afraid of not “meeting” the standards of his famous father, although John really wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. Unfortunately, John Lennon never saw his son begin to perform, because he died when Julian turned 17.
Not only music
Lately, however, Julian has been focusing on photography. With his empathetic approach to the world and self-reflection, Julian Lennon was tailor-made to become a photographer. His photography can be seen in several private collections as well as professional exhibitions in art galleries around the world. Seriously, this is a work worth seeing. His work is beautifully designed, printed and displayed in interesting settings.
Yes it's true. Apparently Julian Lennon was left out of John Lennon's will. This seriously affected him. Julian not only discovered that he would receive nothing, but he was not even offered anything from what was left in the Lennon estate. No personal items! He had to buy things and memorabilia at auction, which was probably the most traumatic situation we could think of after the death of a parent.

Brandon Jenner, son of Caitlyn Jenner
Brandon Jenner, a singer and musician, the son of the famous pop star Caitlyn Jenner, says that he had a difficult relationship with his mother and had little contact with his father, Bruce. Who then changed gender and became Caitlin. This process began when Brandon was 4 years old. His parents divorced for this reason, but the boy, of course, did not know about it.

But Brandon still remembers his father. When he was little, he loved to touch people's ears. His father, who had undergone plastic surgery, did not allow him to do this, but showed him the stitches, saying that it would hurt him. He also remembers his father jokingly wrestling him and his brother on the beach in Malibu, and how much fun it was. After all, being a man, Caitlin was a decathlete.
At first, after the divorce, Brandon's parents saw each other, but then their relationship became not very good. When his father decided to undergo multiple sex reassignment surgeries, Brandon saw his dad only a few times in 15 years. At the age of 20, he began to try to restore his relationship with his father. After much effort, he succeeded, and now he often calls his father, and he asks him: “How are you?”
Brandon also had a great relationship with David Foster, whom his mother married. And although he never called him dad, deep down he considered him just a wonderful father.

Unbreakable connection
Julian's feelings are only strong because of his family history. However, according to CBS, he loved his little brother: “I think the key to all of this for me, at least, was Sean. If I hurt Sean's mother, I would hurt my brother. It's a strange way to look at things, but because I love Sean so much, I just don't want to hurt him. I could survive it. I survived it." This concern for Sean makes their relationship strong. Julian has more of a connection with his brother than he does with John Lennon.
Despite their differences in upbringing, Julian inspires the two brothers. According to Sean, “Julian is the reason I started playing music. Because when I was a kid, when his first record hit the charts, that was the greatest achievement.”

Isabel Bridges Besh on Jeff Bridges
Isabelle, the daughter of the famous Hollywood actor and Oscar winner Jeff Bridges, remembers him this way: “In my dad’s family, my father, mother, brother were all actors. So he knew that an actor could be a good father."
When Isabelle was little, her father was at the height of his fame. Therefore, he often left for filming for several weeks, and Isabelle, along with her two sisters, remained under the supervision of her mother. But when Jeff was home, he became the best friend. Being a great actor, he was also a great playmate. He shared his thoughts and feelings with his daughters, and they loved to decorate him with flowers and even do his makeup. They drew and played together all day long. Sometimes he came home in actor's makeup, but the children were not afraid, but removed the fake blood from his face.
While on set, he called his daughters all the time and talked to them, joked, talked about his plans and future adventures, and asked what they were dreaming about.
When Isabelle grew up a little, she was not particularly interested in the films in which her father starred. When the cult film “The Big Lebowski” was released, she and her sisters were in Hawaii, and her father was wearing the famous flip-flops from the film. The girls didn't like it and ended up throwing the iconic shoe into the ocean.
Isabel lives in Auckland, but her father often visits her and loves his grandchildren, her two children, very much.
Zoe Jackson on Samuel L. Jackson
The daughter of actor Samuel LeRoy Jackson, Zoe, a director and producer, believes that her father in real life is completely different from his on-screen role. When she was 10 years old, she tried to climb into her father's box of comics, which she was not allowed to look at, considering them too violent for a child. It was only when she went to college that her father allowed her to read these comics. Since then, she has been sad about buying comics because she always misses her father.

Zoe also does not remember how her father tried to fight alcohol addiction - it was so lucky that Samuel hid it from the girl. But she recalls that when they moved to Los Angeles, her father’s career began to decline. And then her mother, Latani Richardson, did everything possible to ensure that her husband returned to his former glory. For this, she herself had to give up her acting career and start raising her daughter.
When Zoe was 12 years old, the film Pulp Fiction was released, after which Samuel became very cool. But only his daughter knows that he is actually a very shy and complex person.
Yoko Ono meets her daughter
Yoko Ono with children Kyoko and Sean
Then Yoko published a letter to Kyoko in the press:
Dear Kyoko, In all these years there has not been a single day that I have not missed you. You are always in my heart. However, I will not try to find you now, as I respect your choice. I wish you all the best in the world. If you ever want to contact me, know that I love you very much and would be very happy to hear from you. But you shouldn't feel guilty if you decide not to. Remember, you always have my respect, love and support.
However, they met much later - in 1994, after 23 years of separation. Tony said that now his daughter is an adult and will decide for herself whether to communicate with her mother or not. At the same time, he forbade her to do this, saying that he would stop seeing her himself. And Kyoko loved her father very much, he was the only person who took care of her all these years. In addition, she was afraid of Yoko's publicity.
Yoko Ono with her daughter and granddaughter
One smart person helped mother and daughter meet - Kyoko’s husband. Then she was already 31 years old and was expecting her first child. He said that she should see her mother before she gives birth. It’s not good if the granddaughter then asks where her grandmother is. Since then, in one way or another, Yoko has been present in the life of her daughter and grandchildren.
Ethan Wayne on John Wayne
Ethan was born in 1962, during the heyday of John Wayne's career. The father named his son Ethan after his character Ethan Edwards in The Searchers, which many consider his best role. Ethan says John Wayne was an old school parent. He was a man of few words. He had a dog named Duke, and with its help he delivered letters to his friends. But his friends also called him Duke. This couple was often called the Big and Little Dukes.
John Wayne loved sailing on an old minesweeper. When he had free time, he sailed with his son even to Alaska. But mostly he worked, and Ethan practically grew up on the set. Most of all, Ethan was afraid of disappointing his father, who was an example for him. One day, when Ethan was 12 years old, his father asked him to drive an old pickup truck to a friend's ranch. The boy was initially unable to handle the truck. But my father was playing cards and didn’t even come to help. So Ethan had to solve his problem on his own.
One day in Mexico, when Ethan was seven, he and his father were swimming in the sea, he saw a large number of sea snakes. But his father simply told him not to be afraid and to swim. And the boy overcame his fear.
When John Wayne died, Ethan was 17. It was June 11, 1979. John felt unwell and the boy took him to the hospital. He thought everything would be okay. But that was their last trip together.
Erin Davis on Miles Davis
Miles Davis is a legendary American jazz player. His son Erin recalls that his father was considered a capricious performer because he turned his back to the audience. But that was not a sign of disrespect at all. My father just wanted to stand facing those who played with him.
Erin knew his father was a famous musician, but he didn't realize how famous he was. As a child, he always told him that he wanted to become a musician. And when the boy turned 14, Miles Davis took him on tour. And there he learned a lot both about music and about his father. There he realized that the most important thing for his father was to play, to improvise live.
In 1990, Erin's father invited him to play with him. This was a great chance for Erin, and he was afraid to miss it. He didn’t even rehearse, but simply watched how the other jazz players played. And I just started playing with them as equals.
