Laura Dern Explains Why She ‘Never Thought About’ Changing Her Last Name to Avoid Nepotism Claims

UnWrapped podcast: “I feel incredible pride about being the daughter of my parents,” Dern tells TheWrap

Some people may find it hard to work alongside their parents, but actress and producer Laura Dern sure doesn’t. In fact, according to the actress, it was a “dream beyond compare” to finally share a scene with her father Bruce Dern.

In “Palm Royale,” now streaming on Apple TV+, Dern and her dad Bruce play on-screen daughter and father Linda Shaw and Skeet Rollins. And, appearing in the newest episode of the “UnWrapped” podcast with her producing partner Jayme Lemons, Dern admitted there was some “hesitation” to asking him to join the show, but mostly just because she wasn’t sure if he wanted to.
