Apple Martin is already following in her mother Gwyneth Paltrow’s footsteps by starting her Hollywood film career.
The 22-year-old has just landed her first major film role in a new, highly-anticipated Nancy Meyers movie, less than two weeks after graduating from college.
Meyers, widely regarded as one of the most powerful women in Tinseltown, has directed some of the most popular rom-coms of all-time, including Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday and It’s Complicated.
Her new film has just started production and is set for release on Christmas Day next year.
A-list actors attached to the project include Keiran Culkin, Jude Law, Penelope Cruz and Owen Wilson, according to Deadline.
