His father is an ’80s icon who worked on a TV show about handsome cops hunting down murderous drug dealers in Florida.
More recently, this star with the matinee idol look has done films with Jane Fonda and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Dad also had an interesting love life that made headlines for decades.
He was once married to an Oscar-nominated actress, but they divorced, only to remarry and then divorce again years later.
They also had a daughter who is now a high-profile actress and is dating a top British musician who was formerly married to an Oscar-winning actress.
This child’s father’s ex-wife came from Hollywood royalty, as her mother worked for acclaimed film director Alfred Hitchcock (the man behind Vertigo and Psycho).
And there is also a connection to Antonio Banderas.
Who is this child?
Who is he? His father is an ’80s icon who worked on a TV show about cops hunting down drug dealers in Florida, then made films with Jane Fonda and Jamie Lee Curtis. He was married twice to an Oscar nominee. Mom was a teacher. Who is he?
He is 17-year-old Deacon Johnson.
His father is actor Don Johnson, 73, and his mother is former school teacher Kelley Phleger, 54.
The teenager appears to play football for the Thacher School in Los Angeles.
In a Friday Instagram post from Don, he was seen uninformed in the field in hunter green and cherry red when Dad added the caption: “My buddy.” The cool the brain, the funnier! #7.’
Don was a big TV star in the 1980s with “Miami Vice,” a series about undercover cops hunting down drug dealers during the 1980s cocaine boom.
This series is best remembered for the stylish clothing worn by detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs and the hit music, but the storylines were solid and reflected the true crimes that shook South Florida.
Don then starred in the hit series Nash Bridges alongside Cheech Marin.
The crime series takes place in San Francisco.
More recently, he has appeared in films such as Book Club with Fonda and Knives Out with Curtis.

Griffith had daughter Stella with actor Zorro and Puss N Boots actor Antonio Banderas.

Don – who used to party hard – changed when he met Kelley, a Montessori teacher.
In 2017, he told : “People don’t develop to the point where they can have lasting, mature relationships until their 30s, and that’s true for some of us.”
Then he said with a gesture to himself, “It will take even longer.”
Don said he stopped using drugs with the help of Buddhism and New Age self-help. He also let go of the “fear.”

“When I was a young man in Hollywood, drugs, alcohol and partying were ubiquitous and difficult to escape.”
“It doesn’t become a problem right away, it takes time and it has led to some bad decisions.”
At the end of the 2000s, Johnson changed his ways and sold his 20 cars and his ranch in Colorado.
A few years later, he received a $19 million settlement for a share of the profits from Nash Bridges, which he dreamed up with writer Hunter S. Thompson.
Next up for Don is the lead role in “Rebel Ridge” alongside AnnaSophia Robb.
The synopsis reads: “A high-paced thriller that explores systemic American injustices through bone-crushing action sequences, suspense and dark humor.”
