At the time, Clara commented on an Instagram post from her verified account and criticised her dad's new girlfriend.

Happily, Clara is now close to both her parents and has even followed in her father’s acting footsteps. She made her aspirations clear in an interview with Playboy in 2018 – but also admitted she had tried to deny it for years.

She said: "All throughout high school I really turned my back on acting. I said I was going to be a photographer, I'm going to be behind the lens. At 12-years-old, I moved to LA, which is all Hollywood and all I was asked is, 'Are you going to do what your dad does?' I was rebelling."
