Gregory Peck’s Grandson Followed In His Footsteps, And He’s The Spitting Image Of The Late Actor

Gregory Peck is one of the most iconic stars in Hollywood history. Even years after his death, the star’s rugged good looks and understated style are remembered as much as his acting prowess. And when Peck's grandson Ethan Peck followed in his footsteps to become an actor, it became clear that those particular skills weren’t the only thing that ran in the family.

The Peck family

In his personal life, Gregory Peck was married twice and had five children. His union with his first wife Greta Kukkonen produced three sons: Jonathan, Stephen, and Carey. The pair divorced in 1955, and a day after their split was finalized, he married Veronique Passani. They then went on to have two children together named Anthony and Cecilia. That family legacy had far-reaching implications.

A meaningful legacy

After a lauded career in Hollywood, Peck died of bronchopneumonia while sleeping at his home in Los Angeles in June 2003. He was survived by his wife Veronique and most of his children, apart from his eldest son, Jonathan, who had died in 1975 at the age of 30. But while Peck was no more, his legacy continued in the most meaningful way.

His legacy lives on

In fact, Peck is still considered a legend of the big screen. Fans often cite his rugged charm, laid-back style, and handsome good looks as part of the actor’s enduring image. It’s through this – as well as his screen presence – that Peck continues to be remembered. But that’s not the only way the star’s legacy lives on.

A leading man

Gregory Peck's grandson, Ethan, has followed his footsteps in Hollywood, and in more ways than one. Ethan has certainly had a lot to live up to: thanks to Gregory Peck's clear acting talents and handsome good looks, he became one of the top leading men in the movie industry throughout the 1940s and ‘50s. But despite him being a natural talent, the actor hadn’t always planned on having a career in front of the camera.
