Aviana Olea Le Gallo, the 16-year-old daughter of actress Amy Adams, is now considering a career in Hollywood, a shift from her previous expressed desire for a different path. Adams shared in a recent interview with People that her daughter is "interested" in pursuing a role within the entertainment industry, specifically mentioning an interest in production.
"I think we'll see what she's up for," Adams told People. "I know she's interested in production as a whole, so we'll see what avenue she decides to focus on."
Two years prior, Adams had stated that her daughter "very much wants a different path" and that show business was "not her current plan." However, Aviana has since appeared in two films. She had a cameo as a dancer in her father Darren Le Gallo's 2022 film, "Sam & Kate," and a role as a "little girl in town square" in her mother's 2022 Disney+ film, "Disenchanted."
Adams explained during an appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" that Aviana's involvement in "Disenchanted" was due to COVID-19 restrictions requiring her mother to invite her to be in the movie if they wanted to spend time together. "So she walks through the market and sort of gazes longingly at a dragonfruit, and her mother pulls her away. It was really great," Adams recalled.
Adams also noted that Aviana has been part of the family's decision-making process regarding her filming schedules for several years. "We've been talking about it since she was quite young. 'How do you feel about spending a summer in Boston?' Or, 'How do you feel about coming to England with me when I do the play?' And I'm really lucky she's got a lot of wanderlust and she loves traveling," Adams told People in 2024.
Amy Adams recently starred in and executive produced the Apple TV+ reimagining of "Cape Fear," which concludes its 10-episode run this Friday. The series also features Javier Bardem, Patrick Wilson, and Juliette Lewis. Adams's upcoming projects include the sci-fi drama "Klara and the Sun" and the sci-fi adventure "Star Wars: Starfighter."
