Sometimes when an actor has famous family members, many fans don’t even know about their relationships. But in many cases, the famous faces are so similar that the relationship simply can’t be denied. That’s the case with Ralph Fiennes‘ nephew, who’s the spitting image of his uncle.
Hero Fiennes Tiffin, 27, has followed in his uncle’s footsteps as an actor, but he’s also perusing a lot more! He has also walked the runways for Dolce & Gabbana and Salvatore Ferragamo, clearly getting into the world of fashion and modeling.
It’s been quite the month for the Fiennes family, starting with Ralph Fiennes’ Oscar nomination for his role in Conclave. After that, there was another moment for the family to be proud of: The premiere of his nephew Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s new romcom, Picture This, starring Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley.
Fiennes is already a household name, but his nephew is just getting started. Hero Fiennes Tiffin was born into Britain’s Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes family, which can reportedly trace its roots back to the 14th century Chancellor of England William Wykeham. His parents are Martha Fiennes, a film director and writer, and George Tiffin, a cinematographer.
Ralph Fiennes isn’t his only famous uncle either, he is also related to Joseph Fiennes, who’s has appeared in both Shakespeare In Love and The Handmaid’s Tale.
Even if you’re not familiar with how he looks now, you may recognize a young Fiennes Tiffin from the Harry Potter films. In the franchise, he played a younger version of his uncle Ralph’s character, Voldemort in it. He can be seen in 2009’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as an 11-year-old Tom Riddle, per IMDB.
As for how much money the younger Fiennes is worth, it’s hard to know Hero’s exact net worth, but according to Yahoo! Entertainment, he has about $1.3 million to his name as of 2024.
So far, he has starred in films including The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, The Woman King, First Love and After We Collided. The Brit has also dabbled in modeling, walking runways for Dolce & Gabbana and Salvatore Ferragamo, according to Who What Wear. With how much he’s already accomplished at such a young age, it seems like we’ll see him in many more projects soon.
