Amy Adams, the acclaimed actress known for her remarkable contributions to film, has recently addressed her daughter Aviana’s potential aspirations within the entertainment industry. During an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the finale event for her new Apple TV series, *Cape Fear*, held in New York City on July 21, the actress provided insights into her daughter’s inclinations towards Hollywood.
Aviana, now 16 years old, has been exposed to the intricacies of a creative environment, thanks to her upbringing in a family of artists. Adams, who is married to filmmaker and artist Darren Le Gallo, expressed optimism about Aviana’s interest in production and shared that the family would explore the path she wishes to take. “I think we’ll see what she’s up for,” Adams remarked. “I know she’s interested in production as a whole, so we’ll see what avenue she decides to focus on.”
The young teen has previously made an appearance at her mother’s film events, including the world premiere of *Cape Fear* on June 2 in Los Angeles, highlighting her support for Adams’ career. Adams, who has been recognised with six Academy Award nominations, acknowledged the importance of allowing her daughter the space to carve her own path within the industry.
Darren Le Gallo, Aviana’s father, is also an established creative figure, known for his work as a filmmaker and as a formal artist. The couple has been together since meeting in an acting class in 2001, and Le Gallo made his directorial debut with *Sam & Kate* in 2022, a film that features stars like Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek. In conversations about life and its complexities, Le Gallo has often sought to include Aviana in discussions that have inspired his work, making their family dynamic a rich source of creativity.
During past discussions, Le Gallo mentioned how family conversations about life’s deeper issues ultimately influenced the narrative of *Sam & Kate*, which revolves around a son’s responsibilities in caring for his elderly father.
In addition to her father’s insights, Adams shared the importance of collaborative decision-making as a family. “Before I take a job, we sit down [as a family] and have a meeting: ‘Here’s what it will look like. Here’s the travelling. How do we feel about that?’” The actress elaborated on how crucial it is for all family members, including Aviana, to be part of the dialogue regarding her work and commitments.
Their family discussions might revolve around travel plans and the impact of her career on their lives. Adams recalled sharing experiences with Aviana, such as spending a summer in Boston or travelling to England for plays. “I’m really lucky she’s got a lot of wanderlust and she loves travelling,” Adams noted, highlighting the family’s shared enthusiasm for exploring new places together.
As for Adams’ latest project, *Cape Fear*, it is a modern reinterpretation of the classic 1991 psychological thriller, reflecting her continued evolution as an actress. The show features a ten-episode run, with its finale scheduled to be available for streaming on Apple TV from July 31.
Adams continues to balance her successful acting career with her role as a mother, fostering Aviana’s interests while also laying the groundwork for pathways in the creative sector should she choose to pursue them. As the world anticipates the conclusion of *Cape Fear*, many will be watching to see if Aviana ultimately decides to follow in her mother’s footsteps.
