Sometimes it's hard to be a rock star's son or daughter. James Jagger certainly admits he is embarrassed to be the son of Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger
James, who mother is model Jerry Hall, opened up in a new interview with OK Magazine, stating what it is like growing up with the sort of attention that comes with his father in the Rolling Stones and how uncomfortable it often made him feel. "I'm incredibly proud to be a member of the family. I absolutely adore my dad and I'm incredibly proud of all his achievements, so I'm proud to be his son. At times, you kind of wish you had more anononymity and, when you're a teenager, it can be embarrassing at times, but I've gotten over it." He talked about the struggle to make a name for himself in the entertainment world, being saddled with a famous last name, and how that acted as more of a hindrance than a help. "If you come from any family with a name, the British press prefer to shoot you down. They want a working class hero to be successful, a boy done good, not someone from a family of entertainers."
Certainly he's done good for himself, despite his last name.
