The 64-year-old actress attended the September 19 event wearing a classic black dress featuring lace detailing. She completed the look with round sunglasses and wore her signature blonde hair loose around her shoulders.<\/p>\n Jack, 34, appeared beside his mother in a suit and noticeably towered over her as they posed together for photographs.<\/p>\n The outing offered an uncommon public glimpse of Ryan with her eldest child, who has built a successful acting career of his own.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ryan has maintained a quieter public profile in recent years, while Jack has become widely recognized through major television and film projects.<\/p>\n Ryan and Jack are seldom photographed at public events together.<\/p>\n Before their latest Los Angeles appearance, the pair had been pictured attending a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden in 2017.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ryan shares Jack with her former husband, actor Dennis Quaid. She is also the mother of Daisy True Ryan, 21, whom she adopted in 2006.<\/p>\n With two established actors as parents, Jack grew up around the entertainment industry before eventually pursuing the same profession.<\/p>\n His career has now placed him firmly in the spotlight independently of the famous family in which he was raised.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jack made an early film appearance in The Hunger Games<\/em> in 2012. He later secured roles in the Scream<\/em> franchise and the Academy Award-winning film Oppenheimer<\/em>.<\/p>\n His most recognizable role has been Hughie Campbell in Prime Video\u2019s The Boys<\/em>. The series premiered in 2019 and concluded in 2026 after five seasons.<\/p>\n The end of The Boys<\/em> was not Jack\u2019s only major development this year.<\/p>\n He reportedly married his longtime partner and co-star, Australian actress Claudia Doumit, in Australia in April. Both Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid were said to have attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n Jack confirmed the marriage during a June appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em><\/p>\n His recent public outing with Ryan therefore arrived during a year marked by important developments in both his personal and professional life.<\/p>\n Ryan\u2019s appearance alongside her son also highlighted the close support she has expressed for his work and accomplishments.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jack\u2019s famous background has led to discussions about whether he should be described as a \u201cnepo baby,\u201d a label Ryan has openly rejected as unfair to his talent and dedication.<\/p>\n \u201cJack is really talented,\u201d Ryan told Glamour<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s more of a natural than I\u2019ll ever be,\u201d she added. \u201cThat nepo stuff is so dismissive of his work ethic, his gifts and how sensitive he is to the idea of his privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n Jack has acknowledged that growing up with two actors as parents gave him an unusual childhood, even if it did not initially feel that way.<\/p>\n \u201cI grew up with friends who also had parents in the industry, so it didn\u2019t really feel different,\u201d he told People<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cBut then you grow up, and you realize that\u2019s a pretty unique thing, that not one but two of your parents are actors. You don\u2019t realize that things are slightly abnormal until later.\u201d<\/p>\n While Jack recognizes the advantages of his upbringing, Ryan has remained adamant that his achievements should not be reduced to his family connections.<\/strong><\/p>\n Their appearance at the Lucas Museum event brought those two careers together for one evening: Ryan, the celebrated star of films including When Harry Met Sally<\/em>, and Jack, the grown son who followed both parents into acting and developed a recognizable body of work of his own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meg Ryan stepped back into the spotlight for a rare mother-son appearance with Jack Quaid at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.
