Magic Johnson – EJ Johnson

It seems like just yesterday that little EJ Johnson would attend red carpet events with his father, NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson, as seen in the photo on the left. At the time, many wondered if EJ would grow up to follow in his father’s rather large footsteps. However, today, it’s clear that EJ, unlike most other famous kids, will not attempt to recreate his father’s fame in basketball.

Instead, EJ became one of the up-and-coming names in fashion and reality TV. He stared on E! ‘s Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, which follows, as you might have guessed, the lives of famous kids. After the show, Johnson got his own spin-off of Kids, titled ELNYC, one of the first reality TV shows to focus on an LGBT person of color. Most recently, EJ revealed he’s currently working on his first fashion line!
