Hot Gallery: Surprise Celebrity Connections!
Doesn’t it sometimes seem like celebrities all know each other? Well, that’s probably because most of them do. Off the top of your head, you can probably name any number of famous Hollywood families—the Gyllenhaals, Baldwins, Arquettes, Robertses—but the connections aren’t always so obvious. Can you guess, for example, who Mirror Mirror star Lily Collins’ famous parent is? By Nina Hämmerling Smith

Singer Phil Collins Is Lily Collins’ Dad!
The beautiful young star of Mirror Mirror majored in broadcast journalism at USC—she’s written for British Elle Girl, Seventeen, and Teen Vogue—in between appearing in movies including The Blind Side, Abduction, and Priest.
You may have heard of newcomer Lily’s famous father—that would be none other than singer Phil Collins, who had a string of megahits in the ’80s, first with Genesis and then as a solo artist (hello, “Against All Odds”? “Easy Lover”? “Sussudio”?). What’s it like growing up a British legend’s daughter? Lily told Jimmy Kimmel about her “Uncle Elton” and her embarrassing encounters with Princess Diana and Prince Charles.
