Kate Winslet’s Daughter Is the Breakout Star of Wes Anderson’s ‘The Phoenician Scheme’

Wes Anderson‘s new film, which just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, is a whimsical (duh) and touching father-daughter tale that features Michael Cera doing a Norwegian accent and Tom Hanks playing basketball. It also happens to introduce our new favorite star who just happens to be related to someone very famous: Mia Threapleton.

Now, for what it’s worth, I spent the entire time watching The Phoenician Scheme unaware that Threapleton, whose last name doesn’t ring any bells, was what would be colloquially termed a “nepo baby,” and I am conflicted about highlighting her lineage here so you can have that same experience. It was only after I was wowed by her did I learn she is the daughter of Kate Winslet. Once you know that their resemblance is unmistakable. They even have a similar marking on their upper lip.
