Cate Blanchett’s eldest son, Dashiell John Upton, is stepping into the Hollywood limelight, much like his acclaimed mother. However, the 22-year-old is charting a course behind the camera, mirroring the profession of his father, Andrew Upton, a writer, producer, and director.
Dashiell John Upton recently secured a position on the set of the high-octane action film The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling. He served as an assistant in the camera department for a five-month stint, gaining invaluable on-set experience.
According to a family friend who spoke with Yahoo! Lifestyle, Dashiell maintained a low profile regarding his famous parentage during the project. “Dash never really told anybody who his mother was – as far as everyone else on set knew, he was just a recent graduate who was lucky to land himself on a Gosling shoot,” the source revealed. “He didn’t want people to think he was there just because of who his mum is.”
