Not long after the show premiered, Temple received recognition for portraying the bubbly, earnest model-slash-businesswoman.
However, it seems that fame runs in the Temple family.
Temple’s father, Julien Temple, is far from your average dad.
Temple’s first film was a short documentary called “Sex Pistols Number 1,” perIMDb.
But not all his films were immediate hits.
His 1986 movie “Absolute Beginners” failed both at the box office and with critics.
“It’s still difficult for me to get funding because of it.”
The documentary director had trouble finding work in his home country because the film affected his reputation.
“I had to leave the UK,” he continued in his interview with the Guardian.
“Scorcese helped me get a green card,” Temple told the Guardian.
“I couldn’t do this without my family, they keep me so grounded,” she continued.
Having a unique name certainly helped their daughter leave an impression as she attempted to get cast for roles.
And it didn’t hurt that her parents already had Temple locked down in the name, either.
She would love the chance to work alongside her dad, she said.
“Oh no… Are you sure?”
Then, she auditioned for Kiera Knightly’s “Atonement,” which she also got.
Her parents didn’t have much more to worry about after that.
