Actress Meg Ryan (64) made her first mother-son red carpet appearance alongside her son Jack Quaid (34).

Meg Ryan and Jack Quaid attended the opening event of the Lucas Narrative Art Museum in Los Angeles, USA, on the 19th (local time). This marks the first time the two have appeared together on a red carpet. US entertainment media Entertainment Weekly (EW) reported on their first joint red carpet appearance on the 22nd.

The pair had not been seen together at any official event for nearly nine years since they were spotted attending a New York Knicks basketball game in December 2017. E! News described this meeting as their first public outing together in several years.

Jack Quaid was born in 1992 to Meg Ryan and actor Dennis Quaid. At 34 years old, he has been active as an actor, appearing in films such as "The Hunger Games" and "Oppenheimer," and the drama series "The Boys."

Jack Quaid has built his career as an actor without relying on his parents' fame. After making his debut with the 2012 film "The Hunger Games," he went on to appear in "The Boys," "Oppenheimer," "Novocaine," and more. He gained widespread recognition for his role as Hughie Campbell in the Amazon Prime Video series "The Boys."

Meg Ryan and her son have also worked together. Jack Quaid appeared in the 2015 film "Ithaca," directed by Ryan. At the time, Ryan expressed that she felt anxious about directing her first feature film as a director, but noted that her son encouraged her. According to InStyle, Jack jokingly told Ryan at the time that he was "as good as Martin Scorsese."

Jack Quaid has acknowledged that having both parents as actors made his upbringing unique. At the same time, he admitted that while he benefited from certain privileges due to his parents' fame in Hollywood, he has worked hard to build his own career.

Meg Ryan has also actively supported her son's acting career. Regarding Jack Quaid being labeled a "nepo baby," Ryan has defended her son's talent and diligence. Jack himself explained that while it is true he grew up in an environment close to the film industry due to his parents, he has worked hard to carve out his own path.

The Lucas Narrative Art Museum, where the event was held, was founded by filmmaker George Lucas and his wife Melody Hobsen. The opening ceremony on the 19th saw a large turnout of Hollywood stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Harrison Ford, Oprah Winfrey, and Kim Kardashian, in addition to Meg Ryan and Jack Quaid. The museum will open to the general public starting on the 22nd.

Meg Ryan rose to prominence as a leading actress of 1990s Hollywood romantic comedies with films such as "When Harry Met Sally" (1989), "Sleepless in Seattle," and "You've Got Mail."

Ryan had reduced her acting activities for some time before returning to the screen in the 2023 film "What Happens Later," in which she also served as director and lead actress.

In the 2025 Hellmann's mayonnaise commercial titled "When Sally Met Hellmann's," she reunited with Billy Crystal. The ad parodies the famous deli scene from the 1989 film "When Harry Met Sally," recreating the iconic moment for the first time in 35 years.
