    Soon after, Victoria posted a hilarious picture of Harper looking at the dolls confusingly. She captioned the picture, “When you find out mummy was a pop star!” (Looks like most of the Beckham children are totally clueless about their A-list parents.)

    The “Lizzie McGuire” star then transitioned to the moment her son found out about her fame. She said it was when he came came home from school and cheekily told her he knew her “name.”

    “I think some little rascal at school told him what my name is,” Duff said. “Luca didn’t know my name, and then he said to me, ‘I know your name.’ And I said, ‘I know.’ And he [shakes head] said, ‘I know your name.’ And I was like, ‘Ok.’ And he was like, ‘Hilary Duff.’”

    “To me, my mother was Audrey Dotti. I never realized she was Audrey Hepburn. I didn’t know she was a movie star,” Luca told People in 2015. “I’d say, ‘I don’t know who you are talking about. You must be mistaken. My mother is called Dotti. I didn’t know she was Audrey Hepburn until I was 6 or so.”

    “When I was a kid, I didn’t really know having parents that are actors were in any way different from my friends’ parents, who were lawyers,” he told Entertainment Tonight in 2016.

    “The moment where I realized it was slightly different was when I came to school one day, and I said, ‘I was on set.’ And they were like, ‘You were on set?’ I was like, ‘Oh, is that a thing?’ They were like, ‘Yes, it’s cool.’ I think that was the moment I realized it was slightly different than what most parents do. I had a very normal childhood considering.”

    “We were watching some videos of his performances,” he said on “Good Morning America“ in 2016. “But what blew my mind was when I saw these big, muscle-bound dudes fainting and having to be dragged out. So, I was like ‘OK, there’s something else going on here.'”
