Sofia Coppola

Filmmaker Sofia Coppola and Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars' daughter Romy is going viral for a cooking video where she talks about her famous family.

[Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix](https://www.avclub.com/phoenix-wolfgang-amadeus-phoenix-1798206260). In a TikTok video shared to Twitter by user [@savbrads](https://twitter.com/savbrads/), Romy shares that she’s at home testing out her cooking skills for a particularly unusual reason. She admits that she had to Google pictures to tell the difference between onions and garlic, proceeding to chop up a shallot even though it didn’t match her search results. Spoiler alert: even without a public account, the video has still been viewed well over a million times, thanks to its uniquely chaotic energy.

At one point, she holds up a shallot and asks her followers, “Is this an onion?” Mars went on to share that her parents “don’t want me to be a nepotism kid, but TikTok is not gonna make me famous, so it doesn’t really matter.” “Because I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend,” she says.

Sofia Coppola has kept her 16-year-old daughter Romy out of the spotlight for the majority of her life — but now she's going viral on TikTok. · And just how did ...

"I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend," Romy explained in the now-deleted video. And just how did she end up going viral? Because she casually tried to charter a helicopter on a credit card belonging to her dad, Phoenix singer Thomas Mars.

Despite being the daughter of two famous parents — filmmaker Sofia Coppola and her husband Thomas Mars of the band Phoenix — 16-year-old Romy has more or less ...

All thanks to a now-deleted viral TikTok post involving a helicopter, stolen credit card and vodka pasta sauce.

I was on location and away from my daughters [currently in middle and high school] who I felt were needing a mother,” in reference to Romy and her little sister Cosima, 12. Or, at the very least, granted a sequel on the social media platform. In 2020, she made her modelling debut for cult Gen Z brand Heaven by Marc Jacobs, where she styled and shot all the photos for the campaign herself. She then panned the camera to her babysitter’s boyfriend, who was petting a dog in the five-storey West Village townhouse that her parents bought in 2012 for $9.85 million (£8m). She’s not just a nepo baby, but a nepo-grandbaby — with legendary Hollywood director Francis Coppola of The Godfather fame as her grandfather. No, it was because she attempted to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland to have dinner with a friend from summer camp — all with her father’s credit card.

Romy Mars, the 16-year-old daughter of Oscar-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola and Phoenix lead singer Thomas Mars, went viral on social media this week after one ...

I just want them to have a childhood.” “I never saw the point of taking little kids to movie premieres and stuff. As she prepped the vodka sauce, Romy told the camera that she decided to post her cooking video on TikTok “since I’m already grounded because my parents’ biggest rule is I’m not allowed to have any public social media accounts.” After her divorce from Jonze in 1999, she went on to marry Mars during an Italian wedding ceremony in August 2011. “Here’s why,” she said, while picking up her father’s Grammy award. In the clip, which has since been viewed more than 1 million times, Romy is seen talking about [nepotism](/topic/nepotism) as she cooks in her parents’ kitchen.

Here’s why.” Cut to a second-long clip of her holding up a Grammy Award and smiling for the camera. Assuming she figures out a way to circumvent her parents’ rules again, I can’t wait to see her sophomore project. “Make a vodka sauce pasta with me because I’m grounded,” the video begins — an intro that could come from any bored teen with access to their parents’ liquor cabinet. She goes on: “Because they don’t want me to be a nepotism kid. It’s a TikTok of Sofia Coppola’s 16-year-old daughter preparing to make pasta à la vodka while grounded for trying to charter a helicopter on her parents’ credit card. When the child of a celebrity makes art, it’s customary to view it with a heavy dose of skepticism, the assumption being that their inherited access to wealth, power, and other creative resources does not necessarily make them a great candidate for insightful commentary on the world.

Romy Mars took to TikTok to premiere a captivating short film about her experience being grounded. I implore all to watch.

After Romy asks what he thinks of the helicopter fiasco, he generously spins her incorrect pronunciation of the word “fiasco” (she says, “fiasca”) as a political statement on gender roles. It’s women’s history month, so…” she says before concluding the short film by announcing Ari has to go pick up literally all of the ingredients needed to make vodka sauce pasta (except for the onion, which is actually a shallot.) In under 50 seconds, we are taken on a wayward journey of insurrection, influence, gender politics, and helicopters. And before we can get too unsettled by the implications of both what she was about to say and her being unable to distinguish between two very common root vegetables, she segues into a surprise character introduction. Instead, the promise of vodka sauce pasta serves as a vehicle in which we, the audience, are transported into the world of a nepo-baby. First, it provides us with exposition: “Make a vodka sauce pasta with me because I’m grounded because I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend,” Romy explains in her kitchen. “Here’s why,” she says as she holds up her dad’s (Thomas Mars, lead singer of Phoenix) Grammy Award.

But there are many exceptions, and Mars seems to have the potential to be one of them. As she starts to cook, she shares that she does not know the difference between garlic and onion, and had to look up what they looked like. And while comments on this subject tend toward the negative, the video has been met with a warmer reception, with some saying Mars has the potential to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a great director.

Then she chops up some ingredients for a pasta sauce, as the video becomes more and more chaotic. In the video, she admits she was grounded for trying to charter a helicopter without permission.

Romy Mars was grounded for trying to charter a helicopter to visit her camp friend for dinner. So, she took to TikTok to try to make pasta.

I did, at least. Until yesterday when a new voice approached the microphone, erhm TikTok-ophone: Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' daughter, Romy Mars.

Romy Mars may just be her family's newest moviemaking protegé—and it's all because of a 49-second TikTok video that's quickly gone viral on Twitter.

The entire exchange felt so absurdly hilarious that it had viewers commenting that if this was scripted by the teen, she would be giving Coppola a run for her filmmaking money.
