‘Nepo baby’ Christian Wilkins enjoys a holiday in Greece with his famous father Richard as his Hollywood career comes to a standstill amid SAG strike
Richard Wilkins‘ son Christian is reconnecting with his roots in Greece.
The aspiring Hollywood star, 28, took to Instagram on Saturday to post a photo of himself in front of the Acropolis in Athens.
The picture showed the Australian socialite jumping in the air with a smile on his face in front of other tourists admiring the ancient structure.
In the caption, the Dancing with the Stars alum wrote ‘I LOVE GREECE’ and proceeded to list the reasons why.
‘As a little Greek boy (mom’s side) I was always obsessed with ancient Greece, collecting images and information on the Gods and ruins, creating my own books and images – so to be in the motherland for the first time is extremely overwhelming and surreal.’

‘Amazing to be in Greece for the first time with my son, seeing the incredible Acropolis in real life… shame I’m blocking it with my head,’ the elder Wilkins commented in a caption.
Soaking up the sun by the Aegean Sea is likely a welcome distraction from the hurdles facing Christian with respect to his Hollywood career.
Christian moved to Tinseltown in April to pursue acting, but has been struggling to find work because the SAG strike has brought Hollywood to a standstill.

It is likely a huge disappointment for Christian, whose connection to his father previously helped him pave a modelling and reality TV career back home.
Christian has been getting involved in the strike action, having recently attended a protest with Australian actor Luke Cook outside Netflix headquarters.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph during the demonstration, Christian said: ‘It definitely wouldn’t have been my choice example of a time to move here but it is also kind of amazing to be here and see how the community has banded together.’
