17 Dec
Summary
- Aled Jones insists he had no role in his daughter Emilia's Hollywood rise.
- Emilia Jones starred in the Oscar-winning film CODA, requiring nine months of sign language study.
- Emilia Jones' latest role was in 'The Running Man,' a film that grossed over $68.4 million.
Aled Jones, the famed singer, has publicly stated he has had no part in his daughter Emilia Jones' significant Hollywood achievements. Emilia, who starred in the critically acclaimed, Oscar-winning film 'CODA,' dedicated nine months to mastering sign language for her role, a feat her father finds immensely prideful. Despite her success, Jones noted that many people remain unaware of their relationship, thus avoiding any claims of nepotism.
Jones, who rose to fame with 'Walking In The Air' in 1985, also shared that Emilia continues to reside at home. He expressed pride in her journey from a childhood role in 'Shrek The Musical' to achieving an Academy Award for her performance. Her recent venture includes a role in the action thriller 'The Running Man,' which has garnered over $68.4 million at the box office.
Emilia's acting career is poised for further growth with upcoming projects, including a biopic about chef Anthony Bourdain. She is slated to portray Bourdain's first wife, Nancy Putkoski, in the film 'Tony.' This trajectory underscores her independent success in the competitive film industry, separate from her father's musical legacy.
