This nepo baby actor has been making his own name for himself in the film industry in recent years.

But his big break really came with the 2024 horror film Smile 2.

The American actor comes from Hollywood stock, and his famous father is known for his work in the horror industry. 

Having followed in his parents’ acting footsteps, this star’s breakthrough role even saw him emulate an iconic character played by his father. 

He has firmly settled himself in the world of celebrity, and has been dating Victoria’s Secret model Sara Sampaio since 2023. 

But after his strikingly familiar grin made an appearance on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday, can you guess who this actor is related to?

The star is none other than Ray Nicholson – the son of The Shining star Jack Nicholson.

Retired actor and filmmaker Jack, 87, is a three-time Academy Award winner, for Terms of Endearment, As Good as It Gets and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

But it’s his role as resort caretaker Jack Torrance in the 1980 horror film The Shining that really made him famous – along with his iconic-yet-terrifying grin. 

And his son Ray, 33, is the spitting image of his father, apparent during his red carpet Oscars appearance when he flashed a smile. 

Ray was joined on the red carpet at Dolby Theatre on Sunday by his Portuguese model girlfriend Sara, who has been dating since the summer of 2023. 

The actor, who is the son of Oscar winner Jack and former model Rebecca Broussard, 61, has followed in his father’s footsteps career-wise, after providing lots of scares in the horror hit Smile 2.

He is also set to star as a pop star’s obsessive fan in the upcoming Borderline, being produced by Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap company.

The film, which is slated for release on March 14, is a thriller about a stalker who invades the home of a pop star with the intention of marrying her. 

Meanwhile his girlfriend Sara will try her hand at villainy in the upcoming Superman.

She is set to take on the role as Eve Teschmacher, the ᴀssistant turned love interest to Nicholas Hoult’s bad guy Lex Luthor.

Sharing the trailer for the film scheduled for a July 11 release, Sara wrote: ‘So proud of the whole cast and crew. 

‘Still can’t believe I get to be a part of this! What is life?’

They oozed affection as they embraced in front of the camera at the high-profile celebrity event.

Sara radiated classic Hollywood glamour in a gorgeous black-and-burgundy off-the-shoulder gown from Zuhair Murad.

The gown featured a ruched bodice and a voluminous skirt with a slit to reveal her trim legs.

The dark material was enlivened with lovely dark red rose designs, and she paired the dress with a tasteful set of pointy black pumps.
