‘You are a star': A-lister couple's daughter keeps going viral
If you've missed the rise of Mars, you're probably just not on social media that much. The 18-year-old has garnered over 25 million likes on TikTok alone.
Her parents met on the set of The Virgin Suicides in the late 1990s. Her mum, of course, is the director of acclaimed movies like Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette, and her Dad is the lead singer of the indie French band Phoenix.
Her parents didn't tie the knot until 2013, and Mars also has a younger sister, Cosima, and she grew up rubbing shoulders with celebrities because of her parents.
It doesn't hurt that she also looks just like her famous mum.
The 18-year-old came to prominence, though, back in 2023.
When she shared a now-deleted video where she claimed she was grounded because she attempted to charter a helicopter to visit her friend and was caught using her dad's credit card.
The clip may have been deleted but it introduced Mars to the masses with a bang, and to this day, no one can be one hundred per cent sure if she was joking or not.
These days, she's making a name for herself with her music career. She released a song aptly titled A-lister this year that is getting buzz.
Perhaps what makes Mars so refreshing is that she's not shy about acknowledging her famous parents.
Earlier this week, she posted a video of herself proudly watching her dad perform on stage, and people loved it.
'Having Thomas Mars as your dad is iconic,' one praised.
'Having him and Sofia Coppola as parents is unreal,' another said.
'Having two iconic parents must be such a blessing,' one said.
Aside from acknowledging her famous parents, the 18-year-old uses social media for all the usual stuff that teenagers do.
She'll post room tours, videos of her hanging out with friends, or clips to promote her music. In typical teenage girl fashion, she also likes to vaguely mention a messy break-up with an ex,
Most of the content she posts is pretty similar to what anyone her age would, but there's always a sprinkling of affluence.
She recently shared a video of her trying on the designer brand Chanel and then attending a Chanel ball.
People online were nothing short of obsessed.
'You're such an icon, I can't,' one wrote.
'You are a star! We love you.'
'Iconic behaviour,' someone else said.

Curse hanging over Superman franchise as new film soars at box office
Forget Lex Luthor. Red Son. Or even Kryptonite. If urban myth is to be believed, the curse hanging over the Superman franchise poses more of a threat to those who play the Man of Steel than any plot line James Gunn could conjure up for the latest spin on the hero. The Guardians Of The Galaxy director has been charged with breathing new life into the DC Comics hero, casting David Corenswet as the Kryptonian, Rachel Brosnahan as his Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult in the role of Lex Luthor. Gunn's reboot comes after a series of box office disappointments with Henry Cavill's stint in the suit. Although Cavill's name is now in the mix to play James Bond, he expressed his disappointment about Gunn's recasting on Instagram in 2022, saying the news wasn't the easiest. 'But the changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that,' he wrote. Talk of a curse began way before Cavill was sent packing. Or even Zack Snyder's troubled Justice League film in 2017, and Bryan Singer's snooze-worthy Superman Returns a decade before that. It all started with TV Superman George Reeves' mysterious death in 1959. Found shot dead – ruled suicide but speculated to be murder – Reeves' disillusionment with superhero fame and subsequent alcoholism was detailed in the 2006 film Hollywoodland starring Ben Affleck. Affleck, who had played Daredevil before shooting Hollywoodland, told he understood Reeves' frustrations with the superhero genre. 'I knew how ridiculous you feel in a red suit,' Affleck laughed. 'You feel – even if these movies work – very, very silly.' Likewise, Affleck understood the downsides of fame. 'The modern form of typecasting, you don't get typecast as a certain character you get typecast as yourself, and with George they couldn't see past the Superman character,' Affleck explained. 'Nowadays the danger is that people don't see past what they read in the tabloids, and that can be as damaging if not more so than the other type of typecasting. I certainly can tell you from experience it's bad. It's bad psychologically, bad for your career.' Of course, Reeves wasn't the only actor whose career never really took flight after playing Superman. Dean Cain (who starred alongside Teri Hatcher in '90s TV series Lois & Clark), Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) and Tom Welling (who played a teenage Clark Kent in long-running TV show Smallville) also struggled after hanging up their capes. Perhaps the saddest example of the so-called curse came from the 1978 classic Superman, when its star Christopher Reeve was left paralysed from the neck down in 1995 after a horseriding accident. He died in 2004, aged 52. Adding to that tragedy, Reeve's co-star Margot Kidder (who played the feisty Lois Lane) took her own life in 2018 after a long struggle with bipolar disorder, and Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) was found dead in his home alongside his wife and dog in February this year. Lee John Quigley, who played Kal-El (aka baby Superman) in the same film, died when he was just 14. Before her death, Kidder shrugged off talk of a curse, telling The Telegraph in 2002: 'The idea cracks me up. What about the luck of Superman? 