While Anna Faris continues making headlines with her return to the Scary Movie franchise, another member of her family has quietly captured fans' attention. Margot Barrett, the actress' stepdaughter, recently found herself in the spotlight after Faris shared a rare photo and heartfelt tribute, calling her "beautiful" and "brilliant." And judging by Faris' latest comments, the pair seems to share a bond that goes far beyond social media lessons. 

So, who exactly is Margot Barrett, and what do we know about her relationship with the Hollywood star?

Margot Barrett is the daughter of acclaimed cinematographer Michael Barrett, known for his work on films such as Ted, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and Bobby. She became Anna Faris' stepdaughter after the actress married Michael Barrett in 2021. Unlike her father and stepmother, Margot maintains a relatively private life and rarely makes public appearances, though she occasionally features in family photos and social media posts shared by Faris.

In July 2024, Faris revealed during an appearance on Today that Margot was attending Georgetown University. The actress spoke proudly about her stepdaughter's academic achievements, describing her as someone who was excelling in her studies. More recently, Faris shared a rare Instagram photo alongside Margot, affectionately calling her "beautiful" and "brilliant" while joking that the college student was helping her learn how to use Instagram "again."

And while Faris continues to celebrate family milestones, her professional calendar is proving just as busy.

Anna Faris is enjoying a major career resurgence in 2026. The actress has officially returned to her most iconic role, reprising Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie 6 alongside Regina Hall and the Wayans brothers for the first time in nearly two decades. Directed by Michael Tiddes, the film spoofs modern horror trends, viral internet phenomena, and the latest wave of "elevated horror," marking Faris' long-awaited comeback to the franchise that launched her into comedy stardom.

Beyond Scary Movie 6, Faris recently revealed that a sequel to The House Bunny may finally be gaining momentum, confirming there is official interest in revisiting Shelley Darlingson nearly two decades after the original film's release. Meanwhile, she continues to connect with fans through her long-running Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast, which remains a key part of her 2026 slate through celebrity interviews, advice segments, and fan-favourite throwback episodes.

As Anna Faris gears up for a major return to the spotlight with Scary Movie 6 and potentially The House Bunny 2, her bond with stepdaughter Margot Barrett continues to offer fans a rare glimpse into her life away from the cameras.
