Zoë Kravitz would be so open about her family this early into our conversation. Especially considering she is in her own lane and this is 100 per cent her moment. But I quickly realise this is a woman possessing an acute level of self-awareness. It’s nearly impossible to think of a scenario in which the daughter of iconic rock star Lenny Kravitz and actress and eternal beauty Lisa Bonet wouldn’t keep it real —particularly when it comes to owning who she is.
When she was in her early twenties, “There was a little bit of embarrassment around what came with my last name,” reveals Kravitz, who is now 33, shortly after we meet at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. “People would always assume that if I got a job, it was because of that. That was hard. But I was incredibly privileged. I got an agent easily. I’m not going to pretend like it didn’t help me get into the room. But I had to remember that I work hard, and as a child I was putting on performances in my grandparents’ house. And it had nothing to do with who my family was. It was because I loved it.” Over time, embracing her unique path has been about “wanting to prove not only to the world, but to myself, that I deserve to take up space in the industry,” she adds. “I’m proud of where I come from. Now it’s nice to be in a space where I feel like when people ask me about my parents, I’m not like, ‘Let’s not talk about that.’ I’m like, ‘They’re awesome. I’m grateful to be their child. And I also am my own human being.’ ”
