Meg Ryan and daughter Daisy, 20, make a rare public outing together as they enjoy a sunny day of shopping in New York
As a seasoned observer of Hollywood’s dynamic landscape, I must say that Jack Quaid’s journey is a fascinating blend of privilege and persistence. Born into a family with a rich acting legacy, he has undeniably benefited from the doors that opened due to his lineage. However, it is clear that he has also worked tirelessly to prove himself worthy of walking through those doors.
On a delightful, sun-kissed afternoon this past Wednesday in New York, I had the pleasure of spending some quality time shopping with my cherished daughter, Daisy True, marking a precious moment we shared publicly.
As a connoisseur of urban living, I recently found myself strolling through the vibrant streets of SoHo and TriBeCa, Los Angeles’ very own City of Angels. Accompanied by my young companion, we embarked on a literary journey at McNally Jackson Bookstore, where the aroma of knowledge filled the air. After satiating our intellectual curiosity, we ventured into the fashionable district of TriBeCa for a retail therapy session, seeking out the latest trends to complement our urban lifestyle.
At the Sarajevo Film Festival where she recently received an honor, the actress displayed her casual elegance in a simple white cotton blouse, dark cargo trousers, and sporty sneakers.
In the ’90s, the queen of romantic comedies accessorized with a crossbody bag and sunnies that protected her gaze. Her golden, shoulder-length hair fell in soft curls.
Daisy sported an elegant appearance, wearing a top embellished with butterflies, which she neatly tucked into a pair of denim trousers and cinched with a black waistband.
In 2006, I welcomed Daisy into my family after adopting her from China. Sharing a unique bond with Jack Quaid, who is 32 years old and the son of my former husband, renowned actor Dennis Quaid, age 70. This blended family journey has been a beautiful adventure for me.
1992 saw the arrival of Jack into the family of his former spouses, who had been together for a decade prior. They parted ways legally in 2001 after their marriage ended.
Five years later Meg went on to adopt Daisy, who was born in 2004.
Last year, the actress who starred in Sleepless in Seattle shared her affection for her children with People magazine, saying, “My kids are absolutely wonderful. They’re funny, intelligent, compassionate, considerate of others, and eager to learn about the world. I believe that they improve the world around them, and I feel an immense sense of pride in them.”
‘It is a joy to me to know both of them,’ the doting mom added.
Last year, Daisy began college. Upon this, Ryan mentioned that he had been visiting his daughter quite frequently, spending extended periods driving to the college campus just to catch up with Daisy over a cup of coffee.
Additionally, she acknowledged her firm parenting style, mentioning that Daisy didn’t receive a phone until she turned 15 years old.
She shared with People that she indeed possesses a multitude of varied passions, is an avid reader, and while phones aren’t everything to her, she does recall this fact.
As Daisy continues her studies, Jack has already embarked on a career path similar to his renowned acting parents.
In the year 2012, he first appeared as an actor in the movie “The Hunger Games.” Additionally, he has been seen in roles for films like “Oppenheimer,” “Logan Lucky,” and the television show “The Boys.”
In July, Jack openly acknowledged that he doesn’t shy away from the term ‘nepotism kid’, and he admitted that his status as a child of Hollywood has given him an advantage, or a position of privilege.
“Jack shared with the Daily Beast that he feels greatly advantaged, managed to secure representation at a relatively early stage, and believes this puts him significantly ahead in the competition.”
‘I had numerous opportunities to succeed, unlike many other actors. I’ve consistently given my best efforts to show that I’m worthy of seizing these chances and making the most of them.’
Jack recognizes his advantage too, given that his mother Meg holds the title of the ‘uncontested queen’ in romantic comedies, when he auditions for such roles.
He said to the media, “If it falls under the romantic comedy genre, it must stand out from the rest, and I’ll put in a lot of effort to make it unique.”
Interestingly, Ryan attempted to counter the “nepo baby” label by highlighting that the tag undermines the hard work his son has invested in building his career.
At that point, Ryan expressed his viewpoint that the criticism about nepotism undervalues his hard work, talents, and his awareness of his privileged position.
Jack was grateful for his mother’s return, but he didn’t hesitate to acknowledge the advantages he had gained due to being the child of well-known parents.
In his conversation with The Daily Beast, he expressed, “Initially, it seemed to me she was acting as a mother. She was showing love as a mom. However, I don’t believe she intended to imply that I’m a ‘nepo baby.’ Instead, I feel she was trying to express, from her perspective, that she believes it diminishes the recognition of my actual talent.”
I believe my talent isn’t compromised just because it took a lot of effort and rejections. I understand that the industry is tough, but I managed to make progress more easily than many others. Still, I acknowledge that I’ve faced more ‘no’s than ‘yes’s, but that doesn’t change the fact that I work hard.
Beyond juggling her responsibilities as a mother, Meg has recently resumed her acting career. Notably, she made a screen comeback in “What Happens Later,” which was released in 2023, marking eight years since her last appearance. She shared the screen with David Duchovny, who is 63 and famous for his role in The X Files, and she also served as the director and co-writer of this film.
In the 1980s, Meg rose to fame as she starred in popular films such as the first Top Gun and When Harry Met Sally, portraying the female lead in both productions.
Over time, she came to be closely associated with romantic comedies, and her most renowned movies in this genre are “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You’ve Got Mail.”
