Viola Davis’ daughter is growing up fast

At just 8 years old, Genesis made her acting debut in Angry Birds 2 in 2019. Viola Davis’ daughter voiced a hatchling named Vivi in the movie based on the once-mega-popular iPhone game. At the Angry Birds 2 premiere in August 2019, Davis told Entertainment Tonight, “I don’t know if she wants to be an actress. I mean, the last time I checked she wanted to be a Navy Seal. I was really happy about that because I want her to be able to handle herself.” Genesis reflected on the major milestone, telling ET, “It feels great. I’m nervous. I’m excited. All at the same time.”

Perhaps Davis should have seen her daughter’s acting ambitions coming because for Halloween 2015, Genesis dressed up as her mom from that year’s Emmy Awards, donning a similar outfit, hairstyle, and trophy. The How to Get Away With Murder star shared the picture on Instagram and wrote, “So…..the Elsa costume? Didn’t work for her. The Pirate? A no go. So she finally said, ‘I just want to be YOU mommy’! So… uhh….this is ME.”
