Nepo-baby actress with TV star dad and movie icon mum spotted in LA – but can you guess who her A-list parents are?
A NEPO baby with a TV actor dad and Hollywood star mum has been spotted out in LA, but can you guess who her parents are?
She followed in their acting footsteps and has already bagged a Netflix series.
West Duchovny has been spotted with her dad, X Files legend David taking a stroll through the streets of their hometown.
The very recognisable actor, 64, wore a white t-shirt, beige trousers and black and white sneakers, and covered his eyes with dark sunglasses.
West matched his relaxed look wearing blue denin shorts and a navy jumper.
Her mum is David’s ex Tea Leoni, 58, who is also a huge Hollywood actress famous for roles in the original Bad Boys movie and Jurassic Park III.
Tea married David at the height of his fame in 1997 and they welcomed daughter West, and son Kyd Miller into the world, but divorced in 2014.
At only 25, West has a string of TV and movie roles already under her belt.
The most outstanding of which is in Netflix drama Painkiller.
In it, she plays whistleblower Shannon Schaeffer, who helps uncover the full extent of the real-life OxyContin scandal in the US.
She has also been in TV series Saint X.
One of her earliest roles was in the revival of The X-Files, the show that saw dad David shoot to fame opposite Gillian Anderson.
Earlier this year, David shared his regrets that he was “working a lot” when his two children were growing up.
He said: “I was certainly working a lot when my kids were young. That’s something I might have changed.
“But then again, it’s also cool to model a person who’s engaged with their life for a kid.
“It might not be the best thing to just devote your entire existence to your kid either, so it could go either way…
“I don’t have access to the other road that could have been traveled.
“I just have the one that I did travel, so certainly not a perfect parent, but I love my kids. I love my kids so, so much.”
He also revealed West almost died as a baby in another interview this year.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, he explained she was diagnosed with respiratory virus RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) as a baby.
He said: “When my daughter West was nine months old, she got RSV.
“I’d never heard of it until my daughter got it and it’s very dangerous for infants and she went into the hospital and… nobody knew what it was.”
He continued: “They thought maybe she had meningitis.
“She was non-responsive. They gave her a spinal tap. It was really horrifying and this was her first cold, if you can remember as a parent, that first cold.”
He was starring as FBI agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files at the time, and said his wife stayed in the hospital with West.
He said: “I would go and visit after work for a few hours and then I’d go home.”
David said he tried to prepare himself for West not making it, but it was a horrifying thought.
He said: “This is a real possibility. I’ve got to ‘think about it’ and I realized I would never get over it.
“Not that I couldn’t live, but just that life would, as it says in the book, it would have no meaning or joy.
“I would go on, but I’d be a shell of something. And West was fine.”
He struggled to bond with West after that, because the thought of losing her had terrified him.
He added: “I don’t know if the word is reattaching, but accepting her back in. I was so terrified.”
The experience inspired him to write, direct and star in 2023 film Bucky F**king Dent.
He siad: “That’s the true heart of the story is really me as a father and not my father, and not my mother even, and not me as a son, but it’s really about, I’d say, me and my daughter.”
