History Creator / LaurenceFishburne

Was married to Creator/GinaTorres, but currently separatee. His daughter from his first marriage, Montana, was formerly a porn star; he did not approve. His son from the same marriage is an actor and ballet dancer and [[StrongFamilyResemblance looks a lot like his father]]. Some movies take advantage of this by casting him as a younger version of a character played by his father, most notably in ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp''. He and Gina welcomed their first child, a daughter named Delilah, in 2007.
