In Hollywood, it’s not uncommon for talent to run in the family. Just like the Beckhams, the Kardashians, Susan Sarandon and her daughter, or Catherine Zeta-Jones and her daughter, famous parents often pass down their star power to their children. And one such celebrity is none other than Billie Eilish.
Fans of the 22-year-old singer were recently shocked to discover that her mother is also famous. Making a cameo appearance in a beloved 90s show, Billie’s mom, Maggie Baird, left fans in awe.
Maggie appeared in an episode of the iconic sitcom Friends, titled ‘The One Where Joey Loses His Audience’. She played the role of Casting Director 2, who Joey Tribbiani, portrayed by Matt LeBlanc, auditions in front of. In the scene, Joey struggles due to a painful hernia, causing him to suggest a different way to showcase the product he’s auditioning for.
The resurfacing clip has left fans of both Friends and Billie Eilish in disbelief. Many took to Instagram to express their shock and surprise at this unexpected crossover. Some fans couldn’t believe they had missed it while watching the show, with one writing, “HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS.” Another fan exclaimed, “OMG NOOOOO FREAKING WAY?!!!!!!! WHAT? I AM GOBSMACKED!”
Billie Eilish’s mom’s appearance on Friends has sparked quite a conversation. Fans are now speculating if Billie is a “Nepo Baby,” a term used to describe individuals in the entertainment industry who have famous parents.
Billie herself has recently shared a rare insight into her personal life, speaking about her ex-boyfriend Jesse Rutherford and addressing cheating claims. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she confirmed that they remain on good terms and described him as “truly one of my favorite people in the world.” As for her current relationship status, Billie joked, “I plan on never dating again… But no, I don’t see myself being serious with anyone until I find someone that really feels right to me, and that is not interesting to me right now.”
It’s fascinating to learn about the connections and surprises within the world of celebrities. Who knows what other hidden gems might be waiting to be discovered?