'When my car crashed this August, if I hadn't hit a telegraph pole after rolling three times, I would have dropped down a 50- to 60-foot ravine. Why don't people focus on that?' So, should the stars of James Gunn's reboot be quaking in their super suits? Josh Hartnett certainly thinks so. But not necessarily because of any curse. The Black Hawk Down star told The Guardian last year that he turned down the role of Superman twice because he didn't want to be swallowed up by the fame that came with playing a superhero. 'And you saw what happened to some people back then. They got obliterated by it. I didn't want that for myself,' he said. Likewise, in the documentary I Am Paul Walker, The Fast And The Furious actor's longtime pal and stunt double Oakley Lehman revealed Walker was in line to play Superman before he died. According to Walker's manager Matt Luber, he took one look at himself in the suit and thought: 'I've got an S on, I got a cape, boots, tights … this is not me. I'm getting the f*** out of here.' Certainly, anyone who takes on the mantle of Superman has big boots to fill. And Corenswet will have his work cut out for him living up to some of his predecessor's work. As will Superman 's writer and director Gunn, who fans expect to save their hero from the super scrapheap. Gunn seems confident he's found the right blend of cheesy nostalgia and tongue-in-cheek humour to make Superman soar once more. Speaking on the DC Studios Official Podcast, Gunn said his latest foray into the superhero genre wouldn't rely as heavily on catchy tunes and wisecracking characters as Guardians Of The Galaxy or Suicide Squad. 'Anything I do is going to be different, but it isn't about that, it's not relying on that, it's not relying on the songs, it's about this pure good, beautiful guy, who is trying to get by in a world that isn't those things and just happens to have superpowers, right?' he said. Celebrate the film's cinematic release on July 10 with a trip down Superman memory lane on Tubi. Airplane vs Volcano: Ex-Superman Dean Cain is among the everyday heroes trying to stay alive when the plane they're on flies into a ring of erupting volcanoes.

Donald Trump considering revoking Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship: ‘Threat to humanity'
President Donald Trump says he's considering revoking longtime nemesis Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship. 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Mr Trump wrote via Truth Social on Saturday. 'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA,' the president concluded the social media screed. Not to be outdone, the former talk show host, 63, fired back with a round of her own social media posts. 'Trump threatening Rosie's citizenship is like a cockroach trying to evict a lighthouse. She's a fixture. He's a f***ing infestation,' read one meme posted by the star. She added Barbra Streisand's Don't Rain on my Parade as a soundtrack to the savage comeback. Also via Instagram Stories, she re-shared a collage of photos of Mr Trump with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and others, with an image of an apparent Trump Truth Social post reading 'STOP TALKING ABOUT JEFFREY EPSTEIN!!!!!' in the centre. In a separate Instagram post on Saturday, the actress shared a collage of photos that included Mr Trump's Truth social post, various photos of herself and snapshots of an open window. 'The president of the usa has always hated the fact that i see him for who he is – a criminal conman sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself – this is why i moved to ireland,' she captioned the post, labelling the president as a 'dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity.' O'Donnell wrote that she stands 'in direct opposition all [sic] he represents,' noting that 'so do millions of others' and asked 'u gonna deport all who stand against ur eveil tendencies.' She concluded the post by calling Mr Trump a 'bad joke who cant form a coherent sentence' and added the hashtag #nevertrump. The A League of Their Own actress also posted a photo of Trump with the late Jeffrey Epstein. 'Hey donald – you're rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours,' she wrote in follow-up post. 'You call me a threat to humanity –
but I'm everything you fear:
a loud woman
a queer woman
a mother who tells the truth
an american who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze.' O'Donnell slammed Mr Trump's building of 'walls' while asserting that she builds 'a life for my autistic kid in a country where decency still exists.' She added that while she feels he craves 'loyalty,' she teaches her children 'to question power.' 'You are everything that is wrong with america –
and I'm everything you hate about what's still right with it,' she wrote in part. 'You want to revoke my citizenship?
go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.' O'Donnell concluded the post by writing that she's 'not [his] to silence i never was,' before signing off with an emoji of Ireland's flag. The actress, who frequently takes to the social media platform with sociopolitical views and criticisms, announced in March that she moved to Ireland following Trump's second election win in November. 'I'm here in Ireland. And it's beautiful and warm — not physically. It's actually quite cold,' she told fans in a TikTok video at the time. O'Donnell divulged that she left the US on January 15, just days before Mr Trump took office. 'I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back,' the actress said in part, adding that it's been 'heartbreaking' for her to see 'what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well.' 'The personal is political, as we all know,' she said. Also in March, the mum of five followed up with fans, sharing that she feels more at ease in Ireland. 'I feel healthier [and] I'm sleeping better without the stress and anxiety over what was happening politically in the country,' she said via TikTok.
