Kaia Gerber, 25, recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, drawing comparisons to her mother, supermodel Cindy Crawford, for her striking resemblance. Gerber, who has followed in her mother's modeling footsteps and is now pursuing acting, wore a figure-hugging white dress for the television appearance.
While on the show to promote her FX series The Shards, Gerber spoke about her relationship with George Clooney, a close family friend and co-founder of Casamigos tequila with her father, Rande Gerber. Gerber referred to the Oscar-winning actor as 'Uncle George' and recounted his history of playing pranks on her during her childhood.
One particularly memorable incident Gerber shared involved Clooney attending her first leading role in a Malibu community theater production of Beauty and the Beast, where she played Belle. Clooney sat near the video camera recording the performance, and his laughter could be heard throughout the recording played at family functions. Gerber, who took the role seriously and treated it like a dramatic performance, humorously noted that it was not intended to be a comedy.
When asked by host Jimmy Kimmel if she believed Clooney was being supportive, Gerber responded, "I'm choosing that he was being supportive."
In addition to her acting career, Gerber also touched on personal family matters in a recent interview with Vogue magazine. She discussed how her older brother, Presley Gerber, 27, has experienced drug use and mental health struggles. Gerber shared that such challenges within a family can affect everyone involved, influencing her own desire to be perceived as the 'easy' child and avoid asking for help, as it felt like too much for her parents to manage two children needing support.
