Billionaire activist investor Nelson Peltz’s family seems to have acting, not investing, on their minds.
Peltz, the founder of Trian Fund Management, will see his daughter, Nicola Peltz, 19, play Mark Wahlberg’s daughter Tessa Yeager in “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” opening Tuesday.
In a promotional YouTube video posted last week, Nicola said the relationship in the role is similar to the one she has with Nelson.
“My favorite part of the whole movie, you know, having to do with my character is the father/daughter relationship because I’m so close with my dad. I think it’s so important to have a strong dad.”
Peltz has had TV gigs and smaller roles in films such as “The Last Airbender.”
She’s not the only one bit by the acting bug in the family; Her brother William Peltz is also an actor.
