Francis Ford Coppola Brings His Granddaughter Romy, 17, to Cannes Premiere of Megalopolis

On Thursday, May 16, the director, 85, was photographed attending the Cannes premiere of his film Megalopolis, posing with his granddaughter Romy Mars, 17. Wearing a black suit and a black bow tie, Francis added a wooden cane and hat to accessorize as he stood with his granddaughter.

Romy matched her grandfather’s outfit color choice, wearing a sleeveless black dress and sparkly heels. The two were photographed walking the red carpet together, and later Romy was seen escorting her grandfather to his seat in the theater.

Francis’ daughter Sofia Coppola, 53, is mom to Romy and Cosima, 13, whom she shares with her musician husband Thomas Mars.

This isn’t the first time that Romy has been seen in the public eye. In March, Sophia’s eldest daughter shared a since-deleted TikTok where she told viewers to “make a vodka pasta sauce with me because I’m grounded.”

Romy then explained why she was grounded, saying that she “tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend.”
