I did a short film last summer that I wrote and directed and acted in. If I could do all of them at the same time that would be cool,” Apatow said to W. She also starred in the film and that is the trifecta Apatow is looking to hit. She made her directorial debut with the short film, Don’t Mind Alice. Then, Maude Apatow got to do something she always wanted to do, and if she has her way, it is the direction she would love to take her career. She shined in it and it led her to The House of Tomorrow. This was her first large role that did not involve her father. 2016 was a big year for her as she starred in Other People.

Maude Apatow finally got back in front of the camera in 2015 when she took on the role of Cleo in the TV series Girls. So, I like ripped out my tooth… It was not a loose tooth at all! It was not ready to go, and I just ripped it out.” Meyers followed up by wondering just how her parents reacted to her painfully removing a tooth to which Apatow answered, “I think my dad was like, ‘What is wrong with her? Oh no, we’ve raised a monster.’” SHE WANTS TO WRITE, SHE WANTS TO DIRECT, SHE WANTS TO ACT “I did a Gold Rush day and I wanted to look like a miner.

I remember I always really went for it, too,” Maude shared. Because of this, she grabbed a spot on Forbes 30 Under 30 list and then followed that up by being named by Time magazine as having one of the “Best Twitter Feeds of 2013.” Her online following got to be so big that it helped her become a contributor on Zooey Deschanel’s Hello Giggles website as both an interviewer and a writer.Īlthough she wasn’t in front of the camera in feature films, Maude Apatow was gaining recognition on her Twitter feed as well as with Hello Giggles. What she did do, though, was join the social media craze by jumping on Twitter. Over the next few years, Maude Apatow did not appear in any films. Now, I feel very prepared to go off on my own,” she explained to W. It was really nice to be able to do that with them first to get practice. I didn’t even realize what was going on, but I knew that I liked it. “I was so little when my dad cast me in movies. The first was for the 2012 Phoenix Film Critics Society Award for Best Young Actress and the second for the 2013 Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Feature Film – Supporting Young Actress. While Maude’s early career was clearly benefitting from an assist from her mom and dad, her appearance in the 2012 comedy brought her some attention as she was nominated for two awards. Her sister was also brought back for the spin-off. The film featured Mann and Paul Rudd’s character from Knocked Up and also brought back Maude Apatow as Sadie. This is 40 came out in 2012 and once again, the film came from the mind of Judd Apatow and it was a spin-off sequel to Knocked Up. It doesn’t hurt to be the daughter of a famous screenwriter/director/producer and actress. Maude followed that up, again two years later, by playing the daughter (yes, again) of Mann’s character in another of her father’s films (again), Funny People. Both played the daughters of Mann’s character. In fact, not only did Maude make the film, but so did her sister Iris. Two years later, Maude did make the final cut in her father’s comedy Knocked Up. This came in her father’s classic comedy, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, which starred Steve Carrell and included a hilarious bit with Mann as one of Carrell’s characters’ “hookups.” Now, if you don’t recall seeing a precocious 7-year-old in the film, don’t worry.

Maude Apatow was born on December 15, 1997, but the 24-year-old didn’t start acting until she was seven years old.

She is also the daughter of actress Leslie Mann, something that you can easily recognize when the two are standing next to each other. Maude Apatow is the daughter of director, producer, and screenwriter Judd Apatow. If you don’t know the last name, then shame on you.
