Children of celebrities grow up in a complicated world. Most of them are financially stable and have all sorts of great opportunities, but at the same time, they are exposed to media attention and pressure. Many of them would prefer to live an anonymous life or follow in their parents' footsteps without the pressure of having the media and the public know about their origins. To protect themselves from public scrutiny, many decide to adopt a new surname or produce their own projects under a different name.
