Iris Apatow (born October 12, 2002) is an American actress, known for her roles in Funny People (2009), This Is 40 (2012) and Knocked Up (2007). She is the daughter of comedian and director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann, and has appeared in several of her father's films. She is one Olivia Rodrigo's best friends.[1][2]
Relationship with Olivia Rodrigo[]
Rodrigo cites Apatow as her best friend. She told Vice they’re like Sex and the City characters Carrie and Samantha, adding, “We are dramatic, fiercely loyal, and we both love going to brunch.” Rodrigo told GQ they’re “obsessed with early-2000s culture,” like The Simple Life.
Speaking of the aughts, that’s when Apatow began her career as a child actor. She appeared in Knocked Up as Charlotte, the youngest child of Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd’s characters (a role she reprised in its sequel, This Is 40). How did she get the part? She’s Mann’s daughter in real life, and calls the film’s director Judd Apatow “Dad.” Some may also recognize her from Love, a Netflix series her father produced.
Despite her upbringing, Apatow attended high school. After her graduation in 2021, she lent her BFF, Rodrigo, her cap and gown for a photo that made Instagram. “I was homeschooled, and we don’t have a graduation, so I just stole hers and took a picture in it,” Rodrigo said in her GQ Actually Me interview.[2]
She also appeared in the music video for Rodrigo's "Bad Idea Right?" and SOUR Prom.[3][4]
