JUDD APATOW

After discovering the wonders of stand-up comedy, Judd Apatow immediately worked on his comedic skills and sense of humor. Although he’s landed a couple of gigs as a stand-up comedian during the earlier years of his career, Judd has since become most known as a filmmaker. Most of the projects he’s made investments in mainly comprised of comedy movies such as Trainwreck, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Pineapple Express, and Superbad.

With his wife, the actress Leslie Mann, Judd has two children, and both are already making their way into the spotlight. His eldest, daughter Maude, landed her first acting gig when she was seven years old, appearing in her father’s 2005 movie, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Since then, Maude garnered even more recognition with her performance in subsequent projects like Assassination Nation, Euphoria, and The King of Staten Island, the latter directed by her father.
