Frank Leboeuf and Jade Leboeuf: Meet the father-daughter combo who are taking Hollywood by storm
He had a blink and you miss it role in The Theory of Everything, and is in a new arthouse movie. But Frank Leboeuf has a rival in the acting world... it's his beautiful daughter Jade
FRANK Lebouef was a Chelsea legend.
But ever since he retired, the former Blues defender has taken to acting, and like his pal Vinny Jones spends time in LA.
He has appeared in French movies Allies and The Eighth Sin, as well as had a blink and you might miss it moment in The Theory of Everything.
However, he has an acting rival in the family, and it's none other than his gorgeous 26-year-old daughter Jade.
The saucy French brunette regularly posts some seriously sexy snaps online that have us salivating at the mouth.
She starred in 2016 movie Everlasting as a generic rocker in a small scene, so she may have some catching up to do.
But while Frank, who appears to look even younger these days, may have the acting edge for now, his offspring has time on her side.
After hanging up his boots, the Stamford Bridge idol moved to Hollywood and took up acting lessons at the Lee Strasberg institute for two years.
He also made pals with the likes of Jason Statham and Owen Wilson as he honed his craft.
And it appears to have done the trick, with Frank scoring parts in theatre productions, as well as on the big screen.
Meanwhile, Jade has perfected her social media game - posting sultry snap after sultry snap as she has amassed over 60k in followers.
She described herself in the past as, "LA living, French born, Spanish blood, infinitely curious world traveller."
But it appears she's back in France for now, going to castings for modelling and acting gigs.
In March last year, she shared a topless photo celebrating World Women's Day, asking her followers to do the same and fight for their rights.

Frank has confessed in the past that acting was his passion before he made it as a footballer.
“When I gave up my career I went to LA. I worked four hours a day for two years to learn the process," he revealed.
“I came back to my first passion, which was movies and plays as well - when I was four-years-old I wanted to be an actor.
“For me, it’s just the beginning of another career.
"I don’t want to stop there. I want some day to have a role like Eddie Redmayne has and show what I’m capable of."
However, Frank wouldn't swap his 1998 World Cup winner's medal for France for an Oscar.
"Why do you want me to swap when I can have both?!" he once said.
"I won the World Cup where you share the trophy. I would rather have best movie than the best actor (award).";
As for Jade, we're still hoping she makes her mark on the acting world.
She is Frank's oldest child from his first marriage to his first wife, Beatrice.
