While Maude Apatow is forging her own successful path in Hollywood by acting in projects like HBO’s “Euphoria,” she was surrounded by some of the best artists in the business right at home. Her parents are writer, director, and producer Judd Apatow and actor Leslie Mann. As her IMDb page states, Maude’s earliest parts were in projects that her famous parents were involved in, including roles in “Knocked Up,” “Funny People,” and “This Is 40.” Judd wrote and directed all three films, and Leslie played lead roles in each. Their collaborations have continued up to recent years, as Maude starred in the 2020 film “The King of Staten Island,” directed and written by her dad Judd. In an interview with Elle UK, Maude opened up about the experience of working with her dad as she promoted the movie.
“The best thing about working with my dad is … I think he knows me really well, and he pushes me because he knows what I’m capable of … I think I like working with him because he knows how to talk to me and direct me well, and we have fun working together,” she said. This talented family always manages to create an impressive and entertaining project, and they also have publicly shown how close they are in real life.
